The love of science is alive and well in our house right now. Both boys love everything dinosaur right now, with a fascination for space (amazingly awesome) close behind. I thought it was a great time to do some simple science experiments. We will be doing one with walking water soon, but today I think…

The Classic Tin Can Telephone {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is a photo. But most times I just can’t help myself. Do you remember this childhood classic? Two tin cans with holes punched in the top (we hammered in nails and then removed them), a piece of string knotted on the inside of the can, some…
The 6 Ways I Make Money from Home
I have been home with my little ones now for 3 full years. With a big decision finally sealed, we have decided to stay a one income family. I will be returning to teaching in the Fall in only the tiniest of ways, allowing me to do what I really want to do … be…

Birthday on the Farm
Today is my birthday! I had such a lovely day, and enjoyed every minute. With spring break this week, John is home, so we could have gone anywhere and done anything (well … not anywhere and anything …) But we didn’t. We spent the day in my most favourite place of all. At home. …
Spring Paper Rainbow
All things coloured. The theme of the late winter season continues in our home, with bright crafting running rampant. And thankfully, with the mild weather, my little ones have also been able to run rampant outside! We have been seeing so many signs of spring this past week, which is very early for us here…
A Simple Quote Mug {A Photo on Friday}
{A Photo on Friday} I am cheating a little bit this Friday, as this photo requires just a sentence or two. For this sweet quote mug I took a piece of contact paper and cut a heart out of the middle. I stuck this to the mug and then wrote my quote inside the heart….
