A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I have a very good friend who cooks very good food. Super healthy food. Food that I would never believe my children would actually eat. But once in awhile – they do! This breakfast casserole is so very healthy. The main ingredient is…

5 Minute Halloween Crafts!
It has been busy around here lately. Busy and full of change. Change I will talk to you about in the next day or so – just not quite yet. It is all good change, but change the same. And change is hard … or at least it is for this Mama. So I am…
Sight Word Games on the Pumpkin Patch
I have been wondering for a little while what to do with my older posts. Since I have been doing this for quite some time now, some of my old posts feel a bit awkward to me. I sort of feel like I was in that awkward teenage phase where I was trying to impress…
The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! We LOVE the Jillian Jiggs books. All of them!

Playing with Volume in the Rice Table!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Or a sneaky photo collage which could be classified as only one picture (it really could …trust me. I won the discussion with my husband – and yes, in our discussions you either win or lose — well, actually I either win or…
Super Sight Word Pencils!
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No … it’s a super-sight-word-pencil-to-help-little-ones-gain-confidence-with-their-writing-um, thing! I just love these super pencils and all of the confidence they give little writers.
