Do you remember learning to read? I do … nostalgic music strumming … I was aching to learn to read. My big brother knew how. My big sis did too. But poor little Sarah was just not old enough. Or so she was told. However, across the street lived a retired teacher, who as it…
Kid-made Rollerskates!
There are certain posts that I never plan on writing. A post on how to make your own rollerskates? Definitely not something that I thought was in my wheel house to share. However, amazing things can happen when you let little ones play, explore, and create – can’t they? My Sam is the inventor behind…

Looking to make a bird’s nest? Us too! Who wouldn’t be?! It is spring after all, so crafting must take a healthy nature twist as we readjust ourselves to being outside more. In fact, last spring we dissected a bird’s nest and I declared then and there that we would be attempting to make one….
8 Creative and Unique Preschool Spring Crafts

A Blossoming Spring Craft for Kids!
Winter is over! As much as I strive to enjoy each day and try to welcome the rhythm of the seasons – Winter is a tough season for me … the grey, the wet, the cold, the cold …. the cold. But Spring is officially here! We are beginning the time of year when it…
