Things have been busy around here lately friends. And truthfully, not fabulous. Nothing big at all, and I know I shouldn’t complain, just a lot of not so super days. You know the ones I am sure, the ones that make it hard to be the Mama. Given the above, I have had a couple…
Christmas-y Playdough Play Take 2
A photo on Friday. Happy Friday friends. This week we had some more Christmas-y fun with playdough. The kids were rolling thick and thin ropes of playdough (here is my ultimate no-cook recipe). These ropes were popped on to some white paper candy canes I had cut out. This activity is fabulous for developing and…
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…

Un-Chalking {A Photo on Friday}
{A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture.} We like to mix things up around here. When the chalkboard is getting a little lonely we mix things up to bring it back to life with some un-chalking (? Hmmm) I use the side of the chalk and cover the chalkboard in…
Playdough Construction Site Homemade Gift
We are on a mission these days to make our own. Make our own toys, food, and gifts. I have some trouble with the last one though (well, and the food one … but that is for another day). I fear, sometimes, that giving homemade gifts is perceived as being cheap. While we do like…
