A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! Today I thought I would share a picture of some freshly dyed rainbow rice. I have been making rainbow rice for about 8 years now, and I must say – I’ve got it down to a fine science. As in, I have found…
A Marble Painted Monarch Butterfly Suncatcher
We are into our second week of homeschool and so far, so good! We have actually been so very busy with lessons, sessions, and activities with our co-op that I think we will have to cut a few things out. After all, we must be at home sometimes to in fact homeschool. But anyways, things…
Super Fun Ways to Play and Learn with STICKERS!
Who doesn’t love stickers? While I was teaching in the classroom I never once ran across a child that did not love a good sticker activity. I am not sure what it is, but stickers are just, plain, awesome. I am partnering with Pipsticks today to share some fun ways to play and learn with…
Make Any Worksheet Re-usable {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This nifty idea you will actually find in my Year of Quiet Bins Book. Simply put any maze, connect-the-dots, spot-the-difference, ect. pages into page protectors. Use dry erase markers with a dry wash cloth and little ones can do the pages again and…
A Sticky Fix {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I had been thinking (and thinking and thinking) about the best way to display my little ones art work. Our pictures can be really big (or very small) and I wanted to change them quite often. Just the other day I decided to…

My little sister is one of a kind. Thoughtful, sweet, and always has been. Truly. She is just one of those amazing people. She has…
Handprint T-Shirts {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is a picture. (Thought I might need to change the wording, as I very rarely actually share just a photo). I wrote a little bit about some crafts we had planned for our cottage trip this year a few weeks ago. I really wanted to find…
Fall Button Trees
Too soon for a Fall post? Hmmm … if so, please feel free to make these summer trees (you summer-loving Mamas you). But it’s coming … that F word. I actually like the F word, just not the W word. Did I lose you? Welcome to John’s world my friends. This Quiet Bin is another…
Fall Crafts: Fall Leaf Letters
With Fall on it’s way I have been thinking of my favourite Fall crafts for kids. This one we did last September, and it was such a hit we will be doing it again this year. It also held up really well, and looked great for a long time. This one is a great craft…
Let Them Face Paint {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We had some friends over last week and the kids got out the face paint. They had a blast! My little ones love to paint their own faces. Sometimes it is just simply for the process of painting them, and sometimes it is…
