We are building a barn! Yep, that’s right, we don’t actually have one yet. Our ladies (now 18 of them, with their trusty…
Telling Time – I Think It’s Time!
Time sure flies. I remember so vividly tucking that little 6-year-old of mine into bed when it was well before 7:00 pm on a cold winter’s night. His tired little body getting some much needed rest. And Mama too. But those days, I fear are a thing of the past. With a clock in his…

Halloween Counting Activity
1… 2… 3… 4… 5… I love the sound of my kids counting from our kitchen table. “Is this right mommy?” “Yep, looks like you have five little ghosts ready to glue on.” Counting is a great skill for your little one to develop, so you won’t want to miss out on this super easy…
