A photo on Friday. Happy Friday! The kids and I had so much fun with this number math art. It is as simple as it looks, we just cut out numbers and turned them into eyes, ears, hair, and noses. It was a great chance for my little ones to look at numbers closely, compare…
4 Sneaky Ways to Get Kids Reading this Summer!
I am excited to partner with YMC and TD Summer Reading Club on this post about getting kids reading this summer! I had such big plans this summer for my little on-the-verge-of-reading guy.

An A-maze-ing Learning Letters Game!
Sometimes I feel like I am very productive and a real go-getter! And sometimes I feel like I am doing the same thing day in and day out. This blog of mine, which I love so very much, reminds me that I really do the latter. The same thing, day in and day out. But……
Alphabet Recognition Activities for Preschoolers

Five Green and Speckled Frogs Story Stones and More!
I just love it when two things I love collide! We were outside today enjoying our country property (did you see it yet? If not, let me show you around!) and gathering some stones. Our new(ish) place, being on a dirt road, has made my stone collectors very, very happy. I gave my collectors a mission…
Calming Technology
I am excited to partner with Hale’s Tale today to bring you this post on calming technology. I have been a Mama now for 15 years and can say that it feels as though parenting my oldest as a preschooler happened in a completely different world than I am parenting in now. We did not…

Get ready friends. It is time to rhyme! This post is full of rhyming activities for kids. These rhyming games are hands on, easy, and kids love them. We started thinking about rhyming the other day when we were outside. We saw a bird (a bird!) and I said, “my word .. a bird!” so…
Wait! Before You Choose Summer Camp…
I am so happy to partner with The Little Gym today to bring you some important things to consider before choosing a summer camp. Who knew that choosing a summer camp could create panic? Okay, that is a bit drastic. But really – who knew it would be stressful? This is our first year doing…
