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…
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…
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…
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…
Childhood is Not a Race {Printable Poster}
I thought I would try something a little different today. A printable poster for you! This poster should print perfectly onto an 8.5 x 11 standard piece of paper, just click the link below. Please let me know if you have any problems, otherwise print away! Thank you for helping to spread the word. There…
3 Little Robins
A couple of weeks ago we noticed a nest in one of our trees. Very shortly after that we noticed some eggs. And shortly after that (though it seemed like an eternity) those little eggs turned into beautiful baby birds. Of course my little ones wanted to stand right by that tree and peek at…
