I cannot believe I am writing these words but … HAPPY SPRING! We did it! We made it through the winter! Never mind the fact that there is still a world of white outside my door – the promise has arrived, and that is good enough for me. That green grass and those pretty buds and…
Easter Egg Name Puzzles
Another holiday approaching means another name puzzle on the blog! I will do a round up once I have finished my first year of blogging with all of our name puzzles – like this Christmas tree one, and the Halloween pumpkin. For our Easter name puzzle I took some inspiration from Hands on as we…
Seed Art Ideas for Kids!
This week marks the beginning of Spring! Though there is nothing at all spring like around these parts yet. We have snow on top of our snow, and ice below that. This has been one long winter. But it will end. One day we will wake up and it will not look quite so white…
Comparing and Sorting Seeds – Let the Gardening Begin!
Last year we did a great big vegetable garden in our backyard – and loved it! In fact we still have some tomatoes and green beans in the freezer. I absolutely loved being outside in my garden, and probably for that exact reason, so did my kids. I never had to ask for a helper…
St Patrick’s Day Craft: Pepper Stamping!
We really don’t celebrate St Patrick’s day. I said it. The cat is out of the bag. I am a Mom who blogs about activities for kids and I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I am not anti-leprechaun at all (in fact, if anything I would be completely pro-leprechaun). It is just that March is…
Books About Death for Kids
Books about death for kids. As a teacher, a parent, and a blogger about resources for young children there are some topics I feel I NEED to write about, but I don’t particularly WANT to write about. As many of you know, we lost our baby at the end of October. Since then we have…
The Story of Delilah
I have decided I need to tell you a story. The story of Delilah. You might recall that name as I used to write about our little duckling here once in awhile. Little Delilah came to us when she was 3 days old. There is nothing quite as cute as a duckling, so when I…
Pretty Valentine’s Day Flowers
The countdown is officially on to Valentine’s Day. Fourteen days to go! We are still making little creations to send to Grandma and Gigi for Valentine’s Day. With some Valentine’s made with celery stamping, and some cozy yarn-wrapped hearts already set to go, I thought we would make some non-heart valentines. Before we get into it,…
Loofa Snowmen!
I do believe I have found the recipe for getting my creativity flowing. The key seems to be a glass of wine and a shower (Don’t worry – I shower at night, so the wine is reasonable). I tell you – SO many inspired crafts come to me in the shower. Actually, I would love…
Obstacle Course Ideas
Well Christmas is over and the New Year has begun! It is just about time when this Mama hits the February slump. The excitement of the snow has warn off, but the promise of spring is still so (so) far away. With the icy cold weather here for at least another 3 months, and the…
