A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Happy Friday friends! This really does need to be just a photo on Friday – you can definitely get the whole idea from just this picture: However, for those of you keen to know just what I like to put in our craft…
On-the-Go Quiet Time Activities
Quiet time activities for trips and travelling! Are you getting tired of me sharing quiet time activities yet? Impossible! Great quiet time activities make for great quiet times. Great quiet times make for happy kids. And happy kids – well in my world, that means a happy me! One time when I really, really love…
Learn to Write with a Scavenger Hunt
We are in the middle of an exciting adventure right now – Sammy is completely taken with learning to write. He loves it! As you may know, I am a proponent for waiting to have little ones learn to write. There are SO many other things for those little hands to do! Playing in many…
Still Tracing Shadows
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the photo. I might need to rename my Friday posts to “It’s been 3 years and we are still doing the same things” Because quite truthfully, we are. Ben and I were building some shadows the other day with blocks and we decided to trace…

In the kindergarten classroom, I see the same things again and again and again. Little ones hitting, pushing, interrupting, yelling, grabbing, and tattling. Why? Simple. They are still very little. And making good choices is a…
The Easiest Play Dough Recipes
Is there anything better than a fresh batch of playdough when you’re little? I know it is something my little ones LOVE. We have a pretty stellar no-cook easy playdough recipe that is a staple around here. But the other day, I mixed it up a little and tried out a new playdough recipe. Best….
Valentine’s Day Playdough
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We whipped up a batch of my favourite no-cook playdough this week (I tell you friends, this recipe is the best! It takes 3 minutes to make and keeps for months.) I added a few jewels, cupcake liners, and heart shaped cookie cutters…
Woven Heart Basket: A simple tutorial
We made these simple and beautiful woven heart baskets again, so I thought I would share this post again too! Hard to believe I first wrote about these two years ago. Boy time flies, and apparently very little actually changes in our house … well except the house. Anyways … Here it is: We have…
