Did you know that I am afraid of horses? Well, maybe not afraid – but I am definitely nervous around them. They are so humongous. Once I was at a horseback riding camp when I was little and I got stepped on. My toe was purple for years and years! A purple toe for years…
Easy Preschool Halloween Decorations: Jack-o-Lantern Windows
We whipped out this gem of a Halloween craft the other day — and I just need to say – it might be the best quiet time activity I have come up with. Not to toot my own horn, but any activity that keeps my little ones engaged on and off for a week deserves…

5 Little Pumpkins
I have said it many a time, but I will say it again – I just love celebrating holidays. And there is nothing quite like celebrating holidays with little ones. So we really live it up. And we start super early. October 1st saw our very first Halloween craft this year, and we have been…
