Fabulous Fall Science Experiments
I really do love fall. I always have. The beautiful colors, the crisp air, pumpkin spiced everything… and perhaps most importantly, the end of MOSQUITOES! Mind you, this year wasn’t too bad for the guys, but I remember a few years back the mosquitoes in our area were truly out of this world. Our neighbours…

Crafts that involve wood, hammer, and nails are always (always) a hit around here. So I am always on the lookout for a fun and creative woodworking craft for my kids.

Number Learning Games for SUMMERTIME!

Calendar Activities
When I was teaching Kindergarten, I remember feeling so successful after calendar time. Really, if everything else that day fell to pieces, I would still feel like my little ones had learned so many important skills – just from our calendar activities!
