I love Wine Wednesday. Gives me an actual *reason* to indulge in wine, know what I mean? 😉 This week I’m going to talk about Flipside, which is a dry red blend. The cherry in this blend is very overwhelming, both when smelling and tasting. I also smelled hints of cocoa and pepper. Again, the taste has an overwhelming dark cherry…

Magazine Letter Hunt
What’s better than an activity that involves letter recognition, cutting, and gluing? An activity that the kids LOVE and one that holds their attention for a while, right? What if I told you this activity does ALL OF THAT? I’m serious. I was inspired by Playful Learning in the Early Years. She did this activity on a poster-size scale and…
Happy Birthday To My First Born
How can it be that my first born is four years old? My sweet Sylas… the baby who taught me how to be a mom, how to successfully breastfeed, how to change a diaper on my lap, how to love with my whole entire heart. We learned all the hard parts together and formed a bond greater than anything I…
Friday Pinterest Favorites
It’s Friday so I’m here to share some of my favorite pins from the week!! I love all the different ideas that can be found on Pinterest. Lego Zip Line from Little Bins for Little Hands -How cool is this?! My boys LOVE legos and with their age difference (6 years) it’s hard to find things that they both enjoy. I’m…
Name Recognition with Sidewalk Chalk
While we were outside playing today I wanted to do a learning activity with the toddlers. We hadn’t done much all day because Liam had a reaction to eggs and it threw our day off a little while we dealt with that. The kids were using sidewalk chalk so I grabbed a couple pieces myself and wrote out the names…
Paper Plate Wolf Craft
My toddlers are obsessed with the big bad wolf right now, Josie especially. Her favorite is The 3 Little Pigs but she’s also really enjoying Little Red Riding Hood. We read the books pretty often and I also found a couple YouTube videos of each story that the kids really like. Josie always asks to watch this “scary” Three Little…
4 Year Old Boy Gift Guide: Gift Ideas For a 4-Year-old Boy
Sylas’ 4th birthday is this weekend and my phone has been blowing up with people asking what he would like for his birthday. That’s a tough question to answer when I hadn’t really even thought about it myself. For inspiration, I decided to head over to Amazon and come up with a 4 year old boy gift guide. He’s a…
Weekend Wrap-Up
I hope you all had a good weekend! We did, even though it rained a lot and was cloudy the entire time. Except for Friday (I count that as the weekend because my weekend starts early hehe), it was pretty sunny then. It was still a good time, though. On Friday I woke the babies up early and got them…
How to Make a Paper Mache Diamondback Rattlesnake
My 10-year-old came rushing through the door after school a couple weeks ago excited to tell me about his newest school project. The kids in his class each had to choose an animal and create a 3-D figure of it. He already knew what animal he wanted to create and, after a little research on different materials he could use,…
