I’m a sucker for handprint artwork. I love looking back on the tiny little handprints made into some cute design. My kids have been interested in frogs lately, so we made handprint frogs! They painted their own hand green. I let them do this part themselves because let’s face it, kids love to paint themselves so why not let them…
Peyton asked if we could make oobleck and while I wanted to say no, how can I deny him a little messy fun?! Plus, it’s so easy and the perfect activity for a rainy day… or so I thought. The joke was on me. IT IS SO MESSY. But, so much fun. The next time we make it will be…
When springtime comes, so do the bugs!! We have been seeing bugs everywhere outside, and inside our house, we are seeing ants. UGH. I know, I know, ants are harmless. I still don’t want them in my house. Chris will DEFINITELY be spraying that bug killer/repellant stuff around the house this weekend because JoJo and I are sooooo over the…
So, before I began meal planning, we would have nothing in the house for dinner. I’m not even kidding. Chris or I would be running to the store on our lunch breaks or after work to pick up something quick to cook. Since this is how we did it, we rarely had anything new and exciting for dinner. We were…
It’s Friday!!! That means I’m here to share some of my favorite pins that I came across this past week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Just click on the images and you’ll be taken directly to the website these pins came from. I am so in love with this sign. I’m adding it to my…
I’ll be the first to admit that my kids love YouTube. From watching other kids play with toys to practicing Spy Ninja skills, my kids are obsessed. While I don’t always love the things they watch, I’m pretty open to letting them watch whatever they enjoy, as long as it’s age-appropriate. I also require that they watch at least some…
If we were on a coffee date I would tell you how my kids were using Cheetos as “dinosaurs” during snack time. Complete with “rawrs” and dinosaur attacks. I would tell you that I let them, even though they aren’t supposed to play with their food, because sometimes it’s easier that way and sometimes mama is a softy. If we…
If your kids are anything like my kids, they will love this method of learning to write letters. With two kids in the house who are learning letters, I am always looking for new ways to teach them. Pencil and paper do the trick, but I want them to be inspired by new ways, as well. My kids love play…
One day, my kids won’t want me around all the time. They won’t want me to go with them to school, or to join them on playdates with friends. They won’t want me running around at the park and going down slides with them. They won’t even always come to me when they are hurt or sad. Someday, life will…
We love to do crafts, and, on a whim, decided we wanted to use our surplus of toilet paper rolls. The race car craft for kids was perfect for my boys, and they were able to do most of it theirselves. We used supplies we had on hand, so it was a perfect last-minute idea. *this post contains affiliate links*…
