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 so excited to show them this and help them make it together.

 

We Decided On Forever sign made by ThisPhraseofLife on Etsy – Omgosh I am in LOVE with this sign. I pretty much have to have it. After finding this sign I browsed around on her Etsy shop a little and I basically loved every item she sells. Seriously, you should check it out.

Just Another Manic Mom-Day Design Silhouette for Cricut by GalliniDesign on Etsy – When I first pinned this I thought it was going to take me directly to a shirt that I could buy but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually a silhouette to use with a Cricut. That means I can put this saying on anything! How awesome is that?!

Find & Erase Matching Shapes by Jamie at Hands on As We Grow – If you guys saw my post from yesterday (Name and Letter Recognition with Sidewalk Chalk), you know that we like to do learning activities outside. I love this one because it ties learning, sidewalk chalk, and water play together in one activity. My kids love all of the above, but water play is definitely their favorite. It’s supposed to storm this weekend but on the next nice day we have, we will definitely be trying this activity. Oh, and while I was on Jamie’s blog, I signed up to do a 7-day challenge of doing activities with my toddlers. I can’t wait to read the emails and see what it entails!

It’s Fri-yay!! Time to take a look at some of my favorite pins from this past week.

 

Flying School by Life As Mama – I know Peyton and Sylas would have fun with this one. Peyton loves making things from paper, including paper airplanes. He experiments with different ways of making them, trying to figure out how to make them go straighter, faster, or stay in the air longer. Sylas likes to do pretty much whatever Peyton is doing, and has been trying his hand at creating things from paper. He hasn’t succeeded yet, but he sure does like to try. This would be a fun trial and error activity as well as a fun aiming activity. Me or Peyton could help Sylas make a paper airplane that actually works and he could join in on the fun, too. It’s supposed to be rainy all weekend here again so this might just be perfect to try out.

I-Spy Bottle by Because I Said So – How fun is this? It could definitely help curb boredom this summer and I think it could be something to use for a calm-down time. I could make a couple different ones to target my different age groups (toddlers and a 10-year-old). They could also do these together which would be pretty awesome. There are so many possibilities of things you could put in an I-Spy bottle.

Cut and Paste Letters by Playful Learning in the Early Years – I actually kind of love this. I’m all about letters and learning how they can be different sizes, upper case or lower case, and something be written a little differently. I love that this activity allows kids to visually experience how letters can look different, and I feel like it will help with quicker recognition. My littles love to use their scissors to cut things out, too, and we have a stack of magazines just waiting to be cut up.

Threading Station by Busy Toddler – I LOVE quiet time activities. Sylas only sometimes naps and he can get quite noisy even when he’s “trying” to be quiet. Josie sometimes wakes up before the others (when Sylas actually naps), and she also has trouble using her whisper voice or choosing quieter toys. This is perfect and, knowing my littles, this will keep them busy for hours. I can’t wait to set something like this up.

 

What are some of your favorite pins lately?! I’d love to see some links in the comments!

It’s Fri-yay!! Good thing because it’s been A LONG week and I’m exhausted. I wish my husband was home from work already so we could cuddle (AKA, I fall asleep on him). JK because I still have to go shopping for Mother’s Day for my mama. I didn’t realize it was so soon (I know, that’s sad). Oops. Well, while I sit here and drink my third cup of coffee this morning, I’m going to share some of my favorite Pinterest posts of the week with you.

 

Cozy Coupe Town from whatmomslove.com – This is one of many sidewalk chalk play ideas posted on What Moms Love. You have to check them out because they’re pretty awesome! I love this one specifically because I know my kids will have hours of fun with it. There’s a road for them to drive their little car on, a place to stop for snacks, a parking lot, and so much more. Plus, we could add whatever we wanted to our little town to make it more unique and fitting to our life.

Fire! craft from Fumbling Through Parenthood – Sooo cute. I like this one so much. We are going camping this summer and it’ll be my babies’ first time camping so I want to get them excited about it ahead of time. I think this will definitely help get them excited because they love bonfires and we can talk about roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. Ohhhhh, now that I mention s’mores, I may just look for a s’mores craft to go along with this one. I know my babies will also love gathering sticks and bringing them in the house. Mama nevvvveeeerrr lets them do that. 😉

PJ Masks Party Decor – Sylas will be 4 years old on the 26th. Seriously, where has the time gone? We are having his birthday party at a park so I don’t think we will need too many decorations, but I do still want to make it cute and fun. I really like this idea. It’s inspired me to do streamers on three trees that are next to each other – red, blue, and green streamers – with balloons on top. Then, on the middle tree or even draped between trees I’ll hang a banner (I’ll probably make it myself) that says “Happy Birthday Sylas!”. Then I’ll just print out some PJ Masks characters and tape them all over the place in the party area. I think he’ll love it and I’m going to keep trying to come up with some cute ideas for it.

From Julie O’Neill Photography – On the topic of Sylas’ 4th birthday … this is ADORABLE. I’m definitely going to try and recreate this and it seems simple enough, right?! I highly doubt my photo will turn out as beautiful as Julie O’Neill’s but I’m going to try my best. I’ll share it with you guys when it happens. 😉

 

Alright, I hear my tiniest little monster thrashing around in his crib so that’s it for today! What are some of your favorite pins right now?! I’d love to check them out!

I am absolutely in love with this idea and every bit of it is inexpensive. Looking at the picture, I wasn’t sure what she used to make the lily pads and I worried about that part but reading her post answered all of my questions. The supplies are already on my shopping list for this weekend. I’m excited and I know Peyton, Sylas, and JoJo will be, too.

This shirt is so perfect. It’s cute, true, and right up my alley. Adding it to my Mother’s Day wish list. 😉

 

How cool is this? So easy, very little prep, and hardly any cleanup. No clean up at all if your kids take care of it all. 😉 We are working on letters like crazy lately so I’m always looking for new ideas. I plan on doing this on our sliding back door while I prepare and cook dinner tonight. I think it would also work for practicing name recognition and numbers, too.

I’m all about cute outfits, I just can’t put them together myself. I’m not even kidding. I used to be fashionable – before babies. Now I’m so far out of the loop that I don’t even know what’s in style or what looks good together. I either have to take Nevaeh shopping with me or I have to have Pinterest open while I shop. I am good at using Pinterest to guide me in the right direction at TJ Max. 😉 What do you all think of this outfit?

That’s it for today!! Share some of your favorite pins with me in the comments!

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.

From MamaSaysSigns on Etsy

I am so in love with this sign. I’m adding it to my wishlist so maybe my husband will buy it for me for Mother’s Day. The message is such a good reminder for parents who are stressed out and at their wits end with the littles. When we are frustrated and feeling like the day will never end, it’s always good to remember that the day will end, and that’s another day gone. Another day where our babies grew a little too much, and another day closer to our littles being big kids.

How cute is this, right?! We actually created some of these for breakfast today. Sylas and Josie couldn’t stop laughing and holding these in front of their faces, making bear sounds. Who says breakfast can’t be fun?

From Stitchfix

I love the simplicity of this outfit, while it is still so cute. It would be perfect for spring or summer and looks comfortable enough to be able to chase after toddlers while wearing it.

DIY Birdhouse – This one is definitely my number one favorite find of the week. It is the perfect craft for spring and I know my kids will have so much fun making it. Plus, feeding the birds will be something we can enjoy doing together for as long as these feeders last. I am sooo excited to help my littles create these birdhouses.
