When this shirt didn’t fit, I wasn’t surprised, or upset. BUT… I KNEW that fabric would be great for something! There had to be something that I could use it for, right? When I happened upon this 20 minute ruffle dress tutorial today on Baby Making Machine, I knew that I could turn it into a dress… and […]
We’re all getting over a nasty cold in our house, so we’ve been doing a lot of freezer runs for popsicles. Today, when my son went searching for a popsicle, I jokingly asked if he wanted a “fish popsicle.” My husband had dried anchovies in the freezer for some Korean recipes that he has been […]
Sometimes, I feel like my little family is ALWAYS sick. We try to eat healthy. Lots of fruits and veggies, a lot less processed stuff than we used to… We drink orange juice and whatnot… Heck, my three year old even likes spinach. Seriously! But… such is life. We are home-bodies, most of the time, […]
Potty Training has certainly been a long road in this house. It started with little baby potties and an excited little guy. LONG story shorter, we’ve tried potties, trainers, pull-ups, underwear, different seats, bribery, stickers and lots of praise… We seemed to go from success to diapers over and over. And in the midst, there […]
I am not a fan of bare walls. In fact, I’m a mural fan, myself. My husband? All about resale – i.e. neutral. Hmmm… One day I will get some color on the walls. In the mean time, I try to spruce things up here and there on the cheap. When we first moved into […]
I came across this idea on Money Saving Mom, and HAD to try it! I figured that my one year old would enjoy it and I expected my three year old to be bored quickly. I was mistaken. They BOTH loved it! The photo on the right shows my son with his tongue out. That is […]
I’ve been working on “Busy Bags for my kiddos (1&3), with the goal of intentional, but not necessarily structured, learning. AND… I’ve got a whole LOAD of books that sit on the shelf, being mostly neglected… and I’m hoping that doing some related crafts and activities will get us all more interested in them. Here […]
I was looking up ideas for teaching 3 year olds, this morning. My son is almost 3 1/2 and won’t start Pre-K until next fall… but he’s soaking up so much information. He knows his letters, shapes and colors, and so much more. I don’t wish to force too much structured teaching on him at […]
I don’t find Air Travel very enjoyable. This is mostly because of the airport experience, rather than the airplane experience, but either way… it’s overwhelming. ESPECIALLY with kids! I did a TON of pre-planning, trying to prepare my kids in advance (as much as you can prepare a 1 and a 3 year old) and […]
