Hungry Hungry Caterpillar Read Along Beads
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
Air Travel with Babies and Toddlers
I was almost 21 by the time I flew for the first time. Honestly, I thought I’d die in the state I was born in. For that matter, in the same city. I had never been out except on a family camping trip or a field trip and I didn’t feel as though I was
Travel Pillows! WIN!!!
My kids already had “travel” pillows that I had made for them a year or so ago. They were long and skinny, and had handles on each end. They served us well. As we prepared to travel, my son brought his to me and told me that he didn’t like it anymore. He asked me,
Baby Doll Leash… CREEPY!
Just as I don’t like travel pillows and sippees dragging on the floor in an airport (or anywhere, for that matter,) I also don’t like baby dolls dragging on the floor either. I cut ribbon as long as I thought the doll should fall from their seatbelts … plus 4 inches longer on each end.
Denim Travel Shoes – Tutorial Link
The part I dread most about air travel is going through security. I’m excited that both of my kids can walk and follow basic instructions at this point, but taking off all of our shoes and whatnot turns into quite a chore… and then there is the re-dressing of everyone. Sheesh! I started thinking about
Nostalgia! Let’s Go to the Zoo
Have you ever been going along with life and then something triggered a memory? Well, when this book arrived in a package from my folks, I had one of those moments. Okay, it wasn’t A memory… this book was part of my childhood. I happen to think it might be one of THE best children’s
Crayons Children’s Resale
Saving money, and still having loads of fun, is one of the challenges of any parent, and as a stay-at-home mom, it’s a big deal! There is one place in Houston that I’m hooked on, and have been since we moved here a few years ago…. This lovely lady is “Miss Gail.” She runs the
Dinosaur Tails!
I kept seeing these on Pinterest. I kept thinking, gee, they look really cute. I kept wondering if my kids would like them. No… I knew they would, or at least that my son would. And it was on the “One day, when my kids nap and play nicely like the angels I know they
So Many Seats!
We had an awesome baby bath when my little girl was very very little. It was small enough to fit on our master bath’s counter and large enough for her to grow with. Eventually, I would have it beside her brother’s bath and I could tend to them both. It served us well. The stepstool is still
Only if You Close Your Eyes
I was laying in my bed, a few nights ago, highly alert. I am the family watchdog, you see. Hubby is a heavy sleeper and although we do have two pups who’d likely warn me if a stray ant came in, it is the happenings of our little ones that I’m am so focused on.
