Earth Day is April 22nd. It is never too soon to start teaching your children about the planet & how to protect it. We have taught our daughter to recycle & the importance of not wasting food, water or electricity. Even her favorite book “The Lorax” teaches her about what can happen if we don’t […]
Easter will be here & then over before we know it. Many homes will be dealing with the aftermath of Easter grass, jelly beans & all of those left-over plastic Easter eggs. I for one love those left-over plastic eggs because there are so many fun things that you can do with them.
My daughter is getting into the Easter spirit. We made some Easter printables a couple of weeks ago & she loved coloring & painting them, especially the eggs. She has been drawing up a storm lately & her main subject has been Easter eggs.

Maybe she inherits this from the poet in me or perhaps she gets it from her love for Dr. Seuss. *This post contains affiliate links* Her favorite Dr. Seuss books over the past couple […]
I have a play dough obsessed child. She loves all things play dough. Last year her birthday party was even, you guessed it, play dough themed. We have tried many different play dough activities, but we have not really ever worked with play dough mats. Since my daughter loves making people, I thought that face […]
Patchwork Quilt Sewing Craft & Activity * This post contains affiliate links for convenience* A few weeks ago, my daughter & I made sew & weave Easter bonnets.
