I love to cook and since I am a stay at home mom I figure I have no excuses not to make my own baby food. I did make a little with Jillian but I worked way too much to keep it up. Yesterday, Jillian and I made some sweet peas and the following teething … Continue reading

Bubble Bath Finger Paints
The other day I was cleaning up the bathroom and found some old bath paints that we had bought for the Princess. I ended up throwing the ones I found away because they were really old but that gave me an idea – I could make my own! I Googled: How to make Bath Paint … Continue reading
Another Rainy Day…
How do you entertain a 4 year old on a rainy day? Make a volcano of course! We made a mini volcano and she loved it! I wish I could take full credit for this but I can’t, my new Family Fun Magazine had how to make mini volcanoes and being that it was rainy … Continue reading

Not just any pinwheels but St. Patrick’s Day pinwheels that any leprechaun would be lucky to own. What you will need to get started:1 piece … Continue reading
