Do you know your states?

I really wanted to do some educational things with Jillian this summer. So I drew a blank map of the U.S. on poster board and Jillian and I are working our way through the United States alphabetically. We are on the letter “N” it is really neat to see her learn the states and where … Continue reading →

Butterflies…

Well today it hit 90 once again which means it rains every afternoon. Today I took the kids out to our little kiddie pool (very little kiddie pool) and let them play for a while. Jillian started talking about how she wants to study bugs, well mostly butterflies when she grows up. I thought that … Continue reading →

Felt Doctor’s Kit

So this is still in the baby stage but Jillian really loves to play doctor and does not have a Doctor’s Kit, so I have decided to make one. I did look on Etsy for some ideas then I just decided to wing it and make my own (I have a ton of felt.) I … Continue reading →

Children’s Treasures

So I had this idea this morning when I was in the garage working on a metal brooch. For Mother’s Day I had Jillian make a pendant out of clay for both grandmas. Well I decided to take it and create the pendant out of silver and attach it to a personalized pendant that says … Continue reading →

Homemade Black Bean Burgers

Fairy House

Saturday was the Fairy House building at Oatland Island. Jillian had a blast, I also had fun! It was the first year they did this so the age groups were quite large 0-7, 8-13, and 14 + and they only had 1 prize for first place. I think they should have had ribbons for all … Continue reading →

Happy Easter…

The Easter Bunny made his stop last night and left footprints behind. I wanted Easter to be memorable for Jillian especially since she hasn’t been feeling good (a bad sinus infection.) I had an idea to make bunny prints (Baking Soda and a stencil) in front of Jillian’s basket and in front of her door. … Continue reading →

Easter Pictures

Well today we went and saw the Easter Bunny still creepy as always, but the kids really liked it. Booga is wearing the outfit Jeff wore when he was 6 months old. I also love the fact that my daughter and the Booga are making the same exact face. I am a little disappointed in … Continue reading →
