Anyone else have the winter blues? We're dying here in Massachusetts. It's snowing here pretty much everyday and every storm that comes drops 18 inches at a time. Sawyer is starting to get bored with some toys and I've been looking for ideas to grab his attention, this pirate playdough recipe was it! It's been a long time since I made my own playdough but thought I'd give it a try again but … [Read more...]

By 75 Comments
I love thinking back to when I was a first time mom. I love remembering how I felt and how nervous but also excited I was to be a mom. After we had first brought Hayden home from the hospital I remember laying in bed next to him just listening to him breathe. I was instantly head over heels in love with that tiny little boy. If I thought I heard him make a weird gurgle, squeak, or even worse NO … [Read more...]

Once you start educating yourself on what is really on your plate (or your kids plate!) it's hard to unlearn some things and you realize you … [Read more...]

Gavin has been dying to make crayons lately. We usually make Christmas shaped crayons and even though we made loads of crafts this year it just didn't happen.

We could even get ahead of the game and use them with our classroom valentine's by making heart shaped crayons. I went on … [Read more...]
