April Fools Day and 7 Fun Pranks
Two years ago I introduced Chloe to April Fools Day and pranking. Not mean pranking. Funny pranking. One year we made brownies (Brown Es). And another year we sent the grandparents Doughnut Seeds (Cheerios), which they thought was cute of course. But this year…oh this year I am no longer on Chloe’s prankster team. Nope. I have been […]
Merry Christmas!
Every year this day gets more magical as the kids understand more about Christmas. This year, we spent Christmas in our new house. It was fun to figure out where the tree would go. It was fun to decide how to do the lights outside. But what was super amazing was the comprehension these kids have […]
Christmas Jitters
It’s only 2 days until Christmas and you can feel the excitement in our house. I mean, if you’re super sleepy Scott and me anyway because we were up late wrapping gifts and these kids got up at 5:00 this morning. They are so excited about all the wonderful little parts of Christmas that are […]
O Christmas Tree
When I was a kid, ours was the family who, on the first weekend in December, loaded up in the family car and headed out to the tree farm to find our Christmas tree. We drove for almost an hour and when we got to the farm we trekked hill and down dale until, sometimes […]
I am thankful for…
I am thankful for so many things. So many in fact, that I thought I’d make a list. There are just so many things that I want to note, although I’ll never capture them all.
Earth Week
This was our first year recognizing Earth Day. I checked out some crafts that we could make. But it all seemed pretty silly to me. Because why waste paper and time working on a project when we can be our there cleaning up our environment and learning through experience? Experiential learning is the best way […]
Good Friday ~ Crown of Thorns Bread
Teaching the kids about Easter and Holy Week has always proved to be a challenge for me. But this year we had a lot of fun learning about Easter and all the important moments leading up to it. While the Easter bunny can be a fun idea, I feel that Easter is too important to […]
{Tutorial} Easter Cross
Easter is such a special time and I love having something relevant to add to our front door. My favorite door hanging is this Easter cross made out of sticks! That’s right. Sticks. Which means that the body of this project is entirely free of charge, since most of us have tons of access to […]
April Fools!
Yesterday was April 1st–a day my little ladies love to celebrate. Last year we started playing pranks. My tricksters are learning the art of playing jokes on others without inflicting harm or pain, but still finding someone special to give a little zing. This year was just as fun as last year’s Brown E’s. Check […]
My Funny Valentines
Valentine’s Day began with a bang for us and didn’t fizzle out until bed time. It began with our Valentine exchange, which was very cute. I gave the kids a little gift–silverware. Sounds super boring, right? Well when you have two kids who fight over a spoon at each meal (yes, you heard me right. […]
