The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners
We are excited to be sharing the book The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners. I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel I shouldn't need to continue to remind my child when to say "thank you" and "please". No, I don't need to remind him every time, but frequently. And, what about manners at the table, or at a friends house? This is a great book to read with your children. We all need a review of what good manners are, and why they are so important.
After we read the book ...
Mother’s Day (Kids) Free Printable
For the past couple years when I think about Mother's Day and what I should post I always come to the same conclusion...I don't want to post a craft to make with the kids because then I have to (get the opportunity to) make it with them. But then they give it right back to me and I am required to act surprised. Not that I am not big surprises, but it just feels strange and not genuine to me.
This year I have created a printable that even mom's can print for their kids and still be at least ...

How to make an easy Hummingbird Feeder for kids
Hummingbirds are so fun to watch. Making your own Hummingbird Feeder is actually a lot easier then I anticipated. It can be done with recycled containers! The next time you or your kids drink anything out of a plastic bottle that has a screw on cap keep it and put it aside for this project. The next time you eat something out of a short squatty plastic container with a lid keep it and put it aside for this project.
Hummingbirds send out scouts at the beginning of May, two weeks before ...
Pancakes For Supper
While at the library my son saw the cover of the book, Pancakes For Supper, and wanted to get it right away. It has a picture of a HUGE stack of pancakes. Pancakes For Supper was a fun book to read. This is a story about a little girl who gets bumped out of her parents' wagon. She flies through the air and lands near a variety of wild animals. Each one threatens to eat her, however, she offers different items of clothing to each of them. For example, she offers her blue coat to the ...
What is the face of your dinner table?
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Barilla, but opinions are my own.
Today we are getting real. A lot of times we do not want others to see what goes on behind our closed doors. But, today we are sharing with you what our table looks like at meal time.
Sometimes we have happy faces.
Sometimes we have angry faces.
Sometimes we have sad faces.
Sometimes we laugh.
Sometimes we fight.
Sometimes someone doesn't want to be talked to.
Sometimes someone doesn't ...

I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie
I'm sure you have all heard of the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. But, have you heard of the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie? When we went to the library to find a couple other books, we ran across this book. I had not heard of this book before, so I was excited to take this home to read it with my son.
I found this great printable to go along with the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. I wanted to do something a little bit different so we ...
How To Make A Spaceship from an Egg
One day while perusing the craft store I discovered a large egg. I thought surely there must be something fun that I can do with this, so I bought it. They come in a few different colors, but I chose the yellow. After some brainstorming I thought what if we made a spaceship. There are many different kinds that have an egg or a dome shape that kids who watch movies are aware of such as Little Einsteins, The Jetsons or Meet The Robinsons.
Today we decided to make a spaceship like the one ...
This Is The Place Heritage Park
I know many of us have visited This Is The Place Heritage Park at one point or another. But, have you visited during Baby Animal Season?! Did you know they had a Baby Animal Season? I didn't until just recently when a friend of mine posted a picture of her son holding a baby chicken. I immediately called, asked where she was, and planned a time when I could take my kids. Baby Animal Season is only April 3 - May 23. Obviously the baby animals won't be as little when you go ...

Once she takes the cookie out of the oven it comes to life and run out of their house. The cookie runs past different animals telling them "you can't ...
