Panda Face Food Art
My Little Chefs have always loved playing with their food. When they go through periods of not wanting lunch we change it up to make it seem different. We might use a lunch tray instead of a plate, deconstruct their sandwich, put things on a stick, anything out of the ordinary. We do the same for afternoon snacks when everyone gets home because it is fun, they are always hungry at that time. I thought it would be fun to make an after school snack using one of our favorite play foods, ...

School has been in for a month now, because we are on year round school. It seems like we are always worried about school clothes for one reason or another. With 5 kids I have plenty of shirts that look nice except for that stain on the front right where everyone can see it. I hate to get rid of a shirt like this so I let my kids ...

We are excited to bring you a couple new holiday easy crafts this week. My son is out of school until he starts Kindergarten in Sepetember, so doing crafts is always a joy for us. It is a great time to sit down with him and spend some one on one time. Having a little sister now, he doesn't get as much time with me as he used to.
I remember doing paper weave crafts when I was younger, and thought this would be fun do with with my son. This is something we haven't done before, so ...

Our Flag – 4th of July
Flag Day is on June 14th so I wanted to read a book with my son about flags and the importance of Our Flag. I found a Little Golden Book by Carl Memling titled Our Flag. This is a great book that gives history on the changes of the flags of the USA. I find this book a great one for kids of all different ages. The pictures are bright and colorful. The text is simple and easy to follow. The explanations on each page are brief, but are still able to tell a lot about the history of ...
Ghost Falls Trail
The weather is warming up here and we have been anxious to start hiking. This is something we enjoy doing. My girls like discovering new things and as parents we like getting our kids active. At the beginning of the summer we take a few smaller hikes and then extend the distance as the summer progresses. Ghost Falls Trail has two trail heads. We took the longer trail which is about 3 miles round trip. It took us 2 hours round trip to complete this hike. My 3 year old walked all but 10 minutes! ...
The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart
When I was pregnant with our daughter, I had a friend give me the book The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart. Right away I was caught up in the illustrations by Christine Davenier. When I got home that night I had to read this book. It is a longer story which would be great for the older ages. My daughter, who is now 1, will not sit through the entire reading of this book. Along with the length, the language is a little harder to understand for the younger ages. Gerry, "The ...

Father’s Day Gum Wrapper
I have already told you my girls LOVE planning for holiday's. The day after Mother's Day they started planning an easy craft for Father's Day! One thing they all decided is that Dad likes gum. He always has a pack in his car, on his dresser and in his church bag. My three year old now shares the love of gum (much to my dismay) and knows where to search to get a piece when she wants one. Dad doesn't like this so he tries to remember to hide his gum.
In honor of our Dad who loves gum I have ...
Llama Llama and the Bully Goat
We have all heard a lot about bullying and the effects it has on children and adults. I wanted to find a book that would reinforce what bullying is, and what role we play in bullying. That's when I found the book Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. I loved the illustrations in this book along with the great lesson it gives. It is about a llama and his day at school with a bully who is a goat. It talks about what to do when someone is bullying you or a friend, and how the teacher ...
