Freezer Crock Pot Cooking Day
Welcome Pinners!!! First I have to say: WOW! I am totally shocked at the response to this post! I’ve had a lot of people ask about the shopping list I used. Here it is! This includes all the things I wouldn’t normally have in my pantry. Things like salt and other spices I didn’t include…

Walkin’ – Almost
Riley has been cruising so much lately! He’s pulling up on everything and walking when he can hold on to the couch table or a walking toy!

DIY Cardboard Ball Game
When we moved into the “new house” (Landon still calls it this) we had to buy a new refrigerator. Luckily Brad programms for Build.com and we get massive discounts on stuff… like refrigerators! When it was delivered one of the doors had a dent in it so a new one was shipped. The result was a box…

Shape coloring (Free Printable!)
Today Landon and I were working on another page for his ABC Book. When we were done he wanted to just color and draw, that turned into cutting out the shapes we were drawing, then when I was coloring I had one of the scraps of paper underneath the one I was coloring on and…

Everyday Life – Mom’s Group and Fountains
A few weeks back I joined a mom’s group in Chico called the Chico Mother’s Club. I love being able to connect with other adults in the same life phase as me. It’s also great to be able to have playdates with other kids Landon’s age without playing the “lottery” of who will be at…

ABC Book (Free Printable!)
Today we started working on an ABC book that I created for my classroom way back. I think it’s funny that he’s working on the things I work with my kinders on at the beginning of the year. There’s a part of me that really don’t want him to work on any more Pre-K stuff…
