Ball Themed Birthday Party
Riley turned 1 – in case you didn’t catch the last post about it {here}. He loves balls. He’s pretty much obsessed with them. When he first learned to crawl he would chase balls around the house bat at it, crawl after it then bat it again to go chase it some more. It’s a…

Happy Birthday Riley
One year ago today Riley came into our lives. It has been such a crazy year with job changes for both Brad and I and moving. It’s funny how they say the time with the second goes by so fast. It has. Really fast. Life with the 3 year old and 1 year old is…

10 Apples Up On Top Project
This is a cute 10 Apples Up on Top project I pulled from my files as a Kindergarten teacher. The kids LOVED this activity. Not only is the story a cute one this project allows children to practice counting, number writing, and number sequencing. Landon had fun with this too – so it’s totally modifiable…

Glow in the dark bath
Last night, I was a cool mom. At least for bath time. My “coolness” ended when it was time to actually go to bed, but bath time was awesome. How? Dollar store glow sticks in the bath and turn off the lights. Perfect!

Apple Prints
Today we cut open some apples and used them to paint! One of my fond memories from early elementary school was cutting an apple horizontally and seeing the “star”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you HAVE to do this. Apple Prints Apples Red, Yellow, Green Paint Paper Take 2 apples. Cut one…
