Sock Puppets
Landon has been full fledged into imaginary play (remember the cardboard car that he’s STILL playing with?). So yesterday we made some sock puppets for us to have a puppet show with and fuel his imagination. This is a SUPER easy and potentially free sock puppet. Nothing fancy here, just literally a sock that sort…

New Site!
So you may notice there’s been some changes! I started this blog only a few months ago and have already hit about 850 page views a month! I know that’s not a ton for the “big” blogs, but it’s a huge start for a 3 month old blog (I think). My husband (a web programmer)…

Homemade Puffy Paint
I asked Landon if he wanted to do a project this morning, already having something in mind. He enthusiasticly said “Yes, I want to make a cloud!” I’m all for doing the things he wants to do. I’ve done a project in the classroom before with a mixture of shaving cream and glue to make…

Cloth Diapering Basics
I have had so many people ask me about cloth diapers and have “converted” so many to cloth diapering after talking with them and showing them how easy it can be. I just recently spent the morning with a new friend who is pregnant with her second child and is considering cloth diapering. I figure…

Cardboard Car
Want to know what a few hours of time, some paper plates and paint, a cardboard box and some duct tape can create? We spent Monday morning painting gluing and cutting to make Landon a car out of a cardboard box. It was really all his idea. We still had a few boxes laying around…

Hallway Bowling
A few weeks ago Landon tried out bowling at a bowling ally with a new friend we made. They had a blast – for about 6 frames. We didn’t even finish a game – their attention span was just too short – but they really had fun for the time they were there! Landon keeps…

Oats and ‘Nanner Drops
We’ve been introducing new foods to Riley very slowly. With the family history of allergies and his already found sensitivity to dairy through my breastmilk, AND his eczema, his pediatrician and Landon’s allergy doctor want us to just go slow with food, especially the top allergic foods. For the longest time (it seems) we’ve just been doing single food…

Things Kids Say
Snuggling with Landon tonight before he went to sleep I gave him a kiss and said, “I love you, I’m so glad you’re my son” Landon looked up at me and in a sweet but serious voice said, “I’m not your son. I’m Landon.” “Ok” I said, “I”m glad you’re my Landon”. He nodded with…

Car Painting
I got this idea to do marble painting. I’ve done tons of marble painting in the classroom with my kindergartners it’s a fun different way to paint. Then it dawned on me – all my marbles that I used for painting I left behind in my classroom. So I thought of another way I’ve painted before,…
