Yesterday I went from scratchy throat to sore throat/cold status. So my body made me slow down and get some much needed rest. I also needed to do some blogging though and decided I haven’t done a day in pictures in a while. So here it is, my sick day home with my kiddos trying to feel better. Enjoy 🙂

Sewing Practice
I have been sewing a big project lately for Christmas and my two girls keep asking when they can learn to sew. Not willing to give them tiny sharp needles, I came up with a fun and safe alternative. Plastic needles, yarn and my colander!
Rainbow Pasta Fun
I recently did a sensory table my kids were crazy about. I used a leftover half bag of spaghetti and boiled it in small batches in food coloring and water to make a whole rainbow of pasta fun.

Princess Pink Afternoon
Recently the girls and I had a princess pink afternoon full of reading princess books, dressing up in all pink, eating pink snacks and pink sensory play!

Science Experiment Transformed into Art Supplies
My kids and I microwaved a bar of Ivory soap, if you have never seen this done, try it! When microwaved Ivory soap will expand up to six times it’s original size becoming a big soap “cloud.” see the full post and repurpose for the soap here!
Feeling Patriotic
Happy Memorial Day! I decided to post some of my favorite past patriotic crafts that I’ve done with my kids. Also some cute pics of my kids from past Memorial Days and Fourth of Julys. I’m sure we will do something new today (I have a few things in mind) but wanted to share what we’ve done before this morning to maybe inspire some other moms looking for ideas 🙂
Oobleck Fun!
Looking for something fun and new to do with my kids I came across oobleck. Used with the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. This recipe is something my mom used while I was growing up with me and my siblings but called it “pud” or clean mud. I love the way it has been incorporated into the Dr. Seuss book though and decided to do it with the kids for a fun morning project.
