Last week we discussed the different types of seeds in science with my girls. I always try to find ways to include my two year old son in our lessons as well. I used nail polish in different colors to paint acorns and then the inside of their caps to match. Continue reading “Matching Acorns”
Now that fall is in full swing I really enjoy warm homemade soup on a chilly day. One of our family’s favorites is cheesy chicken enchilada soup with fresh homemade tortillas to dip in it like crackers or bread. All of us finish our entire bowls, even my picky eaters usually go for seconds!
I have seen the cute felt Christmas trees all over Pinterest. They hang on a wall and have felt ornaments for kids to decorate and play with. Well in our home, we focus on the nativity and the true reason behind why we celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus. So I decided to do my own version of a felt wall toy for my children. I thought I would share it now since many people are already looking forward to/preparing for Christmas.
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!
Noah has been enjoying water painting today and I had forgotten just how much fun this is for a two year old! The girls love it still too, and it is so simple to do. All you need is a chalkboard, chalk, water in a cup and a paint brush. Continue reading “Water Painting”
I have recently come across many detox bath ideas and all of the healing benefits they can offer. I decided to try some of the ingredients I had on hand from a few I have seen. I decided even if it doesn’t help me, no harm done and I got 40 minutes of relax time which is a rare treat for me as a stay at home mom.
Needing to make a cake for my friend, I stumbled on to a yummy moist pumpkin pie cake recipe I’m in love with! So of course I’m sharing 🙂 Since her birthday is near Halloween I decided I wanted to make a pumpkin cake of some type. I used what I had on hand, only four ingredients!
The chocolate chip cookie. Most mom’s I know have their favorite recipe for them and make them often and well. Not me 😦 I have literally attempted at least twenty different recipes and most of them taste so bad no one will eat them. They are either flat and hard, too cake-like and fluffy, falling apart, too salty, too gooey, too bland, too crunchy or just terrible all around. The seemingly simple chocolate chip cookie is my personal domestic kryptonite.
