Although the first day of Summer was actually just this past weekend, I’m pretty sure most of us have considered it the summer season for a few weeks now. In a previous post I explained that I made a Summer Bucket List for the kids and I to work on this year. Anytime we are bored or don’t know what to do, I refer to the list for an activity! And over the past few weeks, we’ve been slowly checking stuff off the list! It feels good to see what we are accomplishing! Which brings me to last week. It was … Continue reading →

10 Activities and Crafts Using Clothespins - Love these ideas! Perfect for Toddlers & Preschoolers!

If you have kids, I would definitely recommend you keep some clothespins on hand. “Why clothespins?” you may ask. First, there are so many fun activities and crafts using clothespins. Second, they are great for developing fine motor skills! With so many different activities and crafts using clothespins, having them on hand is a great way to keep kiddos occupied for a good chunk of time. Consider pulling them out when you’re making dinner, cleaning, or just need a little time for yourself!

The moms from A Lavender Life, Jenerally … Continue reading →

Acts of Kindness with Toddlers - Rock Messages - Such a cute and easy idea! www.MePlus3Today.com

I have always been passionate about helping others. It was something both Chaz and I enjoyed. We never specifically planned our Acts of Kindness, but we just tried to always be kind. We would always try to give a little bit to service projects, charities and fundraisers that we heard about, or just give our time to friends, family, and even strangers! I can remember a time before we had kids, when Chaz walked in the door after work a few minutes late. He was just coming in to let me know that he was grabbing a giant flashlight and … Continue reading →

It’s crazy to think about, but Will is going to be turning 1 next week! I can’t believe it! It’s with mixed emotions that I am celebrating his first birthday. I actually think I am having just as hard of a time with this as I did with Christmas. I actually started talking about his approaching birthday in therapy about a month ago! I’ve been “dreading” it since then! It is so incredibly … Continue reading →
