The boys set to work making Grandma a Mother's Day gift last week. Middle Man really enjoyed painting a clay pot, it's the most he has ever liked painting, so I'm guessing he is more into 3D objects than paper. It turned out really nice for a 1 year old! When it dried we headed out to the garden to dig up some dwarf iris'. By the time we got to Grandma's there were 4 flowers blooming. Good Job Middle Man! Big Brother on the other hand found this fossil-ish looking shell in the garage and … [Read more...]

Can your walls talk??? Mine can. I had been looking for something to decorate the walls in our boy's new play area in our basement, ever since the renovations were finishing up in January. Wall Talk's vinyl wall decals really caught my eye and seemed like the perfect fit for the space! With 3 rowdy boys, I like that this type of wall decoration can never fall down or break. Wall Talk has lots of categories to help point you in the right direction. We chose from the 'Not Just For Guys' section. … [Read more...]

Green Beaver Jr. Review

It just sounds Canadian doesn't it?? You bet! Green Beaver is a Canadian company out of Hawkesbury, Ontario and Green Beaver Jr. is their product line for kids. Did you know that many chemical ingredients in personal care products can be absorbed through our skin and enter our bodies?? And children have a greater surface-area-to-body weight-ratio than adults do, which puts them even more at risk of absorbing chemicals. Green Beaver Jr. is a certified organic … [Read more...]

The boys and I where away for a few days while we took a little road trip to visit their Grandma and Papa. We decided to make it an early Mother's Day celebration. The boys spent the week painting pots and shells and digging up plants for Grandma's gift and we made her a pretty awesome cake if I do say so myself. I'll post all about our activities next week. The travel was long, but we made it. We were able to visit with my brother and sister in law and pass on our treasured baby items. Sister … [Read more...]
