The boys and I made some paper snowflakes, what a nostalgic feeling! We put our own modern twist on them though! Here they are proudly displayed in our window, aren't they pretty? Coffee Filter Paper Snowflakes You'll need some coffee filters for this one, for obvious reasons the round ones are best, but I only had the cone shaped ones so I just cut circles out of them, the best part of that though is it makes two circles at a time. You all remember how … [Read more...]

Wonderful Wednesday- Children’s Books

I'm a HUGE fan of children's literature, as an avid reader myself, it is important for me to instill a love of reading into my little guys at a young age. Especially because they are male, not too many grown men I know read and I'll try to keep them reading for as long as possible. We have a pretty good reading library now, but I am always on the look out for new books -the boys usually get a new book for almost every holiday. We also like to make use of our local library to spice … [Read more...]

Does anyone else have a kid that hates to leave places??? because … [Read more...]
Valentine’s Sun Catchers

The boys and I got crafty yesterday morning and made some sun catchers. I had been thinking of our upcoming trip to visit my mother in law who is in the hospital 3 hours away. She's been ill since around late September and just got out of the ICU before Christmas, but she still has a long way to go. I was trying to think of something the boys could make that we could bring her since she misses them a lot and they are not able to visit. She only has one small table and no wall space, so what I … [Read more...]
