Flower Pot Mosiac

Since we’ve been busy in the garden, planting all of our seeds, and working on our Gardening Lapbook, I realized that we better throw in a little bit of Garden Crafting too! I found this amazing book called “The Christian Kids Gardening Guide” and I just had to order a copy for our homeschool classroom, what better way to start …Read the Rest

Awana Derby Disaster
Life

Awana Derby Disaster

Apparently I’m no good with a hacksaw. OR even with Sandpaper for that matter, because as crafty as I like to think I am: I have no business messing with my Husbands tools. (and visa versa of course….If I caught him digging through my knitting needles, in hopes of making a Winter sweater my eyebrows would raise for sure.) But, …Read the Rest

Bumbo Fever
Life

Bumbo Fever

No, it’s not some sort of rare South American disease that you need a ton of immunization shots for…..it’s the crazed, and heated obsession with all things Bumbo….thus It’s Bumbo Fever Baby! Just for some background…………..I’ve been so busy lately hitting all the second hand stores, and garage sales, that I’ve almost got all of my baby shopping complete, but …Read the Rest

Pioneer Crafts: Yarn Dolls

Last week we rented an amazing video series from our local library, called Pioneer Life for Children. I couldn’t find an Amazon link to share with you, but I did find them for sale at LibraryVideo.com. (Obviously they’re kind of expensive, so be sure and check your library, or even put in a request for them to purchase a set …Read the Rest

Little Boys & Fabric

Since I’ve got a million sewing projects on my plate, I decided to chip away at them by making my little boy some summer shorts. (I’d show you a photo of my sewing station, but I’m too embarassed at all the little piles of unused fabric, sitting there waiting for their time to shine) And since big Sissy got to …Read the Rest

Covered Wagon Craft

We’re moving right along with our Oregon Trail learning adventures! Today we visited the Historical Museum where we got to see an authentic Covered Wagon, and all sort of other Educational goodies. And of course being the pregnant Mommy that I am, I completely forgot that stupid annoying microscopic little SD card that is supposed to go in my camera……you …Read the Rest

You know You’re Pregnant When…..

…You can finish off this entire Tostada salad (shell and all) and not even worry about continuing on to the chips and salsa bar. Seriously, this has been my ultimate “craving” this time around, I just can’t get enough of these, or sour cream for that matter. (Lately, I’ve been know to take scoops of sour cream and just eat …Read the Rest

Bagel Birdfeeders

Since we’ve been busy learning all about our little bird buddies, we decided to add in a little backyard fun to the mix! We snagged this book from the library, and have delved into the wonderful world of backyard birds. There couldn’t be a better time, I think, to be learning about them. Every morning we’ve awoken to the sweet …Read the Rest

Spring Skirts

Spring Skirts

Somehow….(I have know idea how I actually ended up with the extra time)…I’ve managed to make Sissy a couple of Spring skirts she can wear this year. I’ve loved the idea of making clothing for her, ever since I realized that girls dresses and skirts can be somewhat short, and not at all appropriate for her age level. And of …Read the Rest
