My kids get out of school on Wednesday and they are SO excited! We love the holidays around my house and I was trying to think of some fun things I can do with the kids while they are out of school; not places to go, but things to do around the home like crafts, […]

My friend Maricar alerted me this morning about the Aqua Dots recall. I also heard about it on the radio while I was dropping my kids off at school. This is very serious and you need to remove them from your home asap and out of your children’s reach.

I’m not sure how we didn’t get mom to get us Shrinky Dinks when we were young, because I remember hearing about them and thinking they sounded like so much fun to do! I believe I was an adult before I actually witnessed the shrinking, curling, melting action of the product. […]

After looking at different lists and posts last week about daytime activities, I thought it would be fun to try sock puppets with the kids. We have all kinds of scraps and bits and pieces to use in a throw-together craft project. And besides, I had a pair of socks that were […]
