Next year, I’ll get him Lego for Father’s Day…

Next year, i think I’ll just get Bald Man a new Lego set for Father’s Day. I think his favorite part of the whole day was a bit of the time we spent at his parent’s house. His parents have just moved back in town and had come across the Lego collection that […]

Alphabet Cookie Cutters

My kids love getting cookie cutter sets as gifts. In the past, we’ve received an animal set, a flower set, a sports set and of course the Christmas cookie set. A few weeks ago, my youngest received the 50-piece Wilton cookie cutter set that includes the entire alphabet, all of the numbers, and […]

Free Lego Magazine Subscription

Did you know that Lego has a magazine? I didn’t, but I’m looking forward to seeing copies of it. However, not nearly as excited as Bald Man, I’m sure, being that he is, in fact, a Legomaniac. Anyway, head on over and you, too, can get signed up for your free 2 […]

Saga of the Suncatchers

You were laughing at me, weren’t you? I mentioned that I was all nostalgic for the suncatchers of my youth with all of the little colored crystals that melted in the oven, and you just laughed at me, didn’t you? ;)
So, we finally made the suncatchers that the kids received in their Easter baskets. […]

P is for Pretzel: Part Two

Randa of Free Stuff 4 Kids asked about the recipe that I used for the alphabet/shapes/blob pretzels, so I thought I’d share a couple of them out here for all of you. (Thanks for your patience, Randa!)

P is for Pretzel

The kids and I took some time out today to make pretzels. Not just any pretzels, oh no. We did some very special letter shaped pretzels. The plan was an entire pretzel alphabet. Oh yeah.
Well, we didn’t quite get the whole alphabet, but we did get a few letters in […]

Earth Day Activities for Kids

My daughter is so excited about Earth Day! She saw the day listed on her calendar a few weeks back (it’s Sunday, April 22nd), and has been talking non-stop about how we’re going to clean up trash in the park near our house in honor of Earth Day.
We may even have to check out […]
