Ethan came up with this project all on his own by arranging his silly bandz behind his paper and doing crayon rubbings! He made it a “puzzle” for Jamie, he wanted her to match up the silly bandz to the ones on his paper. I think Silly Bandz art is a great idea since when [...]
Well I have been wanting to do a freezer paper stencil for awhile now but I just got around to buying the freezer paper last week. Then I needed to decide on something to stencil on some of my boys’ shirts…. I did some googling of “lego guys” and found this flickr picture. Thought it [...]
At least one of my good friends is super afraid of snakes. I just don’t get it. I don’t madly LOVE snakes (don’t want any inside the house) but I think they are really neat and I am so happy we get a bunch in our backyard. This year we keep seeing a cute little [...]
Thanks to Mom Bloggers Club and Sesame Place our family was given tickets to the opening day of Sesame Place’s 30th anniversary season! We have never been to Sesame Place with the kids (and I’m sure its very different from the one time I went as a little kid) so it was a big adventure [...]

I am making a conscious effort to think of ways to be more “GREEN” and in honor of Earth Day I’m planning on incorporating it in the blog this month (reviews of several great eco-products coming soon). When compared to a lot of Americans, I think our family is fairly good but there is definitely [...]
I love our little woods! I have to confess I don’t take the kids back there enough. Its tough with Jillian so little and it makes me nervous to venture too far back without John, but Friday was was gorgeous and the 6 of us plus my father and brother took a little adventure through [...]
Well I am all for a candy free-for-all BUT a little healthy mixed in on Easter is a good thing too! This morning after the excitement of the baskets and the egg hunting and the cinnamon rolls, we made some applesauce bunnies. This is a nice last minute activity that we did thanks to Musselmans.

Ethan is 7 1/2 today, time flies but then again it feels like I’ve known that dimple forever! Baking him a chocolate cake right now.
