I don’t know when Dr. Seuss’ birthday became a big week-long event at school, but it did and I love it!  I look forward to it all year.  I love to see what dress-up ideas and activities the teachers are going to come up with. This year we will be leaving on our vacation, so we will be missing the majority of the celebration, but we will be there for the “Dress-up-in-your-favorite-Dr. Seuss-character Day”!  This year we decided to be a red fish and a blue fish from the book “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.”  I crocheted them hats to...

Several years ago, when my first child was born, I was introduced to the concept of consignment events.  If you haven't heard of these, they are (unlike consignment stores) typically quite large semi-annual consignment sales usually held in the spring and in the fall.  The sales are mostly geared towards babies and children and include an awesome array of merchandise.  The merchandise typically includes books, games, DVDs, toys, clothes, shoes, bedding, baby gear, accessories and more.  Anyone can consign for a small fee and earn approximately 70% of the price of their consigned items.  It's where I stock up for the next season's clothing for...

We've had a very excited little girl here for the past few days.  Clark's preschool offered Luci a fully paid scholarship into their Mothers Day Out program for 2 days a week.  Luci had been dying to go to school with her big brother, so I happily accepted, knowing how excited she would be.  She talked about it non-stop, from the moment she awoke.  I would hear her jump out of her bed in the mornings and announce over and over again:  "I'm getting uu-uup!  I'm going to schoo-ool!"  This morning she sang:  "I'm going to schoo-ool!"  while getting dressed...

I have just discovered peg dolls on Pinterest.  I've definitively had my share of Pinterest fails, but this is a win for sure!  As a crafty household, I can say with certainty, that these little pieces of wood have us pegged! Can you just imagine the millions of educational ideas, and hours of sheer entertainment for the kids!  I pinned about one million ideas, found a website that sells the unfinished wooden peg for pennies and immediately bought a box full.   From the moment I got them, the kids went crazy.  After quickly realizing I needed to take control or they...

Maybe I should have seen this one coming.  I should have known better than to promise paints to my preschoolers on the second day of a diet.  But I did and I was awoken by two eager little kiddos this morning, asking:  "Can we paint now?  Can we paint now?"  They wouldn't stop until I grudgingly got up and showered. They horsed down their breakfasts so that they could get their paint aprons on.  Who knew that was so exciting?!  I thought we would start simply and see how it all went, so we began with a couple of favorites,...
