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.  Or just as a simple rule: NEVER PROMISE A CRAFT DAY WHEN STARTING A DIET! Today, 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?!  And who knew that I should...

School is out and we are busy playing, creating memories and developing our first Christmas traditions. I grew up in a family rich in traditions, and although they are still important to me, I want to create our own as a new family. Candlefest Christmas was a big deal in my childhood home. My Mom had a gift for making holidays special. On Christmas Eve, we would all work together to create a big feast to celebrate Christmas Eve. Once we had eaten, and my Dad had gathered us all around to read us the Christmas story from the...

We are several days into our Very Rare Winter Wonderland, here in Texas. The weather is freezing and several inches of ice still cover the ground. Here in Texas, it snows or ices so rarely that when it does, there are no resources to manage it. There are a few trucks with sand available for the roads, but at times like this, those are clearly inadequate, so everything literally shuts down. This includes stores, schools, places of business. The roads are eerily empty. Since I work in a hospital, I still have to make...

It appears the meteorologists were correct this time! Yesterday after our walk to the park, temperatures plunged by about 40 degrees within a few hours. There was rain and sleet all evening and all night. We woke up to a very rare winter wonderland! Everything was coated in ice, creating a calm stillness, which I remember from my childhood in the North. Before the kids awoke, I took my camera outside for a few pictures. This all made for a very excited little boy, who has been longing for snow ever since hearing that...
