Trending Post: Fall Crafts Round-Up
Ah, the classic fish craft. If you’ve ever gone looking for a fish craft, you have probably come across this one a million times. I decided to spruce this one up with a fun painting technique called bubble painting. This technique is one I’ve also come across a lot lately, with varying instructions. My favorite…
After doing a bit of grocery shopping this evening, we all piled back into the car and took a ride downtown to see the lights and map out a future trip Lorelai and I will be taking. I took my camera with me and snapped a bunch of pictures. City lights are the best, and…
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! Thanks Friday 5! What’s the best thing about being awake when the rest of the world seems to be sleeping? The quiet and being able to think without distraction. Where can you go when you get a case of the late-night munchies? My kitchen, I…
We have all been enjoying the valentine animals that Lore has crafted. We have them displayed on the book shelves, on the fridge, etc. I saw something similar to this craft on the Disney website and decided to make my own version of it into a printable. Lore was happy that she got to do…
Since tomorrow is Groundhog Day, I decided to do a craft and activity with Lorelai to acknowledge it. Not a big deal, this holiday, but it was always fun as a kid for me and I want to pass that on. We went with a groundhog headband for the craft and a shadow outline for…
I don’t talk about Lorelai’s “achievements” as often as I like. I mean, I do mention things here and there, but I keep my lips zipped more often than not because I don’t want to come off as bragging. But you know what? If she does something awesome, it should be acknowledged, so let me…
I’m really loving the fall weather right now. It was in the low 70’s today and perfect. Lorelai spent at least 3 hours this morning on the patio playing in her sandbox. Her imagination really has kicked up a notch really. She was “baking” today. She made pies and cupcakes. She would actually fill one…
Butterbeer. The famous drink featured in the Harry Potter book series. Two words: Liquid. Candy. At least with this recipe, it is sweetness overload. I (who, in general, likes sweet stuff) could only take 2 sips. When measuring out the butterscotch, I became skeptical. That syrup is sooo sweet, and that 1/2 cup measuring cup…
Ingredients: Box of spice cake & a can of Pumpkin Puree. That’s it, seriously. Mix together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Once ingredients are semi-mixed, mix with electric mixture until batter is smooth. Cook at 350 for 18-20 minutes! These smell and look soooooo good! I was out of paper cups, so…
Last night in a last ditch attempt to keep Lore occupied so that M and I could get some stuff done, we pulled out the block box from the closet. She played by herself for a good 20 minutes and then was begging M to go build a tower with her. He went over, sat…
