What I’ve Been Wearing


I picked this skirt up, along with half-a-dozen others, at a church rummage sale. It was the last day of the sale so whatever you could fit in a bag was yours for just $2. Hence, why I bought so many skirts. They were all a similar cut (probably an elderly lady cleaning out her closet) but I just couldn't decided on a color/pattern. I've since given half of them away and probably should whittle it down to just one or two but I still can't seem to pick a favorite.

The day I wore this outfit I met up with some other moms at the library. While talking one of the moms pointed out that her toddler daughter dressed herself in a crazy outfit that morning. I looked over and saw she was in a bright sleeveless dress worn over a shirt with colorful tights - I then tried hard not to blush. Seriously though, I enjoyed wearing this outfit - color makes for a happier day.

      Thanks Kristen! Isn't funny how a few years ago mixing patterns seemed like such foreign concept and now it's almost second nature?

      Thanks Ericka! I brought it this past summer and wasn't ready to pack it away with the rest of my summer pieces.

    Some great outfits there. Love the 'granny' skirts. I would have trouble whittling them down too. And the orange dress over the chabray looks awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.

A Little Red Cardboard Barn

We've finished our farm unit and are moving on to a new theme tomorrow - but before we do I wanted share the barn we made. The wooden farm animals came with a beautiful handmade ark that we gave Big Buddy for Christmas a couple years ago.  I would someday love to have a wood barn but it's currently not in the budget. So in the mean time we decided to improvise and make our own.  I stumbled upon this perfectly sized milk box (4 gallons per box) while subbing and thought it would be sturdy enough to handle play. Hubandie and the boys used an x-acto knife and wood glue to build a barn shape. to get the doors to fold out hubandie used an x-acto knife and scored the inside of the cardboard We then painted with a basic primer and outlined a window and a door with painters tape. cardboard is very porous so priming is a must if you want decent coverage Big Buddy however insisted that we add more windows so it...

Preschool Syllabus: Dr. Seuss

Normally I'd do a Dr. Seuss unit in March around his birthday. We had to do one now though because on Saturday Big Buddy and I going on a date to a  Dr. Seuss exhibit . The exhibit is only at the museum until January and I'm afraid if we don't go now we might not get the chance. We are of course reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books. A great advatage to studying Dr. Seuss in November rather than March is that all his books were available at the library. I also found a great children's biography which is perfect for preschoolers. Pebble First Biographies: Dr. Seuss  We've read it a couple times and Big Buddy loves reciting all the facts he's learned WRITING CENTER ADDITIONS big buddy's name in sand paper letters, coloring pages  & mazes from seussville.com skills practiced: fine motor, letter recognition, creativity,  reading comprehension LEARNING "TRAYS" -   I rotate these, setting out about four a day from which the boy...

Jack-O-Lanterns on the Fridge

Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in FamilyFun Magazine  and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap. my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue *i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them   glued (very messily) and ready to cut Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :) Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
