What I've Been Wearing



Blue and green are probably one of my favorite color combinations. Since they are an analogous color scheme, they almost always blend well together; without making me feel like I'm dressed like for a holiday or a sports team. 

dress: old navy (similar $38, $19, or $52), lace tank: gift (same), necklace: old,
shoes: thrift (similar $47)


I adore this bright orange skirt but finding something to pair it with can be tricky. I don't feel like I look good in white shirts, I'm too pale. While pairing with black or brown makes me feel like I'm dressing for the fall/halloween. This peach and orange combination was a happy accident; sometimes a pile of clothes on your bed can be a good thing. 

sweater: f21, skirt: hand-me-down (similar $90), sandals: florence street market
necklace: francesca's (similar $33, or $8)


This shirt is another Thread-Up find. The skirt is one I picked up at frock swap a couple years back. This outfit has become one of my summer uniforms. Both the skirt and shirt are easy to move in and provide lots of ventilation - perfect for a mom chasing after kids. 

A bit random but when ever I see/wear green and grey this song by Nickel Creek get's stuck in my head...

He says, "Green is the color everyone see all around me. 
Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur."
The more the crowd cheers, the less I can hear
and they don't really care what I play. It might be for her
But for now it's between green and gray. 

shirt: thread-up, skirt: frock-swap, jacket: target (similar $78), sandals: florence street market

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.
