Do your children love helping you in the kitchen? My little Piggies can’t get enough of the measuring cups, spoons, funnels, and their favorite has to be the wire whisk. Sometimes I welcome their help, while other times, I just need to get it done without taking 10 minutes to measure and count 5 Cups […]
Pumpkin Patch Cheat

It feels like forever since I’ve posted. It’s that time of year when the Kleenex are flying, and the Zyrtec is flowing. In my last post about Peanut Butter Pumpkins, I told you about ditching the pumpkin patch for a farmer’s market. With all the colds going around, and the boys (i.e. Momma) not feeling […]

We’ve been getting ready for Fall in our house. Today was our day to go to pick out pumpkins. We had originally planned to visit a local Fall fun place called CornDawgs. They have corn mazes, pumpkin patches, a petting zoo, a corn kernel pit, etc. You know, the kind of place that gives your […]
Tower of Power

A few years ago, after nearly having heart attack #857 due to watching oldest Piggy almost flip out of a chair while standing at the island helping me cook, I decided to try to find something a little more child friendly. My original thought was to buy one of those old metal stools with the […]

Yesterday I gave you Mickey Mouse money labels for your little tots when they have to send money to school. I promised you I would make some for the older kids, and I kept to my word. Originally I thought I would do two sets – One for the upper elementary boys and girls, and […]
Mickey Mouse Money Notes

After yesterday’s post about Notes to School, I had a special request from a teacher of one of the Piggy’s to also post the money notes we use. These are definitely geared toward primary children. Both of my Piggies are huge Mickey Mouse fans. Everything in our house is either Mickey or trains. For these […]

It is almost Friday! If your week has been like mine, you’re on your second bottle of wine or box of chocolate (whatever your vice of choice), doing a happy dance, or all three! Today’s post comes at just the right time. Piggy Two has been cutting his 2 year molars, has a bucket of […]
Toddler and Family Rules

Hello again! I hope you guys have had a great week. We have had family in town and I’ve been a slacker! Most of our family lives far away, so we stop what we are doing when they come for a visit. My husband’s family is from Colorado which means a plane trip for them […]
ABC Chalkboard Bible Memory Verses

This was our second week of homeschool, and I knew right away that I had picked the wrong bible verses for us to use with our “Letter a Week” program. A lot of the things I use with the boys comes from my own alphabet files that have been around for 20 years. I also […]
Two Week Meal Planners

As you can guess by now, I am a planner. I love lists, calendars, folders in folders, and binders. I love basically anything that will keep my life organized. A few months ago I found some meal planners that I loved at first sight over at Sew Much Crafting. I loved everything about these. […]
