Turn a Rainy Day into a Rainbow Day with a smile and a little puddle jumping 🙂

I can’t believe she is a month old already. I posted our birth story on Facebook the week after she was born, but I wanted to post it here, too. Mostly for my own personal journaling reference. I want the girls to have it to look back on some day. If you recently gave birth […]

I am so excited to finally get to use and play with this Quadrilla Marble Set. I had it stored (or hoarded) away for a rainy day….for months now. I had been wanting to get one since seeing it at a toy boutique but Buga wasn’t old enough and it was expensive. I recently found […]

We worked ON Valentine’s Day to create this cute little something to give to Daddy as a present. If we had made it any sooner, it wouldn’t have been a Valentine’s surprise, because Buga can’t keep a secret like that! We started the interview last week for this week’s project and I just love how […]

This is such a simple task….especially for a 3 year old! But I love the idea of hearing her count the hearts as the plunk into the tub. I also like watching her as she unscrews the lid to dump them all out and start over again. This would be a great fine motor skill […]

More Sensory Bin Excitement! Yes, it’s true, we are putting all the “Valentine’s Day” things out. Our house is decorated, our centers are accessible, and Buga is having a wonderful time enjoy the love. I put out this new Sensory Bin and she loves it. It’s all about hearts – and containers / compartments / […]

Part II. I finished the Candy Sorting Activity Center for Buga and she has been enjoying it VERY much. As much as I hate to admit it, if you want her to learn something….turn into into something sweet – literally! She doesn’t get candy, chocolate, cake, cookies very often so she is fascinated with them. […]

I started making “Candy Chocolates” (pretend) for a Valentine’s Day Learning Game for Buga. It is my plan to use these chocolates in a candy box…with the little wrappers…for her to count, sort, and pretend with. She is going to use tongs to pick them up and put them in the box. Each box contains […]

We had an extra day during the week and made the most of it by going to Sesame Place. Recently we passed by it while driving…in the dark….and Buga shouted “Elmo…I see Elmo. And Big Bird!” and all the adults in the car looked at each other…wondering what she could possibly be talking about. When […]

This was by far one of the BEST children’s museums that I’ve ever been to. It came as sort of a surprise, because I didn’t know what to expect. It was my first time in Boston and I knew the children’s museum had a Curious George exhibit so we definitely had to go. Another successful […]
