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 is a tradition of my side of the family to cut down our Christmas tree for the Holiday. We traipse aimlessly through the rows and rows of trees to find the “perfect” one. Everyone has such different opinions as to which one that is, so there are funny arguments, and freezing fingers along the […]

Unfortunately it was yucky outside that day, so we stayed inside to play….and we came up with a boatload of ways to play with these simple toys. car road […]
