Why Don’t We Do It In Our Sleeves?
A beautiful health video just sent to me by my dear friend Suburban Cow Girl. Get your kids around the computer and enjoy this funny 5 minute video!

“Mommy was a little slow in getting me a snack, so I decided to just help myself.” “Don’t even think about it, doggie… I’m not finished yet.” Ah, the joys of little ones! Marie had been fussing as I was trying to finish cooking supper (don’t they always?) — obviously, she was rather hungry and … [Read more…]
Advent Wreath
Dawn at By Sun and Candlelight had a wonderful craft (as she always does) for the Advent season — making an Advent wreath. I absolutely loved the idea, so I made the trek to my local craft store and got some supplies — a wooden circle, a package of wooden stars, some glass tea light … [Read more…]
