Easy Christmas Craft for the Kids

If you’re like me, you’re looking for cute and easy projects for the kids.  For this one, I bought some of the shatterproof bulb ornaments.  I painted the kid’s fingertip with white paint to make a snowman and the snow.  Then I used a fine tip paint brush to add the eyes, nose, and buttons.  […]

Homemade play dough

I am sure you enjoy  play time with your kids.  I know I do, I just don’t take the time to do it enough.  But when I do, I like to put cling wrap on the table or paper towels taped together on the floor to let Turkey Butt play with her play dough.  Here […]

Children’s Thanksgiving Activities

 

1st turkey - I know this one looks a little funny, but it was done by my daughter when she was only 16 months old.  We made our own patterns for this one.  We just drew the turkey body, cut out some feathers, and that little red gobbler thing under the turkey’s chin.  What is […]

Are you smarter than a preschooler?

I recently got an email asking me if I was smarter than a preschooler. It was confirmed that I wasn’t. Let’s see how you do.
Which way is the school bus traveling?

Look carefully at the picture if you are having a hard time.

Free entertainment for kids

I have to tell you about my daughter, Turkey Butt!  She cracks me up.  I might not be the best parent but I let her on my computer to get stuff done around the house when my son, Little Man, is happy.  She goes to Noggin and Nick Jr. and plays the games adn colors […]

Infant potty training can be very frugal

My mom has been telling me about all the publicity surrounding infant potty training.  I read the articles and am intrigued.  I do, however, think it only works when you are able to stay home full time.  I can’t imagine a single babysitter, even my perfect one, that will be willing to let your infant […]
