Icy Towers
January 25, 2009
Originally found HERE , I loved these ice towers. Since we are experiencing frigid weather, we decided to make our very own ice towers.

Add different amounts of water to each container and let your Read more...

January 24, 2009
We really like music in this house and you can find at least one of us - at any given moment - bopping around to some tunes. We always seem to struggle between whether to let mama listen to HER music, or whether to let the silliness reign supreme with goofy kids' music. We've reached a compromise and we alternate our music selections in the house. At 5:00 (or nearly 5:00) everyday, we have a Read more...

We have LOADS of snow ... how about you? While I am usually sick of the white stuff by now, this most recent snow was beautiful. Big flakes and it's ALMOST the perfect snowman building snow!

Let the songs be heard
December 13, 2008
We love music in our house and there is no time better for bringing out new music than the holidays! I am one of those parents though that encourages our kiddos to listen to "adult" music. Music with lyrics that don't include the words boop, peanut butter or "jiggly wiggly biggly higgly" (you get my drift?) Here are our favorite (for this year anyway) soundtracks to set the mood and the spirit: Read more...
