The bird and I made adorable and tasty, springy, Easter treats yesterday. They are just rice krispy treats made with chow mien noodles instead of rice krispies. Actually, they seemed too sticky and marshmallowy (because i added too many marshmallows) so I did add some rice kripsies to the mix too - to even out the crunchy to gooey ratio. I like how they turned out. I put them in the mini ... read more
living history day
It was Living History Day at a local elementary school in our district. They invited my grandpa to come and teach the kids about Native American dancing. So, I took the kids to check it all out. It was a lot of fun. I LOVE working part time so I can do stuff like this. It was so great to see grandpa! The petting zoo was adorable. There was a brand new tiny baby goat! Fun day. Tired kids.Oooo - ... read more

She really enjoyed our Christmas advent calendar, so I thought this was perfect. I really like that ... read more

celery
I did make the hobby horse out of an old sock that had I mentioned I wanted to try out in this post. It worked beautifully! As of this moment, I am a "no-sew" crafter (I do hope to remedy that soon and learn how to sew!!) All it took a little hand stitching, which I can do. It was pretty easy. The kids both like to play with it. The bird plays with it the right way, and the bean just likes ... read more
