September 19, 2014 By Julie Leave a Comment

Have some old magazine’s lying around your house? Why not turn them into a fun learning activity for your kiddos to play with?   When a friend mentioned she was getting rid of a bunch of old magazines, I was quick to snatch them up. Prep Work Setup is simple. Go through the magazines and […]

June 21, 2014 By Julie Leave a Comment

Folks, it is blazing hot in Texas. I can’t stand it. Make fun of me all you want. Labeled me a pansy, you won’t hurt my feelings.But I’d like to see a native Texan build a quinsy (an igloo made out of snow for you southerners) and sleep in it. Yeah, Chicago pride! But I […]

“Serious” Fun Saturdays: “Painting” with Water and a Chalkboard

June 13, 2014 By Julie 2 Comments

I really like no prep activities. Mostly because I tend to fly by the seat of my pants. When I plan, I usually dream too big and get frustrated when they don’t work or we never get around to actually doing them. (“Hello, craft project that I started six months ago!”) So here’s a good […]

“Serious” Fun Saturdays: Feather Play for Older Babies

June 6, 2014 By Julie 3 Comments

I’ve been feeling bad about how much blog space my three year old Loopy has been getting compared to 13 month old Lumpy. Of course, art reflects life. Poor Lumpy either does what brother is up to, or has to sit out, most of the time. But low and behold, Loopy took an extra long […]

We were bored. It was hot. I wanted the boys to do something together and outside. Went to my handing dandy pinterest board. Nothing jumped off the page at me. Decided to grab a bunch of vehicles. Goodness knows we have enough of those lying around! Then I grabbed a couple “washing utensils.” Then I […]
