Popcorn on the cob

Adding a little fun to our movie night was some kettle corn that we popped right from the cob in a brown paper bag. It was that easy.

Twig artwork

My little one wanted to go outside to collect some twigs for her project. Along the way, we added some greenery to our basket. I wonder what she's up to. Well, have to see.

Excavating

This was a little honey bee excavation kit. My little one is very interested in nature and insects, so this was a great gift for her. I think children learn so much from being actively involved in the process of discovery. "WOW" is what I heard from the kitchen, as Daddy and little A were busy at work.

I want chickens

Yes, it's true. I want chickens. One day, when I have time to commit to a routine of feeding, cleaning, and gathering. I do have a small yard, which will make it difficult to manage a free ranging area and 2 bird dogs.








A friend's Fancy Chickens lays blue-green eggs. I dream of chickens and fresh eggs. Of course, I also dream in color.

A little gift

:: Art and craft supplies are a wonderful and much appreciated gift. Although, not completely appreciated (by my little one) at the time of opening, the paints came out the very next morning. Thanks again, Mom, for stocking up our supplies.


:: The djembe drum inspires music and song.

Any gift that spark a child's imagination and invites creative play are tops on my list. It's more about the quality than quantity, wouldn't you say?

A few treasures of Christmas

:: This picture captures a holiday tradition my family has had since I could remember - singing Christmas songs together. It was joyous to see my little one participating.



:: My little one's angel drawing series filled our stockings.


:: These colorful ornaments made by my little one also made it into our stockings.


:: A gift brought home from school. One of many treasured memories and mementos I will treasure.
