Well, now that we've had a few days of crafts this week to celebrate Earth Day week, I thought I'd try something a little different today!

So, we’re more than 3 months from Christmas, and one of the things Froot Loop is still playing with is his Learning Resources City Engineering & Design Building Set. This kid. He really wants to be an elecrical engineer. He is getting so good at visualizing and building things...
I think most little kids like coloring. It's also great for those prewriting muscles and is a great way to hone those fine motor skills. Froot Loop was sort of a late colorer, but Cocoa Puff really enjoyed coloring as soon as he could grasp a crayon. We got him some of these Jumbo Crayola Crayons.
Although we didn't really have a baby shower for Cocoa Puff and I didn't make up his bedroom any special way, his unofficial "theme" was (and still is) Winnie the Pooh. The kid LOVES Winnie the Pooh.
Every once in a while, we find a toy that doesn't light up, doesn't make noise, doesn't use batteries, and yet sparks the imagination of the boys and they play with it for HOURS. Here's another one of those toys.
My boys LOVE trucks. My oldest even had a Construction Truck birthday party and I'm pretty sure Cocoa Puff is going to have a fire truck party for his 3rd birthday this summer.
I have been using stevia for years. I hate artificial sweeteners and they do TERRIBLE things to your body. Stevia is a plant, and it is 300 times sweeter than sugar. It is also better for you than regular table sugar.
On Tuesday, I published a post about the National Geographic geode kit. We've got another National Geographic kit that's a Meteorite dig kit. Read on for more:
I have always been a geology fan. Although I'm considered to have a B.S. in Physics, my actual degree is in Earth/Space Science. I took a LOT of Earth Science courses in college, including Physical Geography and Geology, Climatology, etc. One of the things I've always been fascinated by is geodes and how they're formed, so when I found this geode breaking kit for sale, I had to try it with Froot Loop!
On Tuesday, I wrote about the Kindle Fire. Today, I will share with you some of our favorite apps. Most are available through Amazon Underground, meaning that the games are always free and have no in app purchases or ads. Hooray!
