We love Scifi in this house. We also love playing games. I found some games that combine the best of both of these worlds.

Tutorial: I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Is Gone - Simple "Stained Glass" Window Craft for Kids & Toddlers

I’m sharing a classic activity with y’all today. I needed a quick and easy activity to keep the boys busy for awhile. So, I pulled out the tissue paper squares and the Clear Adhesive Paper and told Froot Loop we were making a stained glass window! 

Cleaning/Chore Schedule: I am the WORST housewife ever & this is why...

Okay, okay, y'all. It's time to take over the house again. It's been over 4 years since I've felt normal (kids will do that to you!) enough to actually keep a cleaning schedule. Here's what I've come up with so far:

Tutorial: How to make a DIY Crash Pad for when your kids are BOUNCING off the walls!

We still have the weekend until preschool starts up again and Froot Loop is going crazy with cabin fever. He needed to run around and get some of his crazy energy out. I thought I’d make him a crash pad to put next to his bean bag chairs so he could jump in/on it.

This will be the first Christmas we have spent in Texas, as every year we've made the two day drive up to see my parents! But now they're here, so no drive for us! Here's this week's question: 

Quickie Questions: Specialty Cookies Edition! I want your Recipes!

Wow, this month is flying by! We're almost halfway to Christmas already. I think my schedule is finally starting to slow down somewhat, in that all of my adult choirs are done. I still have Children's Choir, Playgroup, Bible study, and various Christmas parties, including preschool! Anyway, here's this week's question:
