As y'all may know, I just LOVE Essential Oils. I use Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Lemongrass, Roman Chamomile, and others regularly, but one I need to start using again is Fennel!!
"Logic is the beginning of wisdom ... not the end." -Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Ah, Star Trek... once again, a perfect quote for humanity. To go with that quote, here are a handful of games that help strengthen those logic skills!
If your family is anything like ours, you love to play games together. We're still in that phase of life where we want to play board games, but there's so many games that our young boys just can't handle yet! Thankfully, there are a TON of games out there that have a junior/kids edition to complement the "grown-up"/family edition... check them out below!
Teacher Appreciation Week takes place (at least in the US) during the first full week of May. I am a HUGE FAN of teachers, especially my kids' teachers. Here's what we're doing for our teachers this year for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Woo hoo! Froot Loop has finally learned how to ride a bike without training wheels! We told him that he could trick out his new bike with a new horn, license plate, etc. once he learned, and he's picked out a few things!
Well, we've hit another big step in our parenting (and childhood) journeys: Froot Loop lost his first TWO teeth! The first one came out about a week after he turned 6 1/2 and the second one was exactly 3 weeks after the first. Then, we had our first tooth fairy visits! We decided we didn't want to go the "normal" money route and we have been going with LEGOS instead. Here are a bunch of other ideas y'all can use for the tooth fairy!
Well, since my gallbladder surgery, I'm STILL unable to digest fats very well, although I MISS THEM SO MUCH. UGH! I just want some ice cream, or some butter on my toast!
My kids love sensory bins! I don't make a TON of them, but I do enjoy putting them together for the holidays throughout the year, and then I love watching them discover the things I've put in them when I randomly leave them out for them to find. This one is a springy Easter themed one, and it's been a big hit so far!
Spelling is a vital part of a child's education, and generally, kiddos start learning to spell somewhere in the preschool/pre-k/kindergarten age (unless you're Froot Loop, who started spelling his first words at age 2...). I've found a bunch of fun toys and games that can help young kids learn to spell (which also helps them on their reading journey!)
