Our little ones love to go outside. It’s a very rare occasion that they don’t want to go outdoors to play . Even rarer is an occasion that they are bored outdoors. We are regularly outside listening and exploring our neighborhood or the mountains! Because of how much they love the outdoors, they always find…
Fall is a favorite around here. The leaves changing from greens to yellows, oranges and reds make for such a beautiful view. Every year we collect fallen leaves and create crafts with them, it’s like an unspoken tradition around here. We find a beautiful day, head to the park with a bag, and start collecting….
My timelines are flooded by the sporatic back to school events. Some schools still have awhile, my homeschool friends are a couple weeks out or a easing in slowly and some have been back for a week or two. It feels like summers are getting shorter every year. For us though, the school year doesn’t…
Meal time in our house is an important time of day for our family. We are all usually involved in preparing our meals, we sit down together at our table, and eat together. When Ryan is home but running a little late for dinner, we have a little snack early and then we wait until…
This post was sponsored by Evenflo as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the Evenflo Sibby Travel System to facilitate my review. As always, all opinions and imagery are ours. Our daughter, A, is very independent. She loves to explore, walk with us and be a part of the action. Sometimes…
When it comes to our little ones we try to go as natural as possible. For me, it’s important let them fall into their natural rhythms. Napping has always happened when in their rhythms, they breastfeed until they are ready to ween. We purchase items without artificial flavors or preservatives to give them the best nutrients possible….
My Little Prayers is incredibly cute and goes well with our other favorite book Bible Promises that I shared here. My Little Prayers has sections throughout the book for situations such as feelings, bedtime, mealtime, family and friends, favorite things, their day, special time with God and special days. The collection of prayers are short and…
We love to eat healthy in our house and I’m really lucky that I have two little ones that love a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Our kids see Ryan and I eat healthy and that makes them more excited to do the same. I’ll share more about how we encourage this another day. …
As B grows older – he’s turning a year this weekend – it’s also means we are starting to hit all of those milestones including him wanting to be more like us and also eating more of the food that we do. He’s still nursing and will be until he makes the choice to wean…
It’s no secret that I love two things – encouraging my children to be creative and encouraging my children to play with an imagination. With A I’m so very that she has a fantastic imagination, as well as, loves to learn. I feel like both are incredibly important traits for her as she grows and…
I really love how much kids love to learn and explore. I see the wonder in the eyes of both of my children every single day. They are constantly looking at the world with their eyes and seeing things in a fascinating way. As an adult I’m sometimes guilty of missing these small wonders. …
I love playing with my kids and what I love even more is watching their imaginations grow and bloom. I love listening in on my little ones playing and seeing what they come up with. Obviously A is a bit more advanced in the imagination area of playtime than B is but both imaginations are…
Little One, God Made You Special is such a sweet and adorable story. This 14 page board book was written by Amy Warren Hilliker and its pages are beautifully illustrated by Polona Lovsin. Both the words and the illustrations come together seamlessly to create this book that is fun and captivating for your little ones….
We do so much reading around here with our kids. I’ve mentioned that a few times before and we are constantly reading new books and old books. We started reading to A when she was still in my tummy and continued ever since. Her first summer, at just seven months old we had her signed…
There is no doubt that we love flowers, crafting and color around our home. I usually grab a fresh bunch of markdown flowers on our weekly shopping trip, we are always creating something around here and colors are just inevitable with kids and cheeriness. We also like up-cycling quite a lot too. If I can…
As soon as Christmas has come and gone the next holiday that really gets into my heart is Easter. Sure, there is Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day sprinkled in between that I like to make fun for the kids too, but Easter is the next big one. The one full of extra fun, tradition and…
Spring is officially here, but after weeks of Spring weather snow is definitely in our forecast this week so Mother Nature is certainly on the fritz right now here in Colorado. We’ve been spoiled with the Spring weather when it should have been snowing regularly and now I’m wishing we would have just gotten the…
Today is World Book Day and yesterday was Dr. Seuss’ birthday so I thought sharing our favorite books around here right now would be the perfect thing to do. A is such a little reader and so we have a very large book collection and make trips to the library regularly and come back out…
Hey friends! Whew. What a week around here. I’ve been meaning to pop in and share this sweet little DIY that A and I did this week for Valentine’s Day and I’m just now finding a moment to get it on here. We had such fun with this sweet little project and it took no…
I’ve always loved creating. I’m not sure if my mom just always encouraged it with projects or if it was a natural thing but it’s just something that’s always excited my spirit. I love painting, sketching and coloring. I took all kinds of art classes in school because it was a good change of pace…
