Care Packages are FUN – both to send and to receive. And, I think they’re even more fun when they come in a decorated box. (= The boys and I put together a Harry Potter Care Package for a cousin, and I thought making the box look like Platform 9 3/4 would be super

I used some of Cabot's art around one of my favorite art quotes. I love the way Cabot makes these designs - my scanner really didn't do the bright colors justice, but you can still tell what an awesome job he did. (=

I love doing art projects with kids — they don’t get caught up in how you’re “supposed” to do art. Kids know that there is no “right” and “wrong” when it comes to art. There are techniques, experimentation and creativity. (=

I’m going to tell you a trick to get a break from board games that I figured out when my youngest was little and in love with Candyland. But, before I do, let me say that I’ve played numerous, endless games of Candyland (and all other sorts of games) with my kids, and I still do.

We are currently working on the Reading Pillows for Cabot’s classroom this fall, so I thought it was the perfect time to share some of the pillows we’ve done for the boys’ classrooms in the past. (= The first couple of years we only did Funny Monster Faces, but

I found some pics of an Obstacle Course that the boys made one Rainy Day a few years ago. They took a roll of Painter’s Tape (which is easy to remove from most surfaces) and made arrows all throughout the house – including up and over beds, and through various

With all of the games we’ve played, though, Snake Oil is one of our FAMILY FAVORITES!! In fact, we love it so much that we bought both editions of the game so we’d have more cards to play with, and as soon as the third set is out we’ll be getting them too! (=
