Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Kids Can Make
There’s no doubt we have a thing for play doughs in this house. I absolutely love coming up with fun new dough recipes, and Miss G absolutely loves exploring and creating with them. I’m not sure where this crazy idea came from exactly, but one day I found myself wondering why we had yet to… Read More
Christmas Eve 2013
What a lovely Christmas Eve we had today… We woke up to the most gorgeous sunrise, and after having some breakfast, enjoyed some low-key time around the apartment. We read books, played with play dough and unifix cubes, and Gracen danced her way around the apartment in her favourite ever dress {from Over the Loom}.… Read More
A Day With Friends
This morning we met up with good friends and toured around the city together. It was a day filled with cafes, restaurants, walking, glüwein, and Christmas markets, and though it wasn’t the most munchkin-friendly day, Miss G managed to hang in there until falling asleep in her stroller about 3 minutes after leaving dinner. With… Read More
Polar Express Party
{this post includes affiliate links} Though I really haven’t watched many Christmas movies, one that I have seen and love is The Polar Express. Back during Kuwait round one, our Grade One team had a little Polar Express ‘party’ for the students each year and it was great fun. Gracen’s never watched a full-length movie… Read More

Franken-SLIME Halloween Favours
After yesterday, I decided that Miss G and I needed a very low-key day around the house today. We spent our morning making these cute little Franken-SLIME Halloween favours, and we both just love the way they turned out. With Gracen being a sugar-free kid, I try my very best to make sure that she… Read More
Developing Scissor Skills with a Cutting Tray
The last few months have been filled with transitions… Transitions for our whole family, but though they’ve been big for us, they’ve been HUGE for Gracen. First, we packed up our home in Vancouver and moved out. Then we moved in with her grandparents where we completely redid her bedroom twice and got rid of… Read More
Candy Clay
This week, Miss G and I are participating in a candy play series with several other mamas and munchkins from around the world… Yesterday’s theme was painting – check out our glossy Skittles paint here. It’s no secret that we absolutely love homemade play dough around here… In fact, we usually have 2 or 3 batches on… Read More
Pumpkin Seed Counting Game
I’ve been a long time fan of No Time for Flashcards, so when Allison, the author, announced that her very first post was live on Adventures in Learning (the new PBS Parents blog), I headed on over to check it out. As usual, her learning activity was creatively set up, engaging as could be, and… Read More
Moving Fun for Miss G
In order to get through our move, Miss G spent a lot of time playing independently, which is difficult when the majority of your things are packed and life as you know it is being turned upside-down in front of your eyes. In order to make things a little bit easier for her, each day… Read More
Building Beaded Pattern Sticks
The other day while picking up a few craft supplies, Miss G absolutely fell in love with these heart-shaped pony beads. Next to them, we found tiny little wooden dowels that the beads fit onto perfectly. At the time, I really had no idea what we’d do with the pair, but I knew we’d figure… Read More
Our 3rd Annual Valentine’s Tea
A little tradition we started back when Gracen was just 5 months old and we were living in Kuwait is an annual Valentine’s tea. Today we hosted our third celebration with a bunch of Grae’s good buddies, some awesome mamas, delicious treats, and some messy fun. The sun was shining, us mamas got to sneak… Read More
Valentine’s Day {2013}
With a Valentine’s party earlier this week, and our annual Valentine’s tea happening tomorrow, when Miss G asked to have a special day at home today instead of attending our Valentine’s celebration at Strong Start, I was more than happy to oblige. It was a day of cooking together and doing special activities, topped off… Read More
