I recently took the kids on a spontaneous trip to the beach to kill some time while AJ played in a golf tournament. Luckily we are only a half hour from one of our favorite beaches and we love taking the kids out for a few hours whenever we can. Living in Northern California, you [...]

Activities I Use to Entertain My Toddlers as a SAHM
Being a SAHM is exhausting. And trying to find ways to constantly keep these toddlers entertained and occupied instead of destroying the house or watching Daniel Tiger all day long is tough! I was recently talking with a friend who has decided to stay at home with her kids instead of going back to work. [...]

Rainbow Rice
Earth Day is tomorrow and to celebrate we'll be putting together a fun Earth Day themed sensory bin! Before I get all the info for the bin put together (we are mid-move so bare with me in these next few weeks), I thought I'd post the recipe for the Rainbow Rice that we are going [...]

Leprechaun Shenanigans
A few days ago we read How to Catch a Leprechaun (find a copy on Amazon here) and Oliver has been on a mission to catch one ever since! So yesterday we sat down and built our very own leprechaun trap (find our DIY Leprechaun Traps here). Oliver was convinced that since we added some [...]
DIY Leprechaun Traps
Oliver has been loving learning all about Leprechauns the past few weeks so naturally we had to make Leprechaun traps! We were inspired by How to Catch a Leprechaun but since the traps in that book are a little advanced for Mom to put together, we opted for an old shoe box and lots of [...]
