Painted cardboard houses and baked goodies

Little Cardboard houses Materials needed: -Empty cereal box -Scissors -Hot glue gun -paint This was a fun craft to do with my little one. I figured we could use our old cereal boxes. So I came up with making little houses to go along with her little car set.  I also made us a yummy treat. Raspberry almond shortbread cookies , they are delicious!  Made these to go along with our tea party later today. =) Here's where I got my recipe:  http://parentpretty.com “Bake with love..”  ―  Manuela Kjeilen

Float, sink or absorb?

Will it float, sink, or absorb water? Observation activity This was a great learning/observation activity to do with my little one. I asked questions like, "why do you think the rock sank to the bottom, but the sponge was able to float". I went over the different shapes, and sizes of each object. Also pointing out which ones were lighter, and heavier. I also asked which one she thought would float, sink, or absorb when placed in the water. We went over this a few times, and soon she was able to tell me what would happen when they were placed in the water. Our observations- Rock -when added to the water, they sank to the bottom. Silk flower  absorbed some water but still managed to float above water. Cotton balls immediately  absorbed water, and sank to the bottom. The paper towel absorbed  some water and floated the first time. The second time put into water it sank to the bottom. Jewel , along with buttons all sank to the bottom

A little playground fun-A lovely evening to play out in the autumn sun. Beautiful Colorado mountains. Lunch time-Fajita pizza, prepared by my wonderful husband. Zebra cake, with Mocha frosting...(You read right, Zebra cake. It's a premium cake mix, and it should come out looking like Zebra stripes. Our cake didn't come out with the stripes, but oh boy it was delicious.) Here's the link for the cake mix- zebra-cake mix De

We spent this month baking, painting, coloring, learning, preparing for colder weather, and enjoying each other's company. This week my daughter and I enjoyed reading a few Halloween books, along with coloring a few coloring sheets. We did some fun learning activities and enjoyed a few tunes on Pandora's toddler station.- Of course, we danced around, and sang out loud!  This week I had the pleasure of trying out a few new recipes. One recipe that I really enjoyed was the blended Coffee/banana smoothie from  cookincanuck . I loved the combination of the nutmeg, and cinnamon when combined with t
