February. Lately


“New day, new hopes, new life!!” 
― Lailah Gifty Akita



Our home is filled with so much love.-Sweet baby kisses, giggles, hugs and moments I just realize how much I truly love my family.  We put up a love banner and a few Valentine's window clings. - I sure can feel the love. :)


Discovery bottles: Glitter, letter beads, buttons, starfish shapes, fish shapes, and shells!

 We absolutely love our discovery bottles. When I first made these fun bottles our oldest daughter was a wee one. This week we decided to make a few more. I'm sure her little sister will enjoy them as much as she does. :)



Our learning board. It includes the month, day, season, and weather. We start our morning using this board. I actually put this board together some time back. 





We've been working on using scissors more. Our oldest started using them some time back. She's getting better and enjoying cutting pictures out on her own.


This week we have been working on the letter A. Each week is a new theme. We're enjoying this theme so much. Our daughter was so proud, she made A's all over her paper!


Preparing meals as a family.- Honestly, I wish we could prepare meals as a family all the time. But of course, we have our days when things are just so hectic. So I really enjoy the times when things are calm and we can enjoy these simple moments in the kitchen together.

How's life treating you? How are your days spent with your family?
