I've learned, and I am still learning: Everything happens for a reason, and things soon fall into place People can be rude, and sometimes emotionless; you have the option of letting those people go There's so much beauty around us all. Let us learn to appreciate it I sometimes worry myself like there's no tomorrow, I'm learning that worrying that much does absolutely nothing. Other than stress you out!  That it's okay to set some time out for me, we all need some time to clear our minds from our busy/daily schedules. That I have so much love in my heart, and if I could I would scatter my love everywhere!  No matter how busy I get, I still have time for my loves. They mean the world to me. Our week This week the weather has shifted.  This week  I took some time preparing a few things around our home for the arrival of Thanksgiving. I haven't been in much of an organizing mood. -Ever since last weekend; we spent so much of our t...

Materials needed: -TP roll -foil -beads -craft eyes -paint & paint brushes -pipe cleaners(for arms and hair) -hot glue and you will need a creative little one! =)  Cover tp roll with foil (it's really that simple) Let your little one paint, and be creative when decorating their robot.

Enjoy your silly robot.

Baked Caramel apple bread -recipe- Bakingdom Our little artist Craft time at the library Our home consisted of sniffles, coughs, and a lot of snuggle time. I'm relieved and happy to say that we are feeling much better. Lately, it's been kind of slow around here. We have been enjoying our time together and engaging in a lot of learning activities. I've come across quite a few learning websites and virtual field trip sites. (I love the fact that there are so many around) Before we all came down with a nasty cold; we enjoyed trips to the library for stories and crafts with our daughter. Over the weekend, my husband and I cleaned out our garage. I'm really impressed with the finished results. We realized there were things we were holding onto, that really needed to go. So we swept, wiped, and organized our garage. I took some time to clean out, and also organize my laundry room. I normally fold, sort, and hang clothes up in the laundry room. I need...

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 bo...

"A sun-drenched sky on a windy autumn day; out across open fields passing clouds make shadow play. Silent beauty in multi-hues but ominous in a sense; for though today be delightful darkness soon gains precedence. -   Ray,  Psychology of Seasons Hello November, so nice to have you here... Hello sun -You're so beautiful on our evening walks. Colors of fall-Make me feel so cheerful. Golden leaves have taken over this path-so pretty much! 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...

One recipe that I really enjoyed was the blended Coffee/banana smoothie from  cookincanuck . I loved the combination of the nutmeg, and cinnamon whe...
