Mother’s Day Idea: Have a Virtual Tea Party

May 4, 2020

One group of people that I think quarantine is very hard for is Grandmothers. If they live close by, it’s not easy for them to skip what were frequent visits or to start having visits from 6+ feet away in the driveway to way hello.

April means lots of rain here… which means lots of earthworms to be found in our yard. My girls have enjoyed digging for worms since they were little and have taught their brothers to do the same.

An Easy Rainbow Craft for Kids

April 6, 2020

We first made this easy rainbow craft for kids when trying to come up with something for a class St. Patrick’s Day party.

The 1st graders had… Read More
