Toddler Tuesday: Sidewalk Chalk Outlines
October 18th, 2011 
Jessica I am constantly being reminded that it doesn’t take a lot to make a toddler happy. You can make a lot of beautiful memories with your childen using the simplest of toys. What matters is that you spend time together, both in quantity and quality. One of Naomi’s favorite activities is “coloring” with sidewalk chalk. […]
I Love Being A Mommy
October 13th, 2011 Jessica I love being a mommy because it gives me permission to be as silly as I can be! My kids make me laugh so often, and they bring out my silly side. My life is so much more creative and colorful with them in it. 🙂
Toddler Tuesday: Autumn Tree Painting
October 11th, 2011 Jessica This week I discovered Pinterest for the first time. Let’s just be grateful I didn’t discover it any earlier!

Toddler Tuesday: Naomi’s Box-of-Fun!
August 9th, 2011 Jessica Last winter as Naomi and I tried to find indoor activities to pass the time, I found myself carrying a lot of things up and down the stairs from our basement bedroom to my parents’ kitchen. So I found a box and began carrying our playtime items in it. The box has evolved over time, […]
Counting with Toddlers

One of those exciting discoveries is COUNTING! We have been COUNTING all kinds of things around here, and Naomi is picking up on them quickly! Here […]
How to Brush Your Toddler’s Hair
July 10th, 2011 Jessica Despite Naomi’s smooth hair, she does an excellent job at making a sticky mess of it on a daily basis. No matter how many baths she takes, brushing can be a “hairy” prospect. She also has very straight hair which hangs right in her eyes unless I pull it back each day. I was ready […]
