When Cassie and I first envisioned our summer program last November, we knew we wanted something well planned out. We’re both very busy moms and we need “grab and go” type materials. In my head I was picturing something like a homemade summer camp. Activities, crafts, books, snacks, and fun! We also wanted to make…
I have very fond memories of crafting with my mom and a glue gun as a kid. So, a few months ago I went ahead and finally bought my own glue gun. I went for a low-temp glue gun, but that thing still gets pretty hot. I’ve let Baloo do a few projects with the…

Up until recently I was missing some of the clipart I needed for this ABC set, but I’m so excited because now I have it all! I’m working my tail off getting it all complete and set up so *fingers crossed* I’ll be able to put out a new letter each week. Included in the…
Today we are participating in the 100 Days of Play hosted by SunScholars and Life at the Zoo! I love to just play with my boys most of the time. No lie, there are definitely some days where the last thing I want to do is make ‘chug chug chug’ noises for an hour straight…but…
