The Big Boy Bed

Published by under Mini Cupcakes

Salsa!

Published by under Mini Cupcakes

A few weeks ago (the same night my husband and I decided to paint our kitchen on a whim) we stopped at one of our local Mexican restaurants for dinner while we were out buying paint and supplies. Super A made us laugh the whole time because he could not get enough of the chips [...]

Fly Like an Airplane

Published by under Family Style

It always makes me wonder how things become a routine at our house. We have certain routines, but Super A also creates routines of his own. Every morning Super A has orange juice while I have my coffee and we play freight trains. After Super A’s nap he wants a snack and one episode of [...]

This week we are discussing different colors and going beyond just the basic hues. We also discussed value and intensity, by mixing red and white to make pink and looking at how gray affects different colors. I did a Valentine craft with Super A to talk about how red and white makes pink which I [...]
