The theme for the Unplugged Project for this week is newspaper. I remembered seeing a structure made out of newspaper and saved the instructions for “some day”. Well today was that some day.
I just so happened to have this past weeks newspapers and the paper leftover from the garage sale. Good thing because this project […]

Today was the last day for Homeschool Roller skating. My kids have really come to love this monthly activity. And for me it just brings back tons of memories!! Saturdays at the Golden Gate Roller Rink. Waiting for a good song and holding hands while skating. Sometimes even walking over to Laparoe’s Pizza afterwards.

Over the weekend I noticed the invasive weed, garlic-mustard in my yard was at its peak Spring form. While on my daily walk I noticed that several other non-American forgers must have noticed this too. The edges of the woods were spotted with Asian people with very large plastic bags filled with […]

Molly still isn’t 100%, but tired of lying around and in need of warm sunshine, so we headed outside to work on a jump rope. If you read Family Fun the directions were in this months issue-and it may be worth looking at if my description isn’t very clear. You will need 3/4 inch loops […]

Today when I walked down to the prairie there were at least 20 of these Goldfinches hanging off of the dead cone flower plants, picking the seeds off the tops of the flower heads. They were so incredibly yellow, and shy. Hence, the blurry photo. I just couldn’t get a good shot. But thought I […]

Today as Molly pulled out the bag of felting goodies, I heaved a heavy sigh as my plan was to do some cleaning and not pulling more stuff out or making more of a mess. But of course I begrudgingly consented, sure that I was going to have to be involved in the […]

Well they were wrong-it didn’t rain.
It was another beautiful day.
So I didn’t get much done in the house again.
But this evening we did follow the artful parents nature prints idea. I bought some sculpey clay and rolled each block into four balls. Then with various bits and pieces of nature; leaves, sea […]

Spring means work. So today I dug in-literally. I spread 90lbs of compost and about 60 lbs. of manure and some organic fertilizer in our vegetable garden today. Then we planted cilantro, arugula, 2 different types of kale, mesclun mix, and 2 other types of lettuce. Off to a good start […]
