With the warm weather now upon us, hopefully, I have been noticing more and more garage sales setting up shop every Saturday and Sunday.  Many people dispose of old unwanted items and tend to make a fairly good profit on the sale.  I remember a garage sale my mom put on where she ended up [...]

Before I get into the post for today, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts over the last few days.  I pinched a muscle in my back and couldn’t sit for any period of time…or stand or anything for that matter.  I am now feeling much better, probably because of the doctor’s [...]

We all love play-dough and all the different objects that you can mold with so I decided to add another recipe to my already growing recipe list.  Having lots of alternatives for play is a great way to keep children interested in the activities that you set out for them. 
Cloud Dough is interesting in shape [...]

This last weekend has seen a lot of amazing things space wise. Nasa landed the space bot Phoenix on the surface of mars and you can actually see the first photos from Phoenix of the northern pole of Mars. I have already been on the Nasa site several times with my little guys, [...]

With Father’s Day coming up next month, I thought now would be a good time to get started on posting a few Father’s Day Craft.  I decided that I would start off with a real tear jerker of a gift idea.  This is one that I made for my husband on his second year of [...]

When I was a kid, I really felt that the sole reason why my parents had children was for the cheap labor.  I mean, by the time I was 4, I already had several chores that were assigned to me; namely the bathroom.  I still remember my parents watching me while I was scrubbing the toilet and [...]
