Ok, after yesterday’s slightly heavy, all right heavy, post, I thought that I would do something a little lighter. Model making!
If you remember, my son and husband are working on a historical model about Vimy Ridge for a contest the local museum is having. This is a pretty big endeavor but they are enjoying it [...]

You have probably seen these at countless children’s festivals or even in stores. Those nice jars filled with colored sand to create a little 3D art piece. There are actually two ways to make these but I thought I would use the work of art that can be used for a relaxing bath.
What you will [...]

I know that Mother’s Day is still a month away but it can take some time to decide upon (or create) the perfect gift. I wanted to give everyone a chance to get started or to have a few options to choose from so I will be putting up a craft each week until Mother’s Day.
The first [...]

I have been in a spring mood for the last few days and it is a very good thing since spring is after all upon us. I have purchased my daffodils from the Canadian Cancer Society and they are sitting on my desk at this very moment, filling the air with their sweet scent and [...]

This is a recipe that I created when I was working in preschool. There isn’t too many opportunities when you want to make playdough with the children, especially since our kitchen was upstairs and didn’t have enough room to sit and make it with 16 children. This meant that teachers in my center often made [...]

Every year I have boiled those wonderful eggs so that I could spend a few hours coating myself in food dye just for the simple enjoyment of the experience. For all children, egg dying is a wonderful experience and my children look forward to it every year. My biggest problem with dying eggs was that I [...]
If you can remember far enough back, I wrote both part one and two of this series on Theorists of Child Development. My first post was about Freud and my second was aboutErikson. Today, I am going to take us closer to the end of this series and discuss Piaget. If you are not sure [...]
Today it was official, we took down the pool so it has to be the last day of summer. Okay, maybe the last day of summer is officially on September 21st and the last day of summer vacation isn’t until Monday but you can definitely feel the days winding down into a new schedule.
Already my [...]
It’s probably a little early to be dreaming about snow but with the muggy weather I had today, I’m almost ready for winter. Well, almost ready…okay, not really, but the thought of winter made me think that it would be an excellent time to share my recipe for Whipped Snow.
This is a fun little recipe [...]
Welcome to part two of buying a layette for your baby. If you have been with me for a while, you will probably remember the first post about buying a layette. I know that usually this is just one article but since I am writing a few points about every item, I decided to break [...]
It has been a while since I wrote a cheat sheet for That Parent Place so I figured it was time to do so again. Right now, I am the proud snail-sitter of about 10 snails. They will be going back into a nice spot in my yard very soon, not the garden where they [...]
