New Look!

Welcome to hide-n-sensory-seeking's great new look!

I hope you like it.

I've been wanting to update a few things for a while, and to begin to expand a bit as well.

My blog has expanded and changed quite a bit since I first started out, much like our lives have.

I write about many more topics than when I first started out. I feel much more comfortable out here in the bloggosphere. And I feel I have found my feet, and my voice, in major part by being able to put my thoughts into words here and connect with others who are or have been in similar seasons of life.

Most features on the blog are the same, even if they are a different color now.

I will be adding a few things here and there and I will share them as we go along.

One thing you might have noticed, my Username is slightly different. A little more grown up, and a little easier for networking. (But don't worry, I still don't take myself too seriously.)

Also, I am on Twitter now! Look me up: @JudithLloy ! Would love to hear from any of my readers, and very much appreciate the occasional shout out! If you are on Twitter or other social media, and you like something you read here, please feel free to post a link back here for your friends! There are icons on the bottom of each post that make linking up super easy.

Another new feature is in my Profile. My email is now visible for those who would like to contact me that way. I am always happy to hear from you and will respond as time allows (I do have 3 crazy kiddos).

Something else you will hopefully be seeing periodically is special posts related to book promotions and possibly even book reviews! Much of this is still in the getting organized stage, but I'm excited! And I promise, I will not promote anything that I am not willing to read by myself or with my kiddos. To get more recommendations, follow me on Goodreads.

If you want to get new posts by email, just put your email address in the box on the sidebar to the right. New posts can be read as an email, or just click on the title of the post to be directly linked to it here. If you would like to add a comment, use the title link to bring you to the post here, and then add your comment!

I love getting comments so please, share your thoughts! Most everyone here has always had very kind things to say. I will only delete comments that are clearly spam, derogatory or abusive, or that contain profanity. I respect others views, but appreciate courtesy and kindness.

If you have an idea, question, or something you would like to see here, email me and I will see what I can do! I may not always be able to directly respond, though I shall try. Click on my Profile to get my email.

 I appreciate so much all of you who take the time to check in here. Thank you so much to all of you who read and comment!

    Your new page looks really nice! I'm excited to see what you'll be adding/changing. The book you featured also looks like a good one to pick up! Thanks for the post and happy blogging.

Le Petite Chef: Mud Pie

Here it is, as promised, Grace's Mud Pie recipe! She did all the work, I helped explain terms and measurements, stirred at the very end to make sure everything was evenly coated (at her request), and helped hold the pot. She let one of her friends spread the Nutella and add the "dirt" to one of the pies while she did the other.  This is a very kid friendly recipe, I highly recommend it for ages 8 and up! The original recipe is in the book The Cooking Book, by Jane Bull. But we modified it just a bit. Here are our supplies: 3/4 c butter 1 tbsp cocoa powder 1/2 c sugar 1 c graham cracker crumbs 1/2 c dried fruit 1 chocolate bar (we used Nutella spread instead) We added: Heath chocolate and toffee bits Black Sixletts (found in the party aisle) These are the original measurements, we doubled the recipe though. Step 1: Crush graham crackers. We used a gallon size zipper bag and a coffee mug (I don't own

Saying Goodbye

For the entire month of August, I just didn't let myself think about it beyond the facts. For the last two weeks, I just focused on anything else that took my mind off of it. Over the weekend I was busy getting things ready, so I was too busy to think about it. Tuesday came. Miss V came. It was a good visit, with laughing and smiling, and questions asked and answered, and Kit played with her, and smiled and made us laugh like usual. But it was different, and we felt it. I didn't let myself go there, because I didn't want to break down, not that it would have been the first time in front of her (nor the second, or third, or even fourth probably.)  And then it was time for her to go, and we took some pictures, and all the kids hugged her, and I held Kit on my shoulder on the steps so she could wave goodbye until Miss V is out of sight like she has every week for at least five months. And then we closed the door, and Kit went on with business as usual, beca

Preschool at Home! Chalkboard Painting

Here is another treasure from the backfiles. This started as an act of desperation on my part, I just needed her to be occupied so I could finish something, but it quickly became one of her favorite activities. If you have a chalkboard (we made ours on a half wall with chalkboard paint), all you need is a paintbrush, sponge, or washcloth, and a cup of water. Dip the brush in the water and have at it! Kit LOVES how the water turns the board black. So often, she will be at this so long that by the time she gets across the board, the first area she painted will be dry and a fresh pallet once again. You can get creative with the things you use as paintbrushes, but she has been completely happy with our basic art brushes from Walmart. I love watching her do this.
