3 for 30 Challenge


Day 5!




1.) A lonely shape sorter that Kit refuses to use.

2.) A Trouble game board that has no pieces anymore because Grandpa threw them all away because they are made by terrorists who want to kill little children.

3.) Make up that is just sitting and not going to get used because the colors make me look far more sleep deprived than I already look, which lets face it, I don't need any help in that direction.

Happy Sunday everyone. Stay warm. Drink hot chocolate!

    Haha! Too bad the terrorists don't enjoy wearing wrong makeup and rewiring their demented brains by sorting out shapes...or maybe they shift shapes....or maybe they could have soothed their anger issues by a few minutes in yesterday's rocker with a cup of hot chocolate!

    The other day I did what I call a 27 fling boogie. The fun name is supposed to help! I went through the house with two bags--one for trash and one for things to pass along. Very quickly, before I had time to change my mind, I filled the bags with 27 items! I love decluttering. The less stuff I have, the less stress I have, it seems. Keep up the good work!

      Way to go to you too! I love the name, 27 fling boogie! And I completely agree, less stuff less stress. That's what I'm aiming for!

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.
