My friend Jennifer came over last weekend and taught me how to knit. I'm thankful for this new activity, & getting to spend time with her. I'm not sure if it is something I will keep up, but it has been fun to try. As I struggled with how to hold the needles and where to put the yarn, I realized ...
Gloves
While I was driving up town today I felt something poke at my finger inside of the mitten part of my glove. The half glove/half mitten thing was a great invention. I pulled back the mitten to feel inside and see what was poking me, it felt like a piece of wood. I smiled when I realized that yes ...

Melted Crayon Shapes
What would you do with an ice cream bucket FULL of crayons? Well I'll tell you what I did. I sorted them by color and saved all of them longer than 2 inches for precious little hands to color with.

Kitchen Uprgade: Plastic Storage Containers.
My husband mentioned that the toy isles of Wal-Mart smell when you get close. That darn plastic smell. Have you noticed this? I haven't, just because I avoid those isles. I'm always shopping with children, and rather than saying "no" all the time, we just skip it all together. Well it got me ...
