Fall Traditions

2011-11-04T14:06:00.001-04:00

Apple picking has become one of our favorite family traditions. We started when I was 8 months pregnant with #3, and carried on the tradition the following year while I was 8 months pregnant with #4. Suffice it to say, it's a lot easier to trek up that mountain without a belly full of baby.

This is our 2011 trip and I love this family photo of the six of us. We were able to go with friends this year and share in the apple pickin' tradition.

Our favorite apple to pick are the Pink Lady's. It a sweet and cruchy apple that is perfect for apple pie and apple sauce.

Camera Love

2011-04-12T13:21:00.002-04:00

I've been working on camera strap covers for weeks now. The first one I made too short and the second too narrow. Finally I think I got it right. :) And I love the addition of the ruffles to girly it up a bit more!

I'm in Stitches

2011-01-14T12:36:00.003-05:00

Im branchin' out and trying my hand at sewing. I've wanted a sewing machine for years now and thanks to a little extra cash flow at Christmas I have finally got one. My first project was a Nursing cover that I sent to my Sis (Amy) back home who welcomed her first child at the end of November. Oh how nice it was to get my baby fix!! :) My next venture was a cute little apron to add to my collection.....aprons are addictive and so darn adorable.

here is the link to the nursing tutorial I used, found it years ago. Was super simple to understand. http://madebythemamamonster.blogspot.com/2008/04/nursing-cover-tutorial.html

Christmas Mix Mash

2010-12-16T09:18:00.003-05:00

Finally finished with our Christmas Mix CD. I've been inspired by the idea of making a holiday music mix and giving as a gift to friends and family. We love our Christmas music around here and I'm always looking for new songs and remixes to mix in with the old classics. And here's our 2010 set list:

Snowman Craft and Bits of Fun

2010-12-10T14:53:00.004-05:00

Hope everyone is having a great December. The kids and I have been busy filling our calender with fun family activites and crafts. I love the holiday season and all the possiblities to create fabulous memories.

Here are a few shots of the fun we've been having along with a cute and simple craft.

Snowman Magnet:

Acorn Trees

2010-10-26T10:57:00.004-04:00

The kids and I put to good use the multitude of acorns we have collected by making acorn trees. The craft came together super simple: first, we painted our acorns...I let the kids have at it andtried to not hover and expect perfection. Its so much easier when you just let go, isn't it? sesond, they glued the acorn "hats" back on. Next, I assisted by hot glueing twine to the tips for hanging. They then decorated the twigs the collected with their acorn decorations. After I just arranged them in a glass vase and voila....I beautiful autumn centerpiece.

A little crafty game

2010-08-29T10:24:00.002-04:00

Today was a rainy day and called for a little ingenious "craft Mommy" to the rescue. Like I am sure all of you I have a box of miscellaneous pictures that are waiting for their day in the sun…or should I say rain… (Don't mind my sense of humor). Anyway, I cut out the faces for family members in pairs into 3X3 squares, adhered them to 3X3 cereal cardboard, and then covered the back side with cute patterned paper. Modpodged it all together and them for extra protection covered in clear contact paper.

homemade soft pretzals...

2009-01-31T11:33:00.003-05:00

so iam on a baking kick and today i tried my hand at homemade pretzels. i am a huge pretzel lover and we go through a box of store bought pretzels in no time. They turned out great and were delicious. I paired mine with a steamy bowl of tomato soup for lunch. yum-yum.

Homemade Crusty Bread...

2009-01-27T12:39:00.002-05:00

Decided to make some bread today on this "thought we were going to get some snow-ended up getting freezing rain-day" I followed this recipe. Now I just need to get the hubby to bring home some good EVOO. Yummy!!!

Happy New Year to All...2009

2009-01-03T13:54:00.003-05:00

Ah, another year has passed and a new year begins. I think about new things, new possibilities, and the chance to start fresh. I am not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I do always like to set goals to accomplish throughout the year. So here are some of mine...what are yours??

Learn to sew
have a signature food dish
cook a holiday meal...by myself
get caught up on my scrapbooks
read at least 10 books
potty train my 2 year old
start a new family tradition
develop spiritually
make a new friend
write letters to loved ones

Homemade Thank You Cards

2008-12-13T19:37:00.002-05:00

The little ones received birthday gifts from my good friend Angela. I wanted to give her a little thank you card so I had the babies color on piece of paper that I taped around the paper and to the table/tray. Removed the tape after they were done scribbling and folded the paper in half to form a card. C-bear helped me write "Thank You" on each card.

Fall Time

2008-11-10T10:38:00.005-05:00

Well, I am trying to get back in the swing of things and start blogging again. I thought I would share some pictures of the kids and family enjoying the fall season...which is our favorite.

Busy Times...where have I been?

2008-10-05T09:31:00.002-04:00

Mini Candy Apples

2008-09-25T21:05:00.002-04:00

I made this cute snack I found in Family Fun. It was my MOPS meeting and with the Adventures in Mothering theme we wanted to have carnivaly type foods at our meeting. I immediately remembered the mini candy apple recipe and knew that was the perfect thing for me to make. Super easy fun, even my Chef Husband was impressed!

Belated B-day

2008-09-24T20:54:00.007-04:00

I am a little late with this birthday post, but my oldest and I celebrated our birthdays the other day. Yes, we share the same birthday. He was my best present I ever got. (minus labor and delivery) he! he! Anyway, we celebrated again with our special birthday station (photos, baby book, t-shirt from hospital, cards...) So, since I was putting together his special things I decided to do a little photo collage of Me! as well. you can catch a glimpse of it over in the corner. Here's My Birthday Boy:

And here is his poem:

A round little face

And brown curly locks

A little mouth that smiles

A little voice that talks

Chubby little hands

So inquisitive and small

Digging in the dirt

Or throwing a ball

Big Buddha belly

So round and sweet

Waiting for a cookie

Or some other treat

Small toddler legs

That run and jump and climb

Scraped little knees

And a cute small behind

Tiny little toes

Perfect and all in a row

My baby J

Always on the go.

Nature Walk

2008-09-18T22:10:00.002-04:00

Today was a beautiful day, clear blue skies, mild temperatures, just the excuse I needed to get out with the kids and take a walk. C-bear and I did a little nature exploring. He loves finding fallen leaves and very soon was gathering quite a handful. I love the pure joy little ones find in the simplest things.

His Collection:

It's a bird, it's a plane...

2008-09-16T15:18:00.005-04:00

It's a pack-in-play fort! I was cleaning out under C-bear's play pen and seeing it tipped over he thought it would make a great fort. So I draped a blanket over the top and he happily played for a bit going in and out!

Special Day...

2008-09-10T19:21:00.005-04:00

Yesterday we celebrated T-man's 7th Birthday. Wow, how the time has flown by!! I thought I would start out by sharing with you a poem I wrote for my little man when he was about a year and a half (I started a tradition when my oldest was 18 mts to write a simple little poem for each of them, they are printed and framed and hang on their bedroom wall)

Baby Steps and Pat-a cake

Wheels on the bus

Boogie and shake

Big Bright Eyes

And a sly toothy grin

When did this little

Personality Begin?

Soft wet kisses and cookie crumbs

A sweet tiny voice that calls out "Mum"

Perfect blond ringlets

Halo his head

A soft touch to the ear

And it's time for bed.

I set up a little spot on my desk with his birthday cards, cake, and pictures of him to look at.

Yeah I Won

2008-09-09T15:53:00.002-04:00

I am always so excited when I win anything because I usually never do. I found this giveaway over at Summer's blog. And I Won!! She got a great blog with lots of great ideas, product reviews, and giveaways so go check it out.

Simple Solutions

2008-09-05T20:39:00.005-04:00

Well, with the weather (hopefully) beginning to turn cooler I am trying to spend some more time outside with C-bear and Little Miss. The problem I am finding is not having everything I need once I get outside, and with a almost 2 year old and 9 month old I can't leave them while I run back and forth from the house. So, here is my solution: a container of supplies that include:

ball
various baby/toddler toys
blanket for sitting in the grass
sunscreen
magazines for Mommy

While I was at it I also put together a portable sandbox for C

Once the weather is too cold or we (I!) get tired of the sand, I will use it for various sensory play.

filled with rice for pouring and scooping
filled with soap bubbles and water for car/toy washing

And the containers store neatly under our yard swing and are ready for the next day of use.

What simple solutions have you come across lately??

Back To School...

2008-09-03T10:21:00.003-04:00

YEAH!!! My boys are back in school!

They both had a really good first day back with LOTS to say...and LOTS of paperwork. But first they helped me finish off our "pencil cake" as seen on Family Fun. I had planned to have it finished and surprise them, but as usual nothing goes according to plan around here. They each got to help making the colored icing. T did the yellow/orange and J did the pink and miraculously was able to concoct a brown. I still don't know how...he was adding and mixing for quite a while.

And here is the finished product:

Not exactly gourmet..but pretty cute. This picture makes T look tiny...lol!

This "Cracked" me up!

2008-08-30T12:32:00.004-04:00

So, for those of you who check out my blog I posted a few days ago about how I broke my tailbone in a very unfortunate accident. Well, I received this card from a very good friend yesterday and had to share...

LOVE IT!!

Back-to-School Fashion Show

2008-08-29T14:31:00.004-04:00

We held our first annual back-to-school fashion show yesterday. It was a miserably rainy day so I was thinking of a way to keep everyone occupied when I thought "fashion show". Now, having boys, this may not seem like a "boy" activity ; but, throw in music, prizes and the freedom to put together their own outfits and I had very willing participants.

So, I made a score card: they had 3 outfits to put together with a total of 15 points possible for each outfit. I even made prize cards, how creative was I?!

And here are my handsome boys modeling some of their outfits:

A little baking and A Chocolate Craving...

2008-08-27T21:49:00.006-04:00

We where all couped up in the house today due to rain. So I decided to do a little baking and try out a recipe I have had stuck to the fridge for like a month now.

First up is that recipe: Yogurt cereal bars from Stonyfield Farms Yogurt

2 cups corn flakes ( I used a granola cereal I had )

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 tea. cinnamon

Mix all these together in a bowl and then cut in 1/2 cup butter until course crumbs form.

Next mix:

1 cup flavored yogurt ( I used Stonyfield Vanilla )

1 egg slightly beaten

2 tb. flour

all together in a bowl

Grease a 8in. square pan and press down half of cereal mixture into bottom

Add your yogurt mixture and smooth out. Then add remaining cereal mix on top.

Bake 350 for 30 min.; cut into bars when cooled.

And now for the CHOCOLATE!!!!

Chocolate Hot Fudge Cake

very simple I buy a chocolate fudge cake mix, make according to box directions in a 13x9 pan

cool and cut in big pieces. Cut the piece in half length wise and put vanilla ice cream between two pieces. Then drizzle with hot fudge sauce and a very generous helping of whipped topping!! YUM

Unfortunate Events

2008-08-24T21:54:00.003-04:00

Well, since I have not done anything fun lately to post about I thought I would share a very unfortunate event. The other day I was at local retail store doing some back to school clothes shopping with all the kids and my mother-in-law. I am in the dressing room helping the boys try on some outfits when I somehow lose my footing...fall backwards...and slam my butt (tailbone) on the edge of there 3 inch thick, steel reinforced bench...OUCH!!! To and serious embarassment to my immense pain I start to pass out. My mother-in-law tells someone to call 911 and there I go out of the store on a stretcher to the ER. The result...broken tailbone and very bruised ego.

This is what we made...that is what we found

2008-08-16T11:51:00.005-04:00

THIS...

The other day we made prints in Sculpey clay. I had seen them awhile back on Plum Pudding and thought they were so cute. The origional idea was to collect things from nature and make a sort of fossil inprint. The boys didn'tseem to into it this day so I whipped out my stamps and my friend Ang and her daughter stamped our clay. It really turned out well, and of course we sat around brainstorming all the things we could now make with or stamps and clay:

Stamp names and use as place cards for Thanksgiving
Stamp small words and give as a set of inspiration stones, for maybe teacher gifts.
Stamp with Christmas stamp and make ornaments.

So many possibilities...what have you done with your Sculpey clay??

THAT...

is what we found playing about in the rain water collected by the baby inflatable pool.

Why????

2008-08-14T20:48:00.002-04:00

Sometimes I sit and wonder why boys do the things they do...why are they putting a child on the tire swing and then putting a metal chair in the path of the tire swing and then pushing child/swing into metal chair and they think this is great fun...why are they riding their bikes in the yard as one of them uses a piece of a tree branch (pointy, sharp piece no less) as a spear to be thrown into the bike riders wheel. AHHHH! BOYS!!

Makin' Crayons

2008-08-07T16:04:00.003-04:00

We made some crayons today...I haven't had much of the creative juice flowing lately and this was about all I could muster up today. The boys and I fished through the crayon bucket and took out all the broken pieces, then we peeled the papers off. I think I did most of the peeling. Next we broke them into tiny pieces and put them in mini muffin tins that I sprayed with a little non-stick spray. I let them set up in the freezer and they popped right out.

If you are in the mood to make some crayons yourself here are some other good ideas to check out:

Finger Painting

2008-07-31T21:15:00.008-04:00

Today we enjoyed some finger painting. I had this book from the library which I love! It has such cute ideas and step-by-step instructions. Plus, I tied into the Unplugged Theme this week which was "Flat" And here are our finished projects:

JJ's fall tree

And T-man's summer tree...

Of course Mommy's...I got a little carried away, who knew finger painting was so much fun!!

It's been a long time...

2008-07-29T19:25:00.003-04:00

I can't believe it has been two weeks since I have blogged. It has been crazy busy around here.

Here is a glimpse at what we have been up to.

Spending time at the beach...

Going down a giant slide...

Playing with cousins...

Eating the "worlds largest Popsicle"

We are back home now and will be posting lots of goodies so stay tuned!!!!

Treasure Stones

2008-07-14T12:45:00.002-04:00

This weeks theme over at Unplug Your Kids was stone. We made these Treasure Stones that I found in my Family Fun magazine a few months ago. The boys used a teeny screwdriver and little hammer to excavate their treasures. Here we have a marble...other treasures included a quarter, and extra board game pieces from Monopoly.

Brown Paper Bag Book

2008-07-11T20:55:00.003-04:00

I saw this cute idea for making a book with paper bags and thought the kids and I would give it a try. Super simple and very budget friendly. The boys were into the making part but not so much the decorating and using part. They loved using my crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the paper bags. Myself, being a lover of scrapbooking had no problems turning my plain ordinary book into a cute mini scrapbook.

Job Jars

2008-07-10T13:34:00.005-04:00

So everyday around here I find myself saying the same things over and over and over to my older boys..."BRUSH YOUR TEETH", "WASH YOUR FACE", "NO, YOU DIDN'T MAKE YOUR BED, GO BACK AND DO IT"...you know how it goes.

I came across this job jar idea over at Make and Takes, one of my favorite places to visit. I think she had found the idea here.

Anyway here are our versions:

The basic idea is the sticks start out "job side up" and after they complete the job they put the stick back in "colored side up."

I made some extra job sticks for weekly jobs. So at the start of the week each J and T will each pick two additional sticks to add to their jars and that will be there chore that week. I made one stick blank so they could win a freebie.

Nothing like the smell of fresh bread.

2008-07-07T16:02:00.004-04:00

Yesterday was a dreary wet day around here so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try a yummy rosemary peasant bread recipe I had seen here at Make and Takes.

It was delicious and super simple to make. The kids loved it. My 6 year old said to me, "Mom, I really like the way you seasoned this bread." We all enjoyed eating it with our spaghetti and homemade meatball dinner.

However, the second loaf met it's demise when I took the kids outside...returning to see remnants on the floor and our dog ducking into his kennel (and licking his chops on the way) :(

Happy 4th

2008-07-05T20:56:00.004-04:00

Hope everyone had a happy July fourth. We celebrates with a small local parade, complete with activities like "watermelon seed spitting contests" and "sack races", finished off with a yummy dinner of hot dogs and steaks on the grill, corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans, watermelon, and strawberry shortcakes with homemade whipped cream for dessert.

You Gotta Check This Out!

2008-07-03T22:25:00.006-04:00

To my extreme joy I stumbled upon this blog a week or so ago and she has this amazing online store.

Her philosophy is to "encouraging creative play through open-ended toys + supplies" Which is something I am all for.

Here are a few of my favorites over at the site:

So go check it out!

Hey, wait a minute wouldn't all those things work in my quiet time box?

Shhh...It's quiet time

2008-07-03T22:02:00.004-04:00

So just about everyday around here we have quiet time. This is something I grew up with as a child and now as a mother it is something I desperately need. However, my older boys always complain...you know it's like torture to make 10 and 6 year old boys sit still. My solution...

THE QUIET TIME BOX

Filled with various quiet things to do:

new drawing pad
crayons
small puzzles
new books
coloring book
Cranium grab and go game
flash cards

most everything came from the dollar store and I plan on gathering little things here and there to switch out in the box. The quiet time box only comes out at quiet time and everything must be put back in when done.

What works for you when a little QT is needed?

Scrub a Dub Dub...

2008-06-30T11:41:00.009-04:00

The kids and I got this really cool book at the library and have been waiting to try our hand at soap making. Here are the things you need: Soap base: clear glycerin soap

soap dyes, if you want to color your soap

a few of those bath scrubbies with the cord.

some sort of a dome shaped mold--I used disposable plastic drinking cups.

Step 1 Cut your soap base in pieces so you can melt it in your microwave. We started out with 30 seconds and then did 15 second intervals until soap was melted. Step 2 Once you soap is melted add you coloring dye and stir, we added about 10-15 drops of color. Step 3 Spray you cup/mold with cooking spray to easy the removal process. Place your scrubby in the cup or mold and CAREFULLY pour in your melted soap. I kept telling my kids "it is hot like lava" We also used a kitchen knife to hold down the scrubby while we poured in the soap. Also, make sure your cord is at the top. Step 4 Let them set and cool. I put ours in the fridge. Remove and enjoy!!

You could package them and give as a gift:

Or just hang them in the tub:

Crazy Critters

2008-06-27T17:18:00.004-04:00

We took a trip to Michael's today and picked up these cute little ceramic animals. The boys had fun painting them while the babies were napping. T-man adding some spots...will it be a dalmation? JJ is very into panda bears after seeing Kung Fu Panda The finished product!!

Shopping For the Kids...

2008-06-21T22:42:00.002-04:00

Went to Target today to get some clothes for the kids, courtesy of gift card from my mother-in-law. I needed a little shopping therapy... but I am thinking that baby strapped to my chest, baby in the shopping cart and two older kids walking near is a sign I should BE in therapy. Oh well! We actually had a pretty good time ( why is my back aching tonight? ) I sorta love the challenge of getting as much as I can for the money allotted. The boys all got about 4 tops and 4 bottoms a piece, little miss just 2 rompers ( she has the biggest wardrobe of all ). The two babies each got a new toy and the older boys a DS game to share, this one is their new favorite. Nothing for me though, I said to a friend the other day, " How sad is it that I don't even want to pay Target prices for my clothes anymore."

It's Library Day...

2008-06-19T11:20:00.008-04:00

...and here's our goodies. Does anyone else have trouble gettin' those books returned on time? My hubby jokes that there are wanted posters of me hanging at the library because I always owe them money. LOL.

Anyway, we had fun gathering our book and left with bags and arms overflowing. Magazines, cookbooks, and craft books for Mommy...Drawing, and animals books for JJ...my T-man was interested in picking some cookbooks and reading books, and I picked out music cds and video for the babies.

We enjoyed reading this book when we got home:

And doing some sketching from our drawing books:

Happy Father's Day!!

2008-06-15T21:28:00.013-04:00

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful, loving, hard working Dad's out there.

Collection From yummyflashy.blogspot.com

So for father's day my hubby requested his favorite sweet treat...Madelines. The older boys and I went to work.

Ingredients:

1 c. flour 1 tea. baking powder 1/4 tea. salt 3/4 c. sugar 2 eggs 1 stick of butter 1/2 tea. vanilla extract 1/4 tea. almond extract Step 1 Sift the flour and baking powder together Step 2 Cream the eggs, sugar, vanilla, almond, and salt together until light and fluffy. You should be able to swirl an 8 in the batter. Step 3 melt your butter and then gently fold in the flour mixture and butter to your creamed mixure, alternating a little flour, then butter, then flour, and then butter again. Step 4 you want to let you batter set in the freezer for about 15 min. (don't know why but the hubby says it's important) Step 5 Butter and fill your madeline molds, we use a teaspoon to scoop the desired amount. Bake at 350 for 11 minutes. Enjoy!!!

I've got the sewing bug.
