Who knows, maybe this will help you someday.
Mini (our toddler) likes to clear all surfaces in the house of their belongings. It’s just what she does, she’s very good at it. We have a table that happens to have a lamp on it. Go figure. One day she was clearing tabletops and the lamp fell [...]

Works For Me: Daily Routine Posters
Posted in All About Max, Works-For-Me-Wednesday on May 20, 2008 | 13 Comments »
Remember how I told you about Max’s need for routine a couple months after Mini was born? And how we were going to make some kind of poster to help him transition back into a schedule?
Well, I’m happy to report that our making-of-the-poster was a success. We made them about a month ago and [...]
WFMW: Writing With Preschoolers
Posted in Works-For-Me-Wednesday on October 16, 2007 | 14 Comments »
Three years ago at MOPS I heard a speaker give a talk on emerging literacy for preschoolers. She gave us tons of great tips and advice on how to develop a love for reading and writing at an early age. Long before our kids could ever, you know, actually read or write.
One of [...]

Works For Me: Folders
Posted in Works-For-Me-Wednesday on July 17, 2007 | 11 Comments »
This is just a simple WFMW idea but it’s really been helpful to me. I keep a standing-up stack of folders in the corner of my desk for every activity we’re involved in. I buy the higher quality tabbed folders at Staples in glossy bright colors (!!!) and I can label them with [...]
WFMW: Cooking Grease

Well, not actually cooking it.
My friend shared a super easy way to collect and discard cooking grease.
She lines a small Pyrex glass bowl with aluminum foil then pours the hot grease in it. Then she sticks the bowl in the freezer. When she cleans up the dinner dishes the grease has solidified [...]

Lately my 4 year old son has been driving me crazy with being impatient. I’m desperately trying to teach him that just because he’s dressed and ready to go out the door doesn’t necessarily mean I am. And if I’m busy doing other last minute things, then he is required to wait [...]

My son is learning how to write letters and to make it more fun, here’s what we did with some orange Kool-aid mix one day this week. I’m a big fan of sensory activities for this age, too, and this kept Max’s attention for a long while.
Of course, if I [...]
