Bug Hunt!
Phew! Sometimes it’s hard to come up with new ideas to captivate your little ones for longer that it takes to create said idea. This activity was a winner on all fronts.

Paint Chalk Fun

St. Patrick’s Themed Foods
I love how easy this holiday is with just adding a splash of green food coloring to it to be festive! One of the things I love about St. Patrick was he used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity to all the people he’d preach to. So in a fun and tasty fashion I’d […]
