healthy homemade popsicles for kids

healthy homemade popsicles for kids

Spring has sprung in Phoenix, and we are all loving the weather here.  With the warmer more cool weather comes the time to enjoy being outside, and the time to enjoy some nice cold healthy homemade treats. When Hazel first saw this popsicle mold she was anxious to use them and kept asking me if we could make popsicles. At first, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a good recipe and consistency that would work. But, we’ve found a new favorite flavor and are excited to share it with you.  … Read More

a condensed version of my weekend

a condensed version of my weekend

It practically rained all weekend. And for Phoenix it was quite an exciting time, we love the rain because it doesn’t happen too often. Hazel especially loves it, she loves to put her rain boots on and jump in the puddles. It’s all purely instinct becasuse I really don’t know where she learned it. haha! Don’t you remember all that from your childhood though? Splashing in the rain, running around like a wild person because it’s raining? Haha! Sounds silly, but that’s what I remember.

You love playing with baby dolls especially the new doll you got for Christmas, we call her Snacking Sara – even though she isn’t the “real thing” that doesn’t matter to you. You love to hold your babies, you pretend to feed them, you change their clothes-usually you just take their clothes off and then say naked baby! It’s the cutest thing… Read More

kid’s craft: Valentine’s Day gifts

kid’s craft: Valentine’s Day gifts

Hazel is really into crafting lately, she loves to paint pictures, glue crazy eyes onto paper, and she really enjoyed this Valentine’s Day craft. She especially loved that we got to make something for someone else -she and I have the same love language in that way I guess. This craft is really easy to do, but is fun and helps kids develop fine motor skills while also getting them thinking about giving to others. During the activity, Hazel and I talked about each cousin and what we thought they would like for Valentine’s Day…. Read More
