Pipe Cleaner Fun

ByErin April 2, 2014May 4, 2021

I’m always on the lookout for any little thing that might entertain or interest Little Man. This simple activity was a surprising hit (even the Big Guy thought it was really cool!).

You just need a plastic bottle, pipe cleaners, and a strong magnet.

Cut up the pipe cleaners and put them in the bottle.

Screw on the lid and use the magnet to move the pipe cleaners around in the bottle. It’s surprisingly entertaining!

This year we wrote down several ideas for “gratitude activities” and put them in our Thanksgiving Activities Jar. We’d like to do one activity each day, but we’re doing them as we have…

How to Survive A Pandemic with Young Boys

ByErin March 4, 2021April 14, 2021

“How to survive a pandemic with young boys.” Boy that sounds dramatic. But the truth is that’s what we may feel like we’re doing…just “surviving”. What about living? Really living? Is that even possible right now? I say it is. In fact, in some ways I feel like we as a family are living more…

These last few months have been tough, and this summer isn’t going to look “normal” for any of us, so some easy summer activities at home are going to have to take the place of some of those typical summer activities. There aren’t many places opened in our area yet, so we’re going to get…

Adventures In The City

ByErin June 18, 2013May 4, 2021

It’s been over seven weeks since we made the trek from Colorado Springs to the Denver area, and we’ve had many an adventure since then! The Big Guy is working enough for the both of us, so I am now officially a stay at home mom. It’s something I’ve wanted from the moment I laid…
