If You Give a Mouse a Cookie from the Netflix Halloween episode. Shown are Pig, Mouse, Moose and Cat, my version. We had Pig (Piggy), Mouse, and Cat (Bartley from True and the Rainbow Kingdom and yes I know ours is pink and not black). I found Mouse at Sprouts this fall season. We realized…
Ants on a log, our version. We use carrots and today I had black (raisin) and red (craisin) ants. My son isn’t a big plain raisin guy but he’ll eat them as ants. #kids#kidfood#antsonalog#raisins#craisins
This is our thrifted costume for Book Character Friday. My son chose to be Oliver with Mouse from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” so made their outfits. He used his own navy shorts form school instead of jeans (he doesn’t like jeans and it was too hot for pants) and I planned to…
National Apple Day! How do you apple? We like slices and I like applesauce. About once a year I’ll make an apple pie. This is a pretty standard snack for my son at school. An apple, this one is Honeycrisp though he also enjoys Galas, and a homemade muffin. This muffin happens to be pumpkin…
New glasses today! I’ve been having trouble with oxidation and buildup on my old copper-colored glasses, so I talked through all of my concerns with Envision Eye Center and these new titanium glasses are supposed to take care of everything: oxidation, slipping down my nose, and the nosepieces causing indentations on my nose. I’m keeping…
My son’s school has a uniform resale store. I love it! The girls have the option to wear skirts and we were in desperate need for what are officially called pants hangers. Some of the skirts were double clipped two to a hanger, some were clotheslined or binder clipped to a regular hanger, it was…
I don’t even know how many families these have been through at this point, at least four. Cookies cutters, particularly for play dough, just keep on working and being great! So definitely bag them up and keep them moving along. We’re more of an activity set for play dough at this point so we rehomed…
My mother-in-law brought this down to us one day several years ago. This used to be in the game room at their house when my husband was growing up. He didn’t remember it, but I remembered it. We had it in my son’s play area for a while but he was never too attached. When…
My son had workbooks leftover from last school year. We did some of them during the summer but not much. I posted these on my local Buy Nothing Project Facebook group and someone asked for them. There are a lot of homeschool families, or just parents that want to offer extra help and lessons. You…
Does anyone else thing of Mater when they use the word “Modify!” I’m cutting down yard signs from one style to another, so instead of a milk-carton sleeve they fit the corrugated plastic signs.
