I love to hear the little feet running through the house.  It is a sound of healthy and happy little ones.

One day these feet will not be so small.  "Time is like a flowing river, no water passes beneath your feet twice, much like the river, moments never pass you by again, so cherish every moment that life give you."  I sure am cherishing these little feet!

Getting ready for my little guys baptism had me snapping some photos.

I love this picture below, with big brother soft arm/hand reaching out to my hand and big sis reaching over for a smooch.

I have been brainstorming a wreath idea, when one day while eating one of my favorite nuts,  pistachio it hit me.  

1st bought foam ring at Dollar Store. Then painted white.

After press and glue in shells on all sides, I add a little glitter to give it some sparkle.  

If you like me,  I hate the strings you get with hot glue.  HINT: Use a hair dry and all the glue strings melt away.

My little guy is missing his routine.  He asked and asked to
 P L E A S E go eat at grandma pizza place.  He sure misses it!

Got to eat it.  One on the pizza and one in his mouth.  Made us laugh!

Had to work off his pizza. Enjoyment.

I like this last photo because my nephew never let's me take pictures of him.  He said "it make to many memories." How I love to see photo of him when he was my little guy age.  I remember all joy he gives me!

This week we have a star student,  Isabella.  At beginning of year the teacher had each student pick a letter and Isabella picked I as her favorite letter.  So, this week is her week to shine and she love it.  Posting few things I putting together for her to take in to share.  

Here special treat is ice cream.  I made sticker and scratch off for her friends.  I just modify the one's I used for her b-day last year.

Every moment is a teachable.  Being a teacher, I always feel like there never enough time to teach everything to my students.  The same sense applies to my own children.  So, what I like to do is make each moment count.  I will leave few of their assignments that they brought home from school in a basket.  Then while I am preparing dinner I will grab one or two and have them practice.  I found by leave a few assignments out at time and just rotate them, that the get excited about seeing something they did awhile ago.  It good because I am able to see what they retained.

Or I will come up with activity on the fly.  Like below, I put water in bowl and let them put their toys in it so see what things float and sink and why.  I think they wanted to put all their toys in. Simple concept but never assume kids know, and it can always lead to more complex thought. 

My favorite critiquing a painting, better yet Mommy painting.  They tell truth not just it pretty or cool.  No fear!

Or just find a neat idea and see if it works.... 
Edible Play Dough.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup
2 cups of powdered sugar or powdered milk

Mix with hands.  Used cookie cutters and other play dough materials.

Making learning fun is always best but better yet learn and not realizing you are learning, awesome.  My motto
