Heather and I discussed the CPSIA on the Grace Talk podcast this morning and you can listen to it right here! Click on the arrow next to “Select a past episode,” and choose “CPSIA meets Dr. Seuss…”  It should load and stream from there. If this doesn’t work for you, you can also download the [...]

I signed up for this the other day and I think it will be a fun activity for us during the summer. Simply visit the site for The Great Sunflower Project, sign up with them, and they will send you sunflower seeds.  Plant the sunflowers and when they bloom, spend some time tracking how long [...]

Think these dogs have an easy life?  I can assure you they don’t!  I thought this picture was so cool, I had to include it.  I love Malamutes and Huskies. I would have one if I could.  (And yes, I do realize that I want one of *every* animal, but they are near the top [...]

I’ve decided that I’ve been remiss in not having my 3rd grade son do some creative writing. Frankly, I’ve been busy concentrating on trying to improve his horrific handwriting, but that’s not going so well.
