I pulled out a pair of socks from my 5 year old’s drawer. I believe they’re child size 6 to 10? They fit perfectly over top of the water bottles. If you have any mismatched pairs of socks, those would be ideal, but go figure, I couldn’t find any today. And I felt too guilty to raid the “stitch up the holes” pile of Elsa socks, rainbow socks and Easter bunny socks that have been sitting next to my sewing machine for months....

My two year old is learning to manipulate me. Now it’s my fault really, because I’m a complete sucker for it.

My mom likes to tell a story about me from when I was two years old and saw a small patch of blue amid a cloudy sky in the middle of winter. I was very confused and kept asking, “What’s that?” while looking up at the sky. It had been so long since I had seen a blue sky that I had actually forgotten that they existed! Somehow even now, decades later, I still feel about the same every winter....
My favourite thing about this paper roll windmill is that the blades actually spin. It’s ridiculously satisfying to watch it spin when you’re done!

It was like I was putting all those years of education to good use… well… I don’t know if this qualifies as “good” use, but it sure was a fun way to use my skillz!...

We don’t have a sidewalk in front of our house and our driveway and patio are made from interlocking brick. So it’s kind of hard for the kids to get overly creative with sidewalk chalk in the summer. Our patio ends up looking like a giant mosaic, with each brick coloured a different colour than the one next to it. Which is cool, but kind of limits their creativity. The kids LOVED that I let them play with the chalk inside the house!...
