DIY Light Table
I’m famous for seeing something on Pinterest, thinking it looks easy and then bombing it royally. And heaven forbid I want to take a Pinterest idea and “tweek” it a little! I’m surprised my husband gives any of my Pinterest inspired ideas a second thought, much less a chance. But sometimes, just sometimes, they work!…

Co-Op Fun: Cookies!
This week for co-op we combined snack and art – and decorated gingerbread men! As many of you know, Pip is gluten free and dairy free. So I took the responsibility of making cookies for the class. I found this recipe and they turned out quite yummy! My coconut milk wouldn’t solidify, so we used…

Gaming: Koala Capers
My mom stumbled upon this game on Zulily a few months ago. She thought it looked perfect for Pip. Sure enough! He loves it! Caption reads: A lot of people ask how I adapt and play games with Pip (who turns three in January). This is a sneak peak of a game we just opened…

Gaming: Seek-A-Boo

Co-Op Fun: Train vs. Subway
Another Monday, another fun day at co-op! Today we talked about trains and subways. We discussed what was same and different between them and watched short YouTube videos about each!

Co-op Fun: Fall Books!
I’m going to go ahead and say it. I do NOT like how my library organizes the children’s book section. I get that seeing the covers can work well for the littles. But as an SLP, homeschool mom and co-op host… it’s a nightmare! So, I cheat. I go on and request all the books…

Co-Op Fun: Adding Things
Caption Reads: As co-op continues, I add new things to the schedule to challenge and engage our little group. They are masters of our circle and lesson time, while craft time is getting stronger each week. So, today I added a group story and music element to wrap up our school day. The book in…

Co-Op Fun: Drawing Journal
Pip is really beginning to color, paint, glue, cut… his crafty side is starting to show! I found some great art journals at Michaels, used my 40% off coupon and we are now keeping track of his fine motor abilities as we journal and create inside our book! https://www.instagram.com/p/8EDKkBQJe3 -Tara

Then and Now: Changes since the frenectomy
So much has changed for Liam since we corrected the lip tie and tongue tie. I don’t even know where to begin! Nursing: I convinced myself that Liam had just become a very efficient nurser – when in actuality, his latch would fatigue due to the lip and tongue tie! The first 24-36 hours after…

Scrunchy: Vacuum Cleaning!
With a toddler, 120 lbs Shepherd mix and overall active family, my floors see a lot of traffic. Fur dust bunnies grace every corner of my house after just a few days of not vacuuming…. You get the picture! Yesterday, as I was switching out the vacuum cleaner bag, a childhood memory popped into my…
