Hey, Rachel! So fun to see my little’s picture on your blog! The dog got a hold of the sewing heart today. Many tears! I didn’t realize how much she was attached to it! I guess I should take that as a good sign that she takes pride in her work! Anyway, I’m planning a fun craft the next time Lane is with us too! It’s fun to work on them with the littles!

Thank you for the great links! There were a couple that were really timely for us. I am wondering how all of the boy Moms do not have both legos and cars killing their feet? Seems like almost every gift our little guy has gotten since he was 6 months old has been legos, cars, and some sort of ball. And, AND I am convinced they act like rabbits while we sleep.

Our girls are sorta sharing a room . . . our four year old is sleeping with us for the time being, though. That won’t last forever. I loved sharing a room with my sister when I was growing up. So many fun memories!

I don’t know if this is a tip so much as it’s just a helpful link, but one great resource for finding great craft activities for little ones is Kids Craft Weekly – http://kidscraftweekly.com/index.html

Awesome links as always, Rachel! Hope y’all are all settled in the new place and that you are getting lots of rest and taking it easy, mama!

It’s such a blessing to brainstorm other ideas. With my five ranging in age from 5-15, we have lots of fun things that we do, but I’ll share a simple one that I just posted about…tea parties all day long.
It’s the Little Things that are the Big Things.

They do still make those. My son got one for Christmas and it is great. It holds about 100 cars and has sections for larger and smaller cars. We purchased it at Wal-Mart. Amanda @ Mommy's Idea Book´s last blog post..Sophie’s Heart by Lori Wick

Yes, for every general comment there will always be an exception, and personal needs should be considered.

When I was a kid, we had a matchbox car case, with a little pull-out plastic tray that had one spot for each matchbox car. It was kind of like an ice-cube tray for matchbox cars. Not that that's helpful now, but I know at least they USED to make them. SavvyChristine´s last blog post..Keep a Pen Handy Tutorial

Thanks for the tip on energetic kids--my 4 year old son has been cooped up all winter, so he's rarin' to go right now! I liked the tip about the legos too, although here it's little cars that get stepped on. alexis´s last blog post..alexis vega commented on the blog post 'Book Club: Life Management for Busy Women by Elizabeth George'
