Paper Watch

My little boy has been bugging me to get him a watch so he can be "like daddy." So I wanted to try to make one on my Silhouette SD. Though, a paper watch won't last long it was nice to get some practice on my Silhouette. It was good practice for grouping, welding and print/cut. Plus my son loved it! And he's been so careful with it that it hasn't broke yet.

Easy to Make Lace Cards

I need something quick to keep my little guy busy. He's got all him puzzles and file folder games memorized! He could do them blindfolded! So I made these little lace cards. I simply printed on heavy cardstock, put some contact paper over them, punched a few holes and your done! A 5 minute project!

LDS Activity Books

I found out that you can print free LDS color/activity book's on the Living Scriptures website. Nice for FHE or helping kids be quite in sacrament meeting. They also the animated hero's like George Washington, Joan of Arc, etc. Click here for the link.

Stain Removal

I've been going through my son's baby clothes to get ready for boy #2 and have tried several different stain sticks but nothing has worked very well. I came across this solution somewhere online 1/2 cup warm water to 4 Tbs. baking soda. I mixed it and applied directly to the heavily stained areas then I made another batch and poured directly over and let it sit for 15 minutes then washed like normal. I was amazed! There was one very bad looking onesie that looks great now! Plus it gets rid of the smell too. It says that it will even get blood out. I was so amazed at the results that I got that I just had to share.

Toddler Activites

I try to help Robby learn new things all the time. We do lots of flashcards, books, games etc. But sometimes I'm not so creative, so I was blog searching and came across this really cool site called The Home Teacher. She has lots of great hands on activities to help your toddler learn. Check it out www.thehometeacher.blogspot.com
