This week’s theme over at Muffin Tin Monday is “Dr. Suess”.  Bubba loves the Dr. Suess books – I think it’s the fun rhymes.  When he was younger, hubby and I read Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? so many times, we had it memorized!
Right now, Bubba is really like The Eye Book and The Tooth Book so I thought I would have his tin include foods that are fun to see and fun to bite or chew.
Here’s my plan:
- Grapes (round like eyes and yummy to bite and chew)
- …

Welcome to the “week in review”, according to our 2-year-old son, “Bubba”.
My Favorite Toy this Week:

I really enjoyed playing with my two cars, one blue one and one red one, that I got last week for my birthday.  I line them up and have them chase each other along the edge of the tables, the pack ‘n’ play, on the carpet – pretty much anywhere I can.
My Food of the Week: Oatmeal!
 
Mommy makes me a bowl of oatmeal each morning for breakfast.  I really like oatmeal.  She put honey in it …

Wow, I haven’t written a “crafting away” post in quite a while… Things have been pretty busy around here for us!
Valerie over a Frugal Family Fun has a great tutorial on how to make your own scratch and sniff!
I thought for sure that it had to be some complicated process but it’s so easy!
This will be a fun one that Bubba and I will have to try… maybe we can make something fun to give out as favors at his and his Baby Sister’s upcoming birthday party!  I should keep …

…that the kids can make themselves (well, for the most part)!  Is this little stuffed toy a cute one? 
And you could really have them be anything the kids are interested in!
Valerie at Frugal Family Fun has so many great ideas for crafts and activities to do with the kids!  Her site is definitely worth looking around while you’re there.

This week’s theme at Muffin Tin Monday is ABC’s/123’s.  I decided to focus on the ABC’s with the following:
Apple Juice
AlphaBits Cereal
StrawBerry Banana Yogurt
Bread
Cheese
Crackers
And they’re all supposed to be in the shape of an A – kinda…

Welcome to the “week in review”, according to our 2-year-old son, “Bubba”.
My Favorite Toy this Week:
This has to be, hands down, my Thomas the Train toys.  I have three – Thomas, James, and Molly – and I can tell you each of their names and what color they are.  I love lining them up in a row and having them “chase” each other.
My Food of the Week: Yogurt!
Mommy was able to get a really good deal on yogurt at Target last week so we’ve been eating it with lunches. I love it!  …

Last night, the kiddos and I were out and about running some errands.  One of the stops we had to make happened to be located right next to a pet store.  
I had never taken Bubba into a pet store (since we have none right now) so I thought it might be fun to go in and see what animals they had on display. 
Bubba absolutely loved it!
We saw lots of fish in the aquariums – Bubba said hi to all of them and tried to count them.  He named some of their …

Wow, the great ideas just keep coming today! 
How cute are these Ruffle Butt Onesies?!
I never thought I would be a fan of baby girl outfits that have the ruffly bottoms… that was until we had our Baby Girl.  Now I love them!
If you don’t have a serger, scroll down in the tutorial for other options for making these cute onesies. 
These would make great gifts for a baby shower!

How smart is this idea for the little ones!?!
Get a great tutorial on how to make your own rain gutter book shelves at Raising Olives.
You might want to look around her site while you’re there – having 10 kids and homeschooling all of them, Kimberly has to know a thing or two about organization!

Okay, this idea is SUCH a good one if you have a spare wall in your house! 
What a fun way to display the kiddos’ artwork!  And it’s surprisingly simple to create…
If you don’t have a whole wall to make magnetic – what about painting a square on the wall and nailing trimwork around it as a frame?
