Books, books, books!  I absolutely LOVE books.  One of the main things I want to cultivate in Sweet Pea is a love of reading, and to do that, I started reading to her out of the womb.  However, now that she's 3, I am a thinking more about what exactly am I reading to her, which brought some big questions on my mind.How do I find good books for her right now?   How do I...

Do you ever feel like your kid's stuff has just overtaken every room of the house?Last year, I set up most of Sweet Pea's preschool items in our breakfast room next to the kitchen, which you can see here.  It worked great!However, I had also turned our front formal family room into her playroom, which she hardly used unless to get a book.  I really hated the fact that she hardly played...

Superheroes can be known for a lot of things: strength, speed, invisibility, and so forth. Today with our Superhero Unit from Mother Goose Time we studied the quality of SPEED.However, my girl is a cautious and quiet observer... she is definitely not known for her speed.Our first activity was supposed to be about how fast the child could match the letters, but we accommodated it to...

 It came! It finally came!Sweet Pea and I were so excited to see our new Mother Goose Time box on our doorstep Monday.  Lately, each time she sees it, she decides she has to ride the bus, aka sit on the box.She wouldn't give me a smile as she was too distracted by the dog in our yard. Today I only want to discuss the Welcome Getting Started Kit that comes with your first order or...

Superhero Study: Invisibility

Whenever I think of invisibility, I always think of God.  Specifically, I think of Joshua 1:9, "Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”We may not see our invisible God like we see the world around us, but that does not mean that He does not reveal Himself to us through His...

Please forgive the awful grainy and spotty pictures. My nice camera could not be used at the time, and my phone lens is shattered to high heaven which is why they look this way. #momlifeThis camping theme from Mother Goose Time has some of Sweet Pea's most favorite topics:Bears, Stars, Racoons, Moon, and Pinecones are just a few and today we did our star activities.She loves to change our Topic...

Rain, rain, go away.... come again some other day!It's been raining just about every afternoon 'round here, but that's not stopping us from camping out with our Mother Goose Time!  In fact, rainy days are the perfect days to build tents indoors, which is just what we did on Tent Day.A queen sized sheet, dining room chair, and old high chair were the perfect supplies to build our tent before...

First of all, I must apologize for the simply AWFUL pictures in this post.My Bible fell on top of my phone and shattered the camera lens. No amount of filtering can fully restore these images.  (my nice camera was borrowed over this week)I am in love with the Experience God pack from Mother Goose Time.Reasons why:It spends the entire month studying one truth about God.      ...
