Power up your repulsor gauntlets and dust off your batarangs because this Saturday is “Free Comic Book Day”! You read that right. Every year on the first Saturday in May, comic publishers partner with comic retailers to give away free comic books to the public.

With Spring definitely upon us we try to take advantage of being outdoors in nature every chance we get. The weather soared into the high 70’s and so I loaded up all four kids to check out the new bridge on our local walking path. They didn’t really know where I was taking them but after the short 5 minute drive we arrived at our destination.
My daughter figured out where we were going and was all excited. The boys got pretty excited too even though I have had complaints in the past about Nature Hikes, lol. I don’t care and take them out anyways. I told them this would count as PE, Science, and Language Arts if they drew me a picture of what they saw and wrote at least 3-5 sentences.

What do you do if you need to go back to work or are away from your nursling for very long? You will need to pump your breastmilk to feed to your baby later. Thankfully nursing bras are coming up with designs to help you achieve this hands-free with bras such as Nourish by BeliBea.

Princess has been blessed with naturally curly hair that is super springy. She takes after her dad which is wonderful until it’s time for to put her hair up for ballet or she wants a change. I grew up using a curling iron but bought a very inexpensive flat iron as an adult. I rarely do much with my hair but really want my daughter to be more confident in her skills. I will be teaching her how to use a flat iron hair straightener to achieve a variety of hairstyles more easily.
We will be using a Gurin Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron to see if we can straighten Princess’ super curly hair. I started out by plugging the flat iron in and turning it on to low. While the flat iron heated up Princess brushed through her hair.

I love the outdoors and nature and gardening but hate weeds! Each time I have gotten pregnant a new set of weeds has gotten the chance to take root. Some of these darn things have grown to be big enough to be considered small trees.
Well, this year we are taking back our flower beds, yard fence line, and our tractor tire. Que in my personal tree removal service aka 4 kids! My boys loved having the go ahead to dig in the tire after I cut back the crazy branches.
The fun really began after the soil was loose enough to wiggle the trees around. Each child took turns digging, wiggling, and pulling on the tree stumps. After just one day we successfully removed one broken tree but the roots remain. The 2nd tree has lasted three days so far which really is a good thing. I was worried that once the trees were gone that the tire would lose it’s appeal.
Another issue is shade for my fair skinned red heads! I tried using our large picnic table umbrella but it was too windy. Then Princess helped secure a tarp onto a few Shepherd’s hooks until the wind really picked up.
How about you, do you have yard work you’ve put off? Try to make a fun learning activity and the work will be done before you know it.
More projects we plan to tackle: water wall, mud kitchen, hopscotch path, painted rocks, strawberry pallet planters, Shady Playspace, Backyard Obstacle course, and many more fun activities i have collected from pinterest!
