Tot School- Dr. Seuss Style Tot Trays

February 19, 2013 By Thaleia 21 Comments

Tot School- Dr. Seuss Style Tot Trays

 

 

I may finally be ahead of the game so to speak! I keep saying that I will participate in “Virtual Book Club for Kids” and then forget to see which author is picked for the month! Low and behold I came across the announcement that Dr. Seuss was the next author. The perfect choice since I had planned to share some Tot Trays with Dr. Seuss Style anyways!

Dr. Seuss- Something 2 Offer

Last year for Big Red’s 2nd birthday we had a Dr. Seuss theme. I created some activities for Tot School then, but was not blogging and have not shared them, yet! Plus we have lots of new things to share. This first post will showcase TEN Dr. Seuss Themed Tot Trays!

Emergency Preparedness: Do your Research (Become a Prepper)

February 9, 2013 By Thaleia 2 Comments

Emergency Preparedness:

Do your Research (Become a Prepper)

I’ve been spending quite some time researching all sorts of topics to do with Emergency Preparedness. I want to prepare but I want to be informed as to why and how my family can prepare. I want to be assured I have thought things through and not just jumped onto the bandwagon. I have joined a local group of families that are learning about Emergency Preparedness and Homesteading skills. I have volunteered to teach about 72 Hr. Kits or Bug Out Bags as you may have heard them called!

The next few weeks I will be sharing what I have learned as well as what our family has done to prepare. You may remember me dabbling into this subject in the fall with my articles: 10 Steps to Getting Prepared for an Emergency and Emergency Preparedness: Are you Prepared?

10 Valentine’s Tot Trays

February 5, 2013 By Thaleia 23 Comments

10 Valentine’s Tot Trays

Why is it when holiday’s seem close together that it is hard to transition from one to the other? In January I thought about Valentine’s activities, but have not gotten them all out till last week or printed until today! I did spend an entire afternoon searching our back porch for my Valentine’s stuff, with the help of my sister, to find them sitting on a high shelf!

Lil’ Red has been enjoying these trays. Some he will do over and over. Other’s he will appease me with a one time completion. Today Princess was home and helping engage him. When he got done with a few he shouted, ” Yah, I won the game. I did it!” Made me smile and so glad that he did his schoolwork without complaining or difficulty! Time to up his trays I think to more difficult/preschool learning.

Yes, Spiderman did make an appearance last week during Tot School!

We’re Growing and so are the Hill Family!

We’re Growing and so are the Hill Family!

Hill family Adoption

Since I have not made an official announcement but hinted here and there: BABY #4 is on it’s way! Yes, a very good surprise even through all the “all-day” sickness (since it’s not just in the am:) The kids are very excited and Lil’ Red cannot wait to love and hold the new baby!

A wonderful blogger friend of mine, Christie Hill and hubby just found out that they are the chosen adoptive parents of a little girl to be born April 6! This is wonderful news as adopting a 2nd time wasn’t 100% their plans but God’s plan for their family. They have one precious little girl through adoption already.
