The previous Thursday before Independence Day, I took the kids to the mall to play. There is an open kids play area not too far from JC Penny. Children always seem to enjoy playing there. My kids (well, the toddler) played for about an hour or so, then we went back home. Here are some photos – Yes, I take way too much photos! Huge
Since yesterday was a holiday, my hubby decided to also take today off for a trip to the zoo. It was our first one this summer. We left home around 9:30 am and returned around 2:45 pm – good timing. Once again, the kids did well. We first stopped at my hubby’s new work office – same place of employment, but a new office since
Our day today on the 4th was filled with fun activities. This morning we went to see a parade in the village at 9:00am. The baby did not fall asleep and she and her sister were very good! I got a shot of the Town’s Mayor, too. However, the photo just would not upload unto the blog:( After the parade, we went home, and everyone
For her second birthday, Nov. 29, 2012, we kept it small. We only invited two of our close family friends. Our theme this year was Rubber Duckies. Somehow, I just could not find balloons and other party decor with duckies. Most places had the Tweety Bird, instead.

We started of the morning by heading to the Schaumburg District Library- Got there around 9:00 am. We have been wanting to take them on a regular basis for some time now, with only one car, it is kind of difficult. My husband uses it for work. (She loves, loves letters and wants me to take those down for her). This is not just any
Cooking with my 2 and 1/2 year old toddler. One activity my 2 year old and I enjoy doing together is cooking/baking. We started sometime back in January, 2013, when she was around 25 months old. She loves to stand on a chair and help me pour and mix ingredients. Moreover, she loves eating the ingredients, too, especially flour. Yikes! Anyway, cooking together is a great way to
Quiet Time Bins Activities My toddler is now 2 and 1/2 years old. Her nap time seems to be pushing further back in the day. I need something to keep her occupied and quiet for a few minutes a day – just for her to calm down and hopefully, fall asleep. Not to mention, with two little ones, I need a small window of time to regain
Make these fun Pasta Necklaces and Bracelets with Rigatoni Pasta for a fun Rainy day craft with your kids. Making pasta necklaces is by far one of our daughter’s favorites, and I think mine, too.
