I really want an iPad 2 for Bug. Here is a giveaway going on at little chief honey blog! Stop by her blog to enter.

What do you think? It's bright and colorful. It is my first attempt at crocheting. Our Messianic Rabbi's wife taught me how to do it. Not my first choice in colors but, it was the color I had around for crafts. I wasn't even sure that I would like crocheting when she first suggested I learn. I love it. It is kinda relaxing and considering all the time we spend at Dr. office and the hospital and just waiting around at different activities. It has kept my hands busy and just plain old relaxing. I don't have to much time at home so I am usually doing it when I am waiting.

Little man loves it and declares," that when he cuddles with the blanket it's my mommy giving me a hug!" How sweet is that! I guess I won't balk to much at the color with those loving words. I added in the green for him. He picked out the green and that he thought was pretty neat. Since it is his favorite color. I am now working on Bugs afghan-pink and purple. It is pretty gorgeous if I say so myself. 

Many blessing and have a blessed day!

It is no secret for those who know us or have been over to our home that my kids love any toy they have to use their imagination with. I love watching them play. They make me laugh and smile at the things they come up with.

I had to laugh the other day when I was helping Little Man find something. I am an organized person overall. I have trained the kids with the motto, "everything has its own place".  They are pretty organized generally. When I start hearing them ask me over and over to help them find something I know its time for us to straighten things out again. Usually its after several play dates at the house.

Anyways, I have lots of plastic containers for toys. Each bin is for something specific. I had to chuckle at how many containers have Fisher Price Imaginext toys in them! We just love them.

Little Man's floor of his closet is wall to wall in Imaginext toys!

Imaginext people!

Imaginext animals!

More animals and an alien!

All those cool gadgets that come with the Imaginext play sets!

Imaginext airplanes and the dragon!

We don't want to forget about the dinosaurs.

That is not all the Imaginext toys. We still have a couple more bins of Imaginext toys. They provide hours of fun. Lots of adventures have been created. Mom and Dad love that the toys are durable. I can honestly say we have not had one break. Little Man is not always gentle-he's a boy and he plays hard. Bug loves them also and creates her own adventures. Little Man wants more of the play sets. I have no idea where they will go but I am sure I can find a place or another container to fit more into.

I won a giveaway on one of the blogs that I like to read regularly. I don't usually enter to many giveaways. I was interested in this one because of Little Mans eczema and allergies that he suffers from. I honestly didn't think I would win because she has a large reader base, but I did. I am glad that I entered it because as you already know I won a Quilted Twin Topper from Naturepedic. The cost is $99.00. I love the fact that is made from organic cotton fabric and that means no chemicals in the growing of their cotton, and it is even made in the USA. Little Man thinks he has a new mattress. In his words, "it is so comfy Mom come and try it out with me tonight" Got to love it when they say such cute things. Naturepedic even has organic sheets which I will have to look into for him at some point. Blessings <><

I don't know about you but, I enjoy lapbooking and unit studies. I enjoy making my own. Most of the time I'd rather do a pre-made lapbook. Lapbook Lesson is giving away two of them. One is The American Revolution, and Colonial Life they are from Homeschool in the woods, which I love all their products. To enter you have to go to this link.

Have a blessed day!
