Pinterest Tuesday: It's November Edition

Wow!  I cant believe it's already November!!  Welcome back to Pinterest Tuesday!  Today should actually be called the I'm sorry it's a bit late we were out late Trick or Treating last night edition :), so I hope you will forgive me.  

We had some adorable ideas last week and I have a few favorites to highlight!

Christina at The Only Thing Pink in a World Gone Blue shared one of the easiest recipes I have ever seen (I dont cook so this is important) and they look SO yummy!!  These Pumpkin Bites will make a great holiday treat in our home.

Let Kids Create shared a yummy idea for eating out of a pumpkin!!  Now, I know Halloween is over, but this would make a great Thanksgiving idea, too (just leave off the smile face).

Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational has a super fun idea to use a drum to help identify syllables in words.  Dont have a drum?  That's okay because she gives a tutorial on how to MAKE a drum.  

And Kristina from Mommy's Monkeys shared a whole post of fun learning trays.  My favorite was this open and close tray with fun activities inside each container.

God Bless and Happy Pinning!

Pinterest: Scary World Series Edition

As a die-hard Cardinal's fan, I am anxiously waiting game 6 tonight in St Louis.  Last night, as I typed up this post, I was biting my nails as the game turned from fun and promising to down right scary, lol!!  I guess it makes this the perfect time to highlight some adorable Halloween crafts that you amazingly creative mommas posted last week.  Maybe they will scare the Rangers?  (no offense to any of you who are rooting for them :) )

Here are my top 4 favorites:

Mama Pea Pod and her sweet little girl made this fun and simple pumpkin suncatcher.

Hannah at Paint on the Ceiling made this super cute Silhouette Puzzle for her daughter.  I cant wait to make this for my children!

Jessie at The Preschool Experiment made an adorable felt Roll a Pumpkin game!

And Andie Jaye at Crayon Freckles made the cutest pumpkins EVER with toilet paper and material.  I am simply in LOVE with these little decorations!!  

Hmmm I meant to choose scary decorations, oh well :).

Pinterest Tuesday: Cold Fall Day Edition

Happy Tuesday!!!  It is a dreary and cold fall day here, and I have had the heat on for 24 hours.  I am looking forward to checking out your creative ideas to brighten my day.  

First, though, here are a few of my favorites from last week:

Let Kids Create made these adorable luminaries from old jars (which we have a lot of).  Perfect for little pumpkins.

Vicky at Mess for Less turned an unexpected art project into a beautiful fall banner.

CrayonFreckles offered a simple tutorial on making colored glue.

And, Amanda at Nursery Rhymes and Fun Times made up a great set of Rain Forest Nomenclature cards to share!!

Pinterest Tuesday! Apple Edition

Well, I hope you didnt mind our week off last week.  Things were a bit crazy here :).

I have a few entries from 2 weeks ago that I would like to feature.  

The day that Explorer was born, I was supposed to teach our Homeschool Co-op Preschool group.  The theme was apples.  Little did I know that it would be the only day that I absolutely could not be there, nor could I manage to send all the materials for the trays I had made up.  *Sigh*  But, in preparation I researched many blog posts about apples.

I was thrilled to have Deb from Living Montessori Now link up her collection of Apple unit trays and ideas!  It was perfect for inspiration and a ton of printables!

The Only Think Pink in a World Gone Blue also posted this adorable apple craft and a recommendation for the book 3 in 1: A Picture of God.  It is now on my book list!

Well, not about apples, but the cutest pumpkin ever!!  Being a new mummy again, this Mummy from Pam's Party and Practical Tips caught my eye.  I just love him!

And my flat out favorite this week was the Pirate party from Honey Bee Books.  Great little boy's party idea!

I am looking forward to reading all your creative ideas this week!  I missed them last week!

Happy Linking and God Bless!

Pinterest Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!!!! 

Well, I wasnt creative enough to come up with an edition title this week.  I should probably call it the I wish this baby would hurry up and be born, but not really because its a little early and I'm not quite ready edition.  But, yeah, that wouldnt fit in the title :).

But, YOU were creative this week, even if I wasnt!

Here are some of my favorites (really they are all my favorites and I swear one of these days I'm just going to use the random generator to pick because its VERY hard to pick four!!):

Ticia at Adventures in Mommydom has put together the CUTEST Noah's Ark craft.  I really dont want you to miss this because printables with cute Bible characters are hard to find, IMO.  She went all out!

Tracey and her son at Musings of the Monroes created Toasty the Robot to go along with a great lesson on robots.  Isnt he cute??  I love all the recycled bits used to make him!

Brook at Let Kids Create let her kids create my kind of art!  They made colorful fun pictures out of glue and colored rice!  No mess-at least no paint or other stain causing mediums!  She and her kids made these outside, so other then a little sweeping, no mess at all!

And one more great idea this week is this FANTASTIC sensory bin!!  Jessica at Little Tiger Growing Up appealed to all the senses with her 'Shape Bin.'  I love the use of color and textures in addition to the shapes.  

If you were featured, here is a button to put on your blog if you would like!  And, I didnt realize until now that the link I gave last week was NOT right.  I'm going to go back and fix it, but I wanted to let anyone who tried to grab last weeks that it was messed up!!  Sorry!  I'm blaming it on the new blogger interface-because I am sloooow like that!

Pinterest Tuesday-Harvest Edition

Well harvest is in full swing here, which means that I have a little less blogging time and a lot more mommy demands.  But, watching the huge combines and tractors change our scenery in a matter of minutes is amazing even to a 30 something girl :).

Harvest makes me think of pumpkins and costumes and candy.  Which is why I loved this first pin.  The Princess and the Tot has made up this fun game printable where you EAT candy corn.  I think I'll play this one all by myself!!

To work on the big tractors and combines, you often needs some tools.  Our Little Monkeys has made an adorable set of printables with a tools theme.  Dont miss them!!

And, well, the last to features dont really follow the 'harvest theme,' but I loved them!

If you have followed my blog for any amount of time, you know I have a think for peg people.  So, when Little Red Farm posted these adorable gnomes, I was in love!!  I will be on the lookout for these wooden cuties!

Last up is this AMAZING gift idea from Paint on the Ceiling.  She made these puzzles-all by hand-out of blocks.  I love her painting abilities, I'm worried mine wont look near as nice, but I hope to try my hand at these this fall!

Pinterest Tuesday-It's September Edition!

Welcome back to Pinterest Tuesday!!! So, wow, it's SEPTEMBER already!! Summer certainly flew by, but I am sooooo glad to have cooler temperatures outside! The long stretches of 100 degree days were a little much for this preggo!

Last week you all had some fantastic ideas (as always) and I want to highlight a few of you to start out this week's posting:

We are in the middle of birthday season at our house so this one really caught my eye. I know that Mustang would LOVE to have a birthday seat like the one that Allie shared at Freshly Completed. I'm thinking I may have to make the one like her mother made this year, and hope to have a sewn one next year!

While we are on birthday party ideas, Esther at Creativity My Passion provided a wonderful tutorial on how to make your own pinata!! I LOVE the pull string idea as last year my amazing SIL made Mustang a real pinata, and somehow it fell off the string and knocked my nephew down. YES it was funny, but could have turned out very badly. I'm thinking a pull string one would be a great change for our next party!

Switching gears over to school planning, I want to make sure you dont miss out on these adorable money printables from Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational. She also shared a super idea of having a 'hold up.' Her son had to count the money after and figure out how much she took.

And I really liked these watermelon cards and counters at All My Baby Birds. They are simple, effective, and SUPER cute-my kind of math manipulatives.

I am really looking forward to all the creative things you have in store for this week!! Happy Pinning and God Bless You!!

Pinterest Tuesday-Back to School Edition

Are back to school at your house? Well, we are certainly 'back to school' around here, though we have been in MOST of the summer this year. This means a little more structure and a little more balancing act for me, but always worth it!! It also means more lesson planning.

Last week you all posted some ADORABLE things!!! I loved every single one of them!! But, I was able to narrow it down to 4 to highlight here. Maybe you will want to use them in your lesson planning.

First up is this super cute, easy and adorable Samson and Delilah Godly Play set at The Busy Little Bee. I will totally be copying this when we get to the Samson and Delilah story!!

Next are these awesome color sorting tubes-made from old toilet paper rolls!! Princess and the Tot has this and soooo many other great ideas for your Tot Trays!!

Is harvest about to start around you? Ask a local farmer if you can have a few ears of corn (ask nicely, there arent that many this year *sigh*) and turn them into a painting medium. Lori at La-La's Home Daycare brings us this great fall craft.

And last but certainly not least. Deb at Living Montessori Now has come up with this awesome photography tray!! Mustang is going to LOVE this one!! She has her own camera, I'm just always too afraid to let her use it. I cant wait to get it out for this tray!!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE! Thankfully, my guests were late. Happy Pinning!

OH for goodness gracious sake! I'm SO SORRY for how the linky was working (or um NOT working) while I was away today. I had to redo the whole thing. So, if you had already linked up I had to go back and link you up again. If you dont like how I did it PLEASE feel free to email me and I'll delete so you can put up what you want. But, I didnt want your link to be gone. The links are awesome!! Hopefully, that was the last of the craziness this week. I learn something new everyday!
