Winter Fun in Minnesota

by summers1405 February 7, 2020.

I know that Minnesota can get a little rough in the winter, but we try to enjoy as much of it as we can and get outside every chance we get. Last week we journeyed out to see the Bartz brothers snow sculpture and the Ice Castles. It was great because this year they were…

Books We Love: Waiting for Winter

by summers1405 January 10, 2020January 10, 2020.

*Affiliate links may be included.*   Waiting for Winter is an adorable and silly book about some winter animals who were trying to figure out what snow was. They discovered one thing after another that fit what they thought snow was….only it wasn’t. I’m sad this book is out of print now because we love…

Snowman Math FREE Preschool Printable Activity

by summers1405 January 6, 2016January 7, 2016.

Since John is finally on board with us homeschooling the kids, I figured I should kick my planning into high gear.  While Maggie isn’t old enough for kindergarten yet, I figured that since John is laid off right now, he could get a glimpse of what our day is like.  First up was some Snowman…

Top Winter Babywearing Gear

by summers1405 February 2, 2015February 2, 2015.

Having a baby in the fall means you will have a little baby through the winter.  Duh, right?  If this is your first baby and you have the option to just stay inside, that works great for your little one, but if it’s not your first one, you are probably going to have to go…

A few things from our week in pictures

by summers1405 January 28, 2014January 28, 2014.

We had a pretty fun week.  Although the temps have been in the negatives, that is nothing new these days.  I won’t complain, it just requires some thought on new, different things to do with the kids.  Like indoor swimming in the hot tub {with the temp turned down, don’t mind the steam, the room…

by summers1405 January 7, 2014.

You may not know this about me, but I wear flip flops in winter.  Since having two kids, I’ve adjusted a little.  While getting in and out of the truck with one kids wasn’t a big deal, two kids in carseats meant more time outside.  I had to protect my feet, so now, if it’s…
