My goals for the month fell very short. I will admit that I got sick and pushed things aside to make sure my blog happened. It broke patterns I had and in some ways made me sad. I did not do as much reading as I wanted. I hope to start making more progress in…
This week was reading fun bug books! There were lots of fun and different books we read. I can’t believe another week has gone by for this month! It is going by so fast! How did your reading go? For us it went great. I got in more reading than I had expected. We read…

We had a hard time this week. It was not always easy to remember to do something. I did all the normal activities and a few days I did forget to do something different sensory. Every day we did at least play with the St. Patrick’s Day Sensory bin. They love to play with it….
Sensory has been really hard to remember. Some times little prep time to do and other activities take a lot more. I have to think are we doing sight, sound, taste, smell, or touch. If you are looking for suggestions check out my 31 Days of Simple Sensory Challenge Post or Royal Baloo’s. There are…

It has been a fun change for us doing something different every day. It is a challenge because I have to remember to prep a lot more for fine motor than I did from gross motor. The girls are giving suggestions as well. Once or twice a week I give them a list of things…
At first I thought fine motor would be easier to do than gross motor challenge was. In some ways it has been harder. I have to make sure I’m prepared every day to do something. It has been fun to make sure we change it up every day. Fine motor is fun and with different…

In April we started the 30 Days of Moving with Kids. It has been so much fun for the girls and I! We did a lot of walking outside. We went to parks. We did some gross motor inside: rolling and jumping like frogs. So far we plan to keep going with this challenge. The…
Over the past 2 weeks we have done a lot of walking around and just looking outside and enjoying the good weather. The girls love to try new things. We spun around on the floor in both directions until they were dizzy, then tried it again. We did some running around at the Dinosaur Place….
