This little sweetie turns FIVE this weekend!
It’s no secret I don’t plan my posts. I just get up every morning and figure out what I want to share with you. Here’s the mommy wisdom I wish to impart today: Go play with your kids!
She’s lived a life of playground exploring and testing since the inception of this blog when she was the ripe playground age of 2. I can’t believe how fast we got to school age. How did it happen? I just blinked and she’s a young lady ready to enter Kindergarten. She’s a seasoned expert on outdoor play and even quite adept at nature identification. Her imagination sparkles and her personality shines.
So, I think I’m going to go spend some time playing this weekend. I’m not gonna blink, ’cause I don’t want to miss ANYTHING.
Here are my favorite posts from this week with some activities to inspire:
- Make a mud pie kitchen in your yard
- Create a marble launch out of swim noodles
- Use glue and breadcrumbs to create miniature food from Unplug Your Kids
- Check out Friday Fun ideas on Go Explore Nature
- Head Start Body Start blog has many ideas and links to active play
- The Vintage Mama “Wishes Tantrums Lasted Forever”
- Kara-Noel ponders “Perspective at the Irvine Spectrum”

Aahhh, a little late but, happy birthday!! Joshie can’t wait to be in your kinder class. I promise to have plenty of treats in my car for you, just like last year

Happy Happy Birthday to our friend & Princess who always makes us smile and laugh and plays with Knight Judd (aka Knight Blast per the knight) and Princess Jessie – you are the sweetest with the best sense of humor!! We love ya!!
Happy Birthday to a sweet girl who can run as fast (if not faster!) than the boys and still carry around a little purse to fit all her “treasures.” I hope that you continue to give me just as many hugs now that you are a big girl of 5!
