Toddler News
The latest news in our house:My Princess cut her bangs. Not too bad, luckily. Most people won't even notice it. I am so glad it was not worse.

Dollar Store Crafts
We love this local store here in Canada called Dollarama. For quite cheap, we can find fun crafts for our Princess. This week, she picked out two wooden pieces to paint—a tray and a desktop organizer. They were only $1.25 CND each! We already had some paint, so this was a cheap week for craft time. This week for homeschool we are working on her letters that she has a harder time recognizing. She has about 6 letters she needs to work on. We are also working in a summer bridge book between … [Read more...]

She loves it. I love it, since it gives me a few moments of peace.(It is not always easy to entertain a child in the church service, … [Read more...]

Sure enough, it was a tiny cavity.We were told that her molars had very deep grooves that would make it difficult for the toothbrush bristles to clean. The one thing about my Princess is that she loves brushing her teeth and using mouthwash.The hubster and I decided not to make a big deal about the visit. We prayed together before and we told our Princess that she would be … [Read more...]
