Well I have had a ton of posts to do today - it is not often that these things all fall on the same day but this time it has. The Stamp of the Month Blog Hop post is here and you will find the Cooking for Cricut Challenge post here. For those of you who have been following my Hands On Play Challenge (inspired by Jamie over at Hands On As We Grow) we are on day 21 already! Today's challenge is make music! We gathered some fun things from my kitchen cabinets, put on some music from pandora and went to town in the living room!
My son wanted to wear his monkey suit again (even though it is way too small)
that look no his face is priceless - makes me laugh every time!
Now, I have been super inspired by Jamie and have joined her in another project this month - the Heart Project: American Heart Association Collaborative Fundraiser. You will find all the details over at Jamie's blog post but I'll give you a quick summary :)
70 + bloggers have gathered together to put together a beautiful book of heart projects!
As a mama of three little ones my heart just aches for other moms who have to live through trials like little Ellie's mom and family. It also rejoices with them in the glorious moments of raising a precious little "gril" as my boys call them :) It is because of Ellie's story, people like her, my deep gratitude for Jamie and her desire to help and my own story (like my husband's grandmother, my own grandparents, and the surgery I had to relieve pressure from my own vital organs including my heart) that I am involved in this project. You can read Ellie's story here.
Mom's around the world unite! We can (and do) make a difference starting with our own children! This book includes 100 projects that are both heart and kid related! These projects include art made by kids, with kids, for kids or about kids :) You will find inspiration for cooking, creating, decorating, and playing with your kids!
