I am once again on my quest to find a sitter for the mornings and have been utilizing sitter city which I have had great success with. The thing I love about sitter city is that there are so many qualified sitters on there, and they have the profile’s on each person. The profile’s are really helpful because I find they give you a sense about each person.
So now I am in the process of setting up interviews and meeting the potential sitters. I do hope we can find someone really good. It’s so important to find someone your comfortable with, that’s good with the kids and reliable.
What have you been tackling?
This week I tackled the radiator! I wish I had taken a before picture! It was really getting rusty and gross looking and it wasn’t even that old. I guess that’s what happens when you have a boy and the radiator is next to the toilet! So I sanded it and spray painted it with rustoleum paint. It came out really great and looks brand new, so I am really excited!!
Check out the after picture!
What have you tackled?
I have been tackling so many projects lately, I don’t know where to begin!! I can’t believe I did not take before and after pictures, because we have been rearranging our whole house! After my sister went back home with my nephew, we decided we would move our kids rooms, and then we decided we’d move our room. So we have moved almost all the furniture in the house around, including rearranging the playroom!! The past two weekends have been totally dedicated to these projects but they are almost done! Now it is the little things, sorting toys, paint touch up etc to get it finished. I have to say I am really excited because I really like the way it looks! So for the next few weeks I will be tackling more organizing, painting etc!! My big tackle that I have yet to start this summer, is painting the outside trim! UGH! It’s one of those projects that has to be done, but I am not looking forward to it!
What have you been tackling? Do you tackle big projects in the summer? What is your favorite type of tackle? What is your least favorite?
This week at Toddler Crafts I tackled one of my art supply cabinets. It’s something I have to do every few months. The kids and I are always going in there taking things in and out so it gets disorganized after a while. I have found that having shelves, bins (like tuperware or containers with little drawers) helps organize the various supplies for our crafts for toddlers activities! I think it is important to make it easy to access and put away otherwise you might not be as apt to access your arts and crafts supplies and create fun crafts!

This week at Toddler Crafts I tackled my daughters birthday party! Kids birthday parties are so much fun!! My kids love the
preparations leading up to their birthday partys!! They have such fun filling the goody bags and planning the activities for
their party’s!
This year my daughter had a princess birthday party!! She was so excited! We had of course the crowns and jewelry that is
necessary for little princesses. We also found princess and toy story silly bandz!! Those were a big hit! If you haven’t heard
of silly bandz yet, they are quite popular with kids, from ages 4-18! Many schools have actually banned them because they have
found them to be distracting. But they are fun for the kids to compare what they are shaped as when they are not at school.
Silly bandz are basically rubber bands that are in different colors and shaped like a variety of objects. When kids take them off and
lay them on the table you can see what shape they are. They make them in shapes like animals, music instruments, sea animals
and many more! We had a castle pinata which was a great hit! I love the pull string pinatas for kids! So much better then
wacking it with a bat!
This tackle was a definite success!! All the kids had fun, it was so much fun to watch!
