This has been a good week for us. We’ve done packing and finished up more school (still have a little more to do though), but even better we have some friends staying with us for a few days. It’s always so good to enjoy the company of those who share your desires and interests.
Yesterday we went to the zoo. We love our zoo and buy a family pass to it almost every year. Yesterday our four year old walked the entire time – no stroller, no piggy-backs. I was proud of him he did a great job.
On to some interesting reads that I found this week…
I loved this article on teaching your children. We really encourage independent learning in our children. If they’re interested in a subject we will provide whatever resources we can for them to be able to study it.

If you want to make a gift for Dad for Father’s Day, there are some really great ideas here.

This looks like a craft that my daughters would enjoy doing and using.
No Sew Simple Fabric Bracelet Tutorial (w/ Banadanas)
This combination of chocolate and peanut butter looks so good (as an aside, I think chocolate and peanut butter are a perfect match), and I think I could even tweak it to be THM-approved.

I would have to say that this describes my middle son. I love him dearly. He’s funny and full of life, but focused he is not.
I’ve been participating in a blogging challenge to do more YouTube videos. Here’s the first one I did about who I am and what my blog is about. I’m a little behind because of our company, but I intend to catch up on the other topics soon.
How has your week been?

Good job on the video.
I’m not sure if I’d like the whipped pb and chocolate 😉 but maybe….
I like the banadana bracelets.
For Father’s Day, we are buying him a new tool box (his is falling apart) and then we will fill it with fun things first 🙂

If you come visit me, I’ll make us the whipped pb and chocolate to try together. 🙂

It looks like you guys had fun at the zoo! The YouTube video idea is neat. Good job!
I’ve been busy trying to pack up our house. My husband is starting a new job at the end of next month. This means we have to get moved across the country! We’ll be closer to family and in an area we like better than where we are now, so this is excellent.

I like moves like that. It makes the pain of packing and unpacking so much more bearable.
