Each week I plan on taking some time out and sharing what our favorite apps of the week are. We are constantly downloading new apps every week to try out. Some are free and some we purchase. Right now I am only writing them up for the iPhone. In a couple weeks I will be starting to include iPad. Some are just fun game playing and others are educational. I have some apps for the iPad that look like they will be great additions to our homeschooling. However, until we get iPad I can’t tell you about them  Read more...

My daughter is an abosolute big fan of Max and Ruby. When she woke up from her nap I told her she had a surprise waiting on the iphone. She screamed with happiness and every 5 minutes I heard “Thank You Mommy for getting this for me.”

Max and Ruby: Max’s Mole Mash is a super and addicting game. You child will be entertained for hours helping Max mash the moles before his Grandma gets home. Since we downloaded this my daughter plays this everyday. She absolutely loves it. It’s very easy for a young child to navigate through. The menu screens are not complicated at all. It’s very simple you tap the screen every time a mole appears.  Read more...

Yesterday I made some Oatmeal Creme Pies. When I was growing up I use to love the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. I had such a taste for them yesterday so I decided to make my own. They turned out fantastic. Only my filling was a little runny because I used butter in place of shortening. I have to get the consistency right. So I will be making these again. I also substituted maple syrup for molasses as I didn’t have that.  My daughter loved the oatmeal cookies with out the creme filling. They were just delicious period!

This weekend my youngest son is staying with my parents. So it’s just me and my 3 year old daughter. She grabbed her Disney Princess beauty set and started taking it all out. She started on her own hair and then said Mommy I am going to do your hair. Many times I wanted to scream OUCH. I am suprised I still have hair intact. She got it caught and tangled and pulled my hair.

However it was really fun to sit and take turns and tell her how pretty she looked. She would smile while she was doing my hair. The look on her face and listening to her talk was just priceless.  Read more...
