This guy featured above has been living in my tomato plant for a few months now. I can't complain since he is working hard to earn his keep!

Hardware and Handle bar Mustaches

Finally finished one of my "long term" projects! It probably wouldn't have been long term if I had focused on it exclusively. But, having a toddler and having personality much like a butterfly that likes to flit between many ideas and projects, it has taken a while to get this one done. I'm so glad it turned out! Especially since when I bought this cheap ugly armoire off of KSL.com for just a few dollars, my husband's face said, "You can't be serious." But he loaded it up anyway and brought it home to our garage. (He's such a sweetie - we probably get along so well because we both have unusual "projects".) I have a n imagination for the potential of things and I really enjoy making things aesthetic. It is like adding a rainbow to a cloudy day; its beauty does not have any function but it adds so much to our lives like hope, happiness and peace. Several coats of paint and new hardware later (the old hardware I'm calling handlebar mustaches) and we have a perfect storage solution for the playroom. PeaPod is already checking it out!

High Places

The safest place to be in a home of a toddler is as high as you can get. - thoughts by Duncan the Cat

“The responsibility mothers have today has never required more vigilance. More than at any time in the history of the world, we need mothers who know. Children are being born into a world where they “wrestle... against spiritual wickedness in high places”

"However, mothers need not fear. When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children.” Julie B. Beck, “Mothers Who Know,” Ensign, Nov 2007, 76–78

Muffin Tin Monday

I am so excited about this idea: Muffin Tin Monday! You take a muffin tin and fill it with different foods for your toddler or kids to eat lunch out of!Who says you can't eat out of it either! The presentation is easy and fun while creating a different perspective of the food. It is just so interesting! I think you could even group the foods according to type and nutritional values for older children as a learning experience. I am always searching for ways to make good nutrition fun; this idea fits that search perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing Sycamore Stirrings!
