Collage Friday - it's a wrap!


Happy Friday - here we are again, another week flown by!  We have been able to get outside A LOT this week, thank you Lord.  It's been a fun, "earthy" kinda week!  



More planting!  Birds are in abundance here at the feeders. (using my new lens to capture them!)



Our trees and flowers are all coming alive!



The girls received a new Kiwi Crate this week - Earth day was the topic of the crafts. This craft was stamping a recycled bag using clay and leaves. It was fun!  (they saved the other craft for Monday!)

If you did not get a chance to get out and celebrate the earth yet - there is still time!  



Check out our recycled juice container...how we are helping the birds! Click HERE!

I am finally getting out for the day tomorrow with my gal pal, Kimberly and we are partaking in much needed retail therapy! lol  

I pray your weekend is filled with love and laughter!  

Linking up to Mary over at Homegrown Learners today!  Won't you join me?

What a great week. The weather was amazing here too, but it's a little cold today. I love homeschooling outside! :) I haven't heard of Kiwi Crates. I am about to check it out. Have fun with your 'gal' day. :)

Your pictures are gorgeous! It feels so good to be outside. I wish we lived closer so we could come to one of your parties :) I remember you talking about the Kiwi Crates at BEECH, I'm thinking about doing it for the summer. Have a great weekend!

"Earthy" weeks are the best! I have BIG plans for more such days starting next week (if it's not rainy). I hope you're enjoying your "therapy" time! LOL

Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere!  I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.   Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science!  He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries.
