Collage Friday

 Another week flew by....we were a very busy family!  


Started with last weekend - it was our Sammie's 4th Birthday and she had not one but TWO celebrations! 

Saturday with her friends at the gym - Olympic Gymnastics Party

and then on Sunday with the family - Cinco de Mayo Party!  Both were a lot of fun to style for her!


School: 

Field Trip to a small zoo this week in NJ - beautiful day!


Started back with our Little Passports curriculum with a "trip to Australia" 


Another "field trip" with an outing to our local Creamery was in order!  The views are just breathtaking. The sky was SO blue that day!  


As you read this post we are preparing the Camper (aka travel trailer) for Mother's Day Weekend camping trip!  (pray rain holds off!)


I hope you get a chance to thank a Mother this weekend for all she does - even if it's not your own mom - support another mom!  

Can't wait to blog about our 1st Camping adventure in our camper - hope some good stories to tell!  

Join me over at Homegrown Learners for Collage Friday!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! 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.
