Mommy n Daughter dates are fun!  :)  When was the last time you and your daughter had a date together?  I encourage you to make some time for this as it really is important for your mommy/daughter relationship.   Last week I took my daughter ice skating for the very first time.  I was a little nervous to put her on the ice but I left very proud of her.  Some might develop an undesirable attitude fall after fall but my daughter always got back up and never quit.  She may have left with a sore butt but I think she realized that failing or falling may happen but getting up and trying again is better then staying defeated.  :)  She may not be the best skater yet but she has developed a new hobby and is asking to go again soon!  I'm okay MOM!  LOOK AT ME!! SHE LOVES IT!!  You know next winter we will be watching a lot of ice skating when the Olympics are on so I am thinking we might be bu...

WINTER FEST 2013  Last weekend was Winter Fest in my town!  :) Yes even in the freezing weather of Wisconsin we can find fun outside!  :) It started out on Friday evening with FIREWORKS.  I think that was the first time I have ever watched fireworks in the winter.  It was a bit chilly but it was worth it and we had a great view of the show.  :) The next day there were several activities planned out throughout the down town area.  We started out doing some mini golf, yes in the snow!  We actually used a tennis ball instead of a golf ball since there were snow obstacles.  :) My daughter did a great job and I let my lil guy kick the ball and he did better kicking them me swinging.   After the golfing fun we headed to the main area where they made a huge snow sculpture and slide.  My daughter wanted to keep going down the slide since it was so FUN.  My lil guy was to cold to even want to try the slide.   ...

I got this fun idea from Mom to 2 Posh Lil  Divas  through her Sunday Showcase Linky.   I love finding fun activities to do in the summer when we have the hot temperatures.  We have to beat the heat somehow and there are so many fun crafts and activities to do with the little ones.  :)  I did not do all the educational things that Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas did since my daughter is a bit young to be learning measurement things.  Click her link above to see how she did it.  Here is what I did: 1. filled water balloons with water and put in freezer. 2. The next day I got the balloons out and filled one up with water then had all my supplies on a tray. I put food coloring with water in little muffin tins and found a medicine dropper to use to squirt the ice with. 3.  When we got outside I showed Selah the frozen balloons and the non frozen one.  We talked about the similarities and differences.  (hard, squishy, warm, heavy, light...
