Never Doubt the Groundhog

Early Sunday morning we got the news from Phil that we were in for six more weeks of winter. Many say a groundhog can't predict the weather, but around here we believe he can...

More snow coming our way tomorrow!

Alphabet Book {Take 2}

Those of you that have been readers of Moments of Mommyhood for a while may remember the Alphabet Book that I made with Madelyn and Felicia several years ago. We made a page for every letter of the alphabet and put them together in a binder. While we still have that book, I thought it would be fun to create a new book with Stella. I plan to get started on it next week! We are hoping to do a letter a day which should help keep us busy while we are stuck inside from the cold. Blah!

 

Revisiting Muffin Tin Meals

When Felicia and Madelyn were younger I began making muffin tin meals and participating in a weekly meme to share them with others. They looked forward to them so much and when Stella was old enough to join in the fun, muffin tin meals quickly became her favorite way to eat anything and everything! They helped me to get my kids to try new foods and got us over the "I'm not eating vegetables" phase that Madelyn went through.

It's been so long since we have done one. In fact, there is no longer a link-up for Muffin Tin Monday. :( But, Stella has started asking for one, so today I surprised her with a muffin tin lunch! It's nothing fancy, but you would never have guessed that by her squeals of excitement. I think we'll be doing them a lot more and I am sure when the big girls get home from school, they will be begging for one too.

She had popcorn, yogurt, cucumbers, apples, a frog shaped sandwich, and ranch dip.

It's amazing how such simple things make the little ones happy!
