Weekend Coffee Share: October 29, 2016

Hello, blog friends! I so hope that your weekend is off to a fabulous start! Mine is warming up in a very lazy fashion…and I desperately needed that. We have continued to be crazed with activity around here. In the past week, we’ve had a concert, a play, a masquerade ball (that one was just Grace, but still there was much flooping about in preparations), and Halloween shenanigans. That’s all, of…

Hello, beautiful blog buddies! I hope your weekend is going magically, fantastically well! Mine is off to a slow and relaxing start…but, in the usual fashion, it will get a little more hectic in a couple of hours. :)

But until that happens, why don’t we settle in for a nice cup of coffee? I hope you don’t like anything fancy…we’re regular ol’ “classic roast with sugar and cream” people around…

Weekend Coffee Share: October 8, 2016

Hello, my wonderful, wonderful blog friends! I hope your weekend is off to a magical start! Mine? Well, let’s just say that Hurricane (Tropical Storm?) Matthew is forcing me to take a bit of a break…which is good…because this week has been stupidlybusy. I’m currently snuggled into the couch, slurping coffee, and listening to the wind and rain do their things. So far, Matthew hasn’t been too…

Hello, my beautiful blog friends! I hope your day is off to a magnificent beginning. :) I am having a wonderfully leisurely start to my day…before the swirls of fun begin! Yep, the time has come for another Lady Gamers Weekend, and that means I throw some clothes and games in an overnight bag and head out to the central part of the state. (It’s the closest point we could find to the “middle” of…

Good morning, my wonderful blog friends! I so hope that your weekend is off to a magnificent start. So far, I have zero complaints. :) Before we snuggle in for chatting, you should try out some of the apple crumble that the dinosaurs and I made…it’s delicious! (Okay, okay, the dinosaurs did most of the work…I just peeled and chopped the apples, combined the ingredients, made sure times and…

Weekend Coffee Share: September 17, 2016

Good afternoon, my lovely blog friends! I hope you’re having an excellent Saturday. Mine, so far, has been a much needed dose of mindless TV, couch snoozing, and puttering. Why much needed? Well, because this past week has been absolutely hectic…good hectic, but hectic nonetheless!

Just yesterday, Grace and I headed out waaaaay earlier than we’re used to for a Symphony Breakfast (which was yummy…

How To Make Your Own Prism & Rainbow!

How To Make Your Own Prism & Rainbow!

Today’s bit of STEAM fun is quick, simple, delightful…and inspired by Sir Isaac Newton’s exploration of light. (Did you know he’s the one who brought us the verification that white light can be broken into the spectrum, and that each color travels at its own speed and in its own direction?) This is one of the many fun activities suggested in Isaac Newton and Physics for Kids.*
