BUSY BIN: STRAWS

 Are you familiar with task boxes? I LOVE them.  Task boxes aims to help children concentrate and focus on a tasks.  Task boxes are very structured.  They have one goal in mind -- transferring one object from a container to another container, sorting objects by color or completing a pattern.  They could also be easily made using a shoe box.  Though I love the idea of task boxes, I do not like the idea of how much space it will take if I were to make them.  We live in a 480 square feet after all.

PHOTO BOOTH PROPS

Aren't these the cutest? These were from last year.  I made them for the LO's birthday party but never got to use it.  All you need are cardstock paper, some sticks and sharpies!

DUKE'S CARDBOARD KITCHEN

How cute is this? This is Duke's kitchen made out of a cardboard box! My friend Cita made this for the little guy using a box, markers, tape and paper!

DIY PALM TREE

This is one of the projects that I did for my daughter's birthday but never got to post.  It's a simple DIY palm tree using things you probably have in your house.

 

BECAUSE WE'VE ALL GROWN UP

My friends and I had our yearly Christmas get together 3 weeks ago.  Yes, 3 weeks ago; on a January. Here is our mandatory picture that we instantly posted on FB and instagram just to tell the whole world 'Hey we still go out!'.

Everyone had a busy December with the Christmas season and out of state guests that it was quite difficult to get everyone together in one spot at the same time.  I love seeing my friends.  But, I must disclose that the forthe last year, we probably saw each other less than eight times compared to every week two years ago.  

Do we choose not to see each other? Not really.  Do we opt to see each other more often?  Not either.  The thing is, life happened.  We all got busy.  Some of us including myself have taken the role of a mom.  Some pursued a new hobby.  Some just had more pressing matters to attend to.  It is the norm of life... Priorities change and you deal with it.  That's what life is all about.
