Okay, so I realize I’m a day late (or am I six days early??), but I really wanted to share this awesome and affordable find. Allie of No Time for Flash Cards – who graciously wrote a post here in January with 5 easy crafts to do with kids – just published an eBook!

Alphabet Crafts has an easy craft for every letter of the alphabet and includes 5 exclusive crafts. Like on her blog, Allie gives easy to follow step by step instructions, pictures and tips for a successful (and fun!) experience with your child. The book also has suggested materials and alphabet book suggestions.

All that alphabet learning for only $8. Yay!

Happy shopping.

Have I mentioned lately that my daughter likes to eat? Because she does. Here she is gnawing on what’s left of her father’s porterhouse steak.

I look forward to seeing your photos.

The weather cooperated enough the other day that we were able to enjoy the “park” at the outdoor mall. It was Toddler Girl’s first time to really explore the place and she tried very hard to keep up with her big brother. She did have a challenge on her hands – not only because he’s 3 but because she insisted on carrying her snack trap full of goldfish with her.

Rowing in the fake boat (with snack), climbing up the lighthouse (with snack), cuddling for a photo on the dolphin (with snack – you can’t see it, but it’s there).

Finally, no snack! Just sweet girl.

Happy Wednesday! I look forward to seeing your photos!

I used this picture on Day 54 of the 365 Days of Children’s Clothes, but it’s so cute that it’s worth repeating. They each had a little input in their outfits – she insisted on wearing a hat, and he changed from weather-appropriate pants to shorts. (And, the shorts look fab with navy socks, don’t they?)

And here are a couple cute pictures that didn’t make the 365 cut, but I love them nonetheless.

I look forward to seeing your photos.
