I keep neglecting our garland.

I had to add 2 links to it today because I had forgotten about it over the weekend. Oops. >.<
Today, we made Clean Clouds. Allie liked it and said it was squishy but Jason refused to touch it. He didn't like the texture! lol He helped shred the toilet paper but then got bored and started climbing on the coffee table (again). Now he's passed out on the couch and Allie's watching Phineas & Ferb. I'm taking the time to get an entry in on here.

I've just recently discovered a site called Postcrossing and absolutely love it! I ordered some postcards off Amazon and requested my 5 addresses. One postcard is already out (we made it out of an organic granola bar snack box. Read the postal requirements for making your own postcards here.) and the rest will be sent out once our package arrives.

I love the site because, for every postcard you send that is registered by the recipient, your address is (safely) passed on to someone else so that they can send you one. Basically, for every one you send, you get one back. And the countries are random. So far, our addresses are Russia, the Netherlands, China, Finland, and Taiwan.

I plan on getting a piece of corkboard and gluing our world map to it. Then we can put a pin in each country that we get a postcard from. I've asked that each person that sends us a postcard writes a few things about themselves or their country on it so we can learn about different places. I think it's a fantastic learning experience for Allie and will be a great way to practice her writing once she's gotten some more practice in.

I've added the blog Play at Home Mom to my list off to the right of here so, if you're interested in more than the Clean Clouds recipe, you can easily find the link again.

Fair winds!
