Who needs "toys" anyway!<br /><br />I could not decide what homemakers needed to hear about more: non-toxic laundry soap (that's also frugal) or cheap, healthy bean recipes. I went with the former, but if you're interested in bean recipes, check out the link under "carnivals" at my site! <br /><br />:) KatieKatie @ Kitchen Stewardshiphttp://www.kitchenstewardship.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-83909831553559892792009-10-05T14:36:49.054-06:002009-10-05T14:36:49.054-06:00Jen...totally off the posted subject...but Toria t...Jen...totally off the posted subject...but Toria tells me you all had a bit of an accident...I keep thinking you will post about it...what happened??The Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901695394185277015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-86829801858834215572009-10-05T11:45:42.451-06:002009-10-05T11:45:42.451-06:00Jennifer, awesome idea!

Some kids want to make sure they've tried every single one. By variety I mean - a couple of different ones were church type sing-a-longs, a couple from Disney which contained Disney Movies theme songs, a couple of ones which have stories read on them, etc.<br /><br />Duplo's and Lego's - such wonderful inventions!!!! <br /><br />Homemade (edible) Playdough, accompanied with child size rolling pins, cookie cutters, etc.. Parchment paper taped to a coffee table via the blue tape they use when painting cars, works wonderfully!!<br /><br />"Break time" every half hour. Serve small portioned nurshing snacks - cheese and crackers, fruit, breakfast cookies, etc.. This breaks up the time and they look forward to it. Once they finish one snack, you then start the half hour count down to the next one. It helps to have a timer they can see but not touch, so they can check how much time is left for them selves. Yes, even the 19 months old - show them they have to wait till the arrow points 'there'.<br /><br />Have the Lego's and Duplo's in one back pack, the Playdough in another, the makings for necklaces in another .... then after snack time, they have to put away everything from the previous bag in order to discover the treasure awaiting them in the next backpack ;-}<br /><br />I will be hooking up this weeks "tip" once son #2 gets home from work, and helps me find where in the heck he filed the picture I asked him to download off of the camera for me 8-/ ...Cheryl B.http://www.xanga.com/thehousethatlovebuiltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-37098916004625689212009-10-05T08:56:59.382-06:002009-10-05T08:56:59.382-06:00You are a brave woman trying to keep that many chi...You are a brave woman trying to keep that many children occupied for so long! :) I understand the feeling, though!<br /><br />LOVED this post and all of the pictures!Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280523378311477782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-50394116589758830562009-10-05T08:42:12.805-06:002009-10-05T08:42:12.805-06:00thank goodness we can watch the sessions later on....thank goodness we can watch the sessions later on...while the babies are sleeping :) though i did catch a key phrase here and there. i am excited b/c i heard elder cook is coming to our stake conference next sunday. yep, two weeks in a row of conference!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871928149385175716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-80593942254585217902009-10-05T07:32:24.248-06:002009-10-05T07:32:24.248-06:00GREAT!!GREAT!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-88721494377821343942009-10-05T06:41:39.191-06:002009-10-05T06:41:39.191-06:00All in all, it looked like a great day.
