The Mish-Mash That Is Five on Friday

1. One Year

On Wednesday this blog turned one year old!  I have loved blogging this past year and I am very much looking forward to all that this next year will bring.

2. Seven Ways to Praise Your Children for 7 Days

So we’ve seen a whole lot of snow and cold lately.  And being stuck inside with an 18 month old boy and a 4 year old boy can be a challenge.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my boys, but figuring out how to get the energy out when it’s too cold to go out is difficult!  I have felt like I’ve been doing a whole lot more correcting than encouraging lately so it was rather timely when last night I came across Rachel Wojnarowski’s 7 Ways to Praise Your Children for 7 Days.  Definitely a good read!

3. Pink Pink Popsicles

In an effort not to go stir crazy I’ve been trying to do some fun activities with the boys, including some cooking.  With Valentine’s Day in mind we came up with this Pink Pink Popsicle recipe earlier this week and A loves them!

4. New Free Printable

Speaking of Valentines Day and love… I made up some quick art for our bedroom wall and I thought I’d share the print with you all.

5. Jimmy Fallon’s Time at Bayside High

If you’re like me, you watched a little lot of Saved By the Bell growing up… so you might feel a little like you went to Bayside High too.  I hope you got to see this Jimmy Fallon skit because it’s fantastic!  Doesn’t Mario Lopez look exactly the same?

Any fun plans for the weekend?
