Mommy Monday: Rainy Day/Bored Box

Saturday was sort of a "test out my latest Pinterest ideas" kind of day. We had a LOT of trial and error. I decided I needed a box of activities to keep Joey busy when he was bored or cooped up inside. This won't be available for daily play, I'll only bring it out when I feel I need to. It was supposed to rain this weekend so I figured this time was better than ever. Here is what I put in our Rainy Day, Busy, Bored Box whatever you want to call it:

(From top left to right)

-Balloons (good gross motor)

- Mini Magnadoodle (I think that's what they're called)

- A sensory bag (Idea found HERE)

- Coffee play dough "dirt" (Recipe HERE)

- Homemade maracas 

- Clothespin drop bottle (great for fine motor)

- Crayola glass crayons

- Sensory balloons (I made these about a year ago. I have no clue where the idea came from. They're each filled with something different: flour, salt, beans, rice, & hair gel)

It's Friday?!

As a stay at home mom I feel that it's really easy to get "lost in the sauce". Seriously, I just realized it's Friday! Despite the fact that I had a meeting this morning & I bought groceries (which I do every other Friday). Shoot, I'm supposed to pay bills today too, another pay day task. See what I mean about "lost in the sauce"? Maybe I'm just too terribly unorganized.

This morning was, I wouldn't say bad, but tiresome. Long story, maybe I'll blog about it another day. It's just not the time for all that just yet. I decided to treat myself a little & I bought some pretty flowers to brighten up my mood. I got some chocolate too, because you can't go wrong with chocolate.

I have absolutely NO clue what Joey and I are doing this weekend, beyond tonight. Tonight we are watching movies and eating pizza. I wanted to take him to the Zoo this weekend, since we have a membership already & we usually get stir crazy on the weekend.

Our features for the evening. Is it sad that I picked a movie for myself out of the children's section at the library? I love Lindsay Lohan's (pre-crackhead) movies!

Dinner! I cut myself some slack on the weekends.

My pretty flowers in a vase! Am I having an affair with myself? Flowers, chocolate, dinner & a movie? Hmmm...

See what I mean? Not exactly zoo weather. Then again, we do live in Texas so this is likely to change any second. 

Just A Little Introduction

Hi! I'm Beth, the blogger here at The Little Momma That Could. I've blogged previously, but took about a year long break. I've decided to start from scratch, & here I am!

First I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a stay at home mom & college student. My son Joey is two, he is a wild and crazy mess! My Hubby (Kyle) works in the oil field, so he's gone a lot. My husband and I are both originally from Oklahoma, but we moved to Texas for his job. It's weird to think that my son is a Texan!

I'm a pretty silly person. After losing my massive amount of pregnancy weight I'm trying to live a fairly fit and healthy life, I fail a lot. I'm a Christian. I'm not crafty. I'm a book nerd. I love Pinterest (who doesn't?). I really enjoy playing with my son, I like to think that we have a lot of fun!

Now, I hope I haven't ran too many of you off! So stick around and see where this fresh new blog will go!

PS. Tell me about yourself!
