Since we are spending more time out in our back yard, we might as well make it more enjoyable.  My kids love getting the hammocks out and relaxing with a book.  My teenage son often will spend the night in his hammock.

Amazon has hammocks for $15.99 and 2 colors to choose from in this particular style.

Hammock Swing Seat – $27.98 shipped!

On Jane.com, you can find this double cushion hammock swing for $27.99 shipped, down from $65!  That is definitely a great deal!  I think that would be a great place to read a book! (Appears to be sold out for now – hopefully it will be back on again soon)

 

This is exciting!  Noggin is offering a FREE 90 day subscription for your family!  I just signed up for ours and we didn’t have to put in a credit card or any information besides my name, email, and creating a password.  It emailed a confirmation link that I had to verify and now my 4 year old is happily watching and playing with his favorite Nick Jr. friends.  What a generous offer!

Happy Monday everyone!  We’ve made it another week here in our “flattening the curve” quarantine.  This  past week went well and we’re still healthy.  We’ve been staying home completely except for a grocery pickup run and of course my husband working.

Today, we are celebrating our 18th anniversary!!! This is definitely not how we planned to spend it, but we are safe, healthy, and that is all that matters.  The week ahead brings more homeschool.  I’m actually really enjoying having everything else cancelled and being able to just focus on school and family.

Here’s what we are making this week –

Monday: Steak from Texas Roadhouse (they are offering for you to purchase their fresh, uncooked meat and prices were decent!), sweet potatoes, asparagus

Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Rice 

Wednesday: BBQ, beans, chips

Thursday: Nachos

Friday: Homemade Pizza

Saturday: Chili

Sunday: Eggs, Biscuits

I’ve seen such cute driveway art lately and I’ve noticed the hashtag #ChalkYourWalk is trending with families. The idea is to create a design for your driveway that will encourage and uplift others.  The kids and I dug out the chalk and went to work!  We were hoping to do a better mosaic design but we quickly were running out of chalk.  I will show you how we did our design though!

For starters, we pulled out painter’s tape.  My oldest got to work making a rectangle and then randomly adding more tape to create design areas.

From there, the younger kids each got a piece of chalk and randomly colored in the shapes.  After it’s filled in, simply pull up the painter’s tape for a fun design!  Note that it will use a LOT of chalk, but it was fun!  I hope it brings some brightness to someone in this challenging season.

I love a good cardigan!  Head on over to Cents of Style and use code CARDISALE to score 50% Off their popular cardigans!  This means that prices start at just $10 shipped! This is for a limited time and while supplies last.  There are several different styles and available and lots of fun colors and patterns.

As we all know, pretty much everything is closed.  Alliance Theatre was working so hard on their upcoming presentation of Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience.  This show is based on the popular Mo Willems book.  Since we are unable to visit them, they want to come visit all of us through streaming their show!  What a fun idea!

The steps to stream the show are simple:

1.) Go to the Alliance Theatre streaming web page HERE

2.) Choose your date. Select a date between now and April 12th to view the video. Choose the payment option that works best for you! Please know that whatever amount you choose goes to supporting the artists of the Alliance Theatre.  Options as low as $5!

3.) For the date you selected, a viewing passcode will be sent to you in an email that morning at 9AM. Double check your spam folder if you don’t see it. You will then have 48 hours to watch the video as many times as you like.

What a great opportunity to support a local theatre that has spent countless hours preparing a show!  I hope you all are able to check this out.  We most certainly will!
