The Pomegranate Chronicles

This Fall, Griffin has been making lots of new friend discoveries. Little Wooly Bear Caterpillars, like this one, have been hanging out in our yard. Griffin was very excited to play with his new fuzzy friend. Wooly Bears are best known for predicting weather with their stripes. They say, a brown stripe that is more [...]

You may remember Griff and I planting a strawberry pot. We’ve been waiting and watching as blossoms bloomed, as blooms became berries and berries became ripe. Each day Griff would want to see his strawberries. He wanted to know why they were flower blossoms? When did a green thing become a red berry? Why and [...]

Summer’s coming and Griffin had his first swim class at our local gym. He was very excited to get in the water to play. Once he was in the water, he was a bit nervous, but the noodle helped calm his nerves. A toy distraction was a nice incentive to keep him swimming forward. There [...]

We still have a good foot of snow on the ground and more on the way for tomorrow. That didn’t stop us from preparing Griff’s cardboard house for the Spring. I’m not sure what made me think to do it, but I remembered back to when I was about his age and we use to [...]

This week I took another queue from Counting Coconuts for a fun February project. In her February learning line-up she has this fun project to teach children how to button. I thought we could take it one stop further and use this method to make a nice Valentine’s Day garland. I attached a button to the end [...]
