If you’re a mom keep reading because we have some wonderful fun ideas to inspire you with your little ones and family. My blogging friends are linking up craft ideas, fun in the kitchen, preschool & homeschool ideas, and ways to spend time as a family.

So many great ideas, crafts and things to do! Thanks to all my blogging friends for linking up last week at Family Fun Friday. If you link up, you permit me to use your pictures/ideas as part of future posts. As always, for every 50+ ideas I will select a winner of some FREE jewelry. The winner of our latest contest is:

SHANNON SCHMID of Milk and Cuddles for her Succulent Wreath entry. Our winner was selected using a Random Number Generator. Congratulations Shannon. You can choose one item from the Jewelry below.

And on to our featured bloggers…

1. Your Modern Family posted on how important it is to celebrate not only a child’s firsts but their lasts too. She writes, “How many times do we do something with our children and not realize that it will be our “last” time doing it for them?” The post was so beautiful I got all teary-eyed reading it.

Your Modern Family also posted on spending one-on-one time with your kids. Anther great post.

2. Natural Beach Living posted on poetry and learning with your kids. She really helps her kids expand upon the concepts in the poem portrayed in her post.

3. A Family Tradition of Making Pancakes – Stephanie Kay of Everyday Family Living shared the “best pancake recipe ever” and some fun ideas for creating family traditions around meal-time. I think you’ll like her pancake recipe!
