Well hello there 2016.
It is time for a bit of reflecting again since this is the start to a new year and I really love looking at what everyone loved about my blog.
See my other awesome collections here: 2013 and 2014.
I am tremendously grateful to everyone who reads my blog and finds the ideas I share to be of value to them. In general 90% of what I share we are doing right here in my home with my own kids. I have 4 children so the ideas range from baby to preschooler. The other 10% I am extremely thankful to my 2 friends (Heidi & Jessica) who contribute and share their ideas on my blog too.
2015 was a rather busy year. I spent the first 6 months of the year editing and putting together a giant resource called Learn with Play. With over 90 authors and 150 ideas it truly is a masterpiece.
My top 5 posts for 2015 are!
1. How to make Cloud Dough Recipe (Colorful & Taste Safe)
2. How to Make a Quiet Book – Includes 11 Inside pages (All NO Sew!)
3. Activities for 18 to 24 Months
4. FREE Personalized My Name Tracing Printable
5. 16 No Preparation Activities To Keep Toddlers Busy
My personal favorite 5 for 2015 are:
- Velcro Dot Craft Stick Building Cards
- 1-10 Counting and Tracing Numbers (Now with 11-20 Extension!)
- Chia Sensory Bags / Pockets – This is one of my 12 months old first sensory explores!
- Stained Glass Art with Toilet Rolls
- Patchwork No Sew Fleece Blanket Tutorial

Other things I was up to in 2015.
I made a blank recipe cook book after I got SO tired of papers everywhere!
I also decided to venture into using more essential oils in my home. I use the oils for a chemical free home and to aid us in our everyday lives.
I launched a blank Essential Oil recipe book (once again little bits of paper free!)
I also put together an Essential Oils 101 email course and shared a few ideas for essential oils from a diffuser, rollerball bottles and others. More on where I buy my oils here.
What is going on in 2016?
I took a break the last few months of 2015 for both fine motor fridays and playful preschool wednesdays. 2016 will see me continuing these days plus adding a few more.
There are definitely more PRINTABLES coming as well as QUIET BOOKS!
Looking for some more awesome ideas? Readers loved these posts from my fellow bloggers in 2015. You will find something great!
