DAY 14 CHALLENGE:

ACT OUT A STORY 

Today we're digging into your 

imaginations [as well as memory!] and bringing a 

story to real life!


  1. The story my daughter picked was "Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink."  Selah received this book as a birthday present from her Aunt and it is her new favorite.  (Her old favorite is "No David" and I am so thankful she did not pick that one!) 



First the story starts will Pinkalicious looking in her piggy bank for money to buy gumballs.  She had no money so she came up with an idea to have a lemonade stand.

Pinkalicious decides Pink Lemonade is the best choice and makes her version of Lemonade without her mom's help.  She adds watermelon, grapefruit, and purple beets to make it pink.


She goes out to her Lemonade stand and starts selling! 




Mr. Peabody comes over to buy a glass.  


Sour face, "There is either too much of something or not enough of something else."  


Oh No!  Her brother spilled the lemonade!  (Titus was taking a nap during today's play but I am pretty sure he could have helped with the spilling action!) 

Now we can make a new batch, and mommy picks out strawberries to make it pink.  






Mr. Peabody comes back for another glass and this time....


It is perfect!  



Pinkalicious sells all her lemonade and then counts her money, 6 quarters, 4 dimes, 5 nickles, and 10 pennies.  


Enough to buy some gumballs, but not just any gumball...


PINK gumballs!  
The end... tomorrow Pinkalcious wants to bake pink cupcakes!  Who knows maybe we will!  :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
