  1. Great post Katie, thanks for putting this togeter with so many good ideas! I think we're finally recovering from our run in with the stomach flu around here. ER continues to be a bit under the weather and so do I but for the most part we're on the mend.

  2. My favorite was the mosiac frame. If my kids were just a touch older we'd do this. Am going to bookmark it. Great list! Thanks!
