This is a place where I can share my love of family, stamping and the Lord.

The Simple Woman's Daybook April 9, 2024
For Today April 9, 2024
The Simple Woman's Daybook began here.
I am thinking what an amazing God we serve. God numbers our steps and our days. He walks before us, beside us and behind us. He loves us more than anyone else. That is so hard to comprehend. Why would God care about little old me? I sure am glad I'm one of his children.
I am creating another granny square afghan to be donated. I'm also just finishing making cards for a local nursing home so they can celebrate Nurses in May and Aides in June. What a nice thing for them to do.

Museum, Flowers and Cards
The Cleveland Children's Museum
Friday, my son and I took his daughter to this incredible Children's Museum on Euclid Ave. at 40th.
When you see it from the outside, it looks kind of neat, but this wasn't anything compared to what we found on the inside!
His daughter is 2 and we found they have a room just for 0-3 year olds. We saw babies doing tummy time in front of a mirror, lots of toddlers exploring all that was inside. As an educator, I was truly impressed with the variety of things to do just in this room.
There were lots of plastic balls that could be put into tubes that filled up, tubes that zig-zagged, behind doors that open and shut, into doors and dropped down a tube where if you opened another door, you saw the ball you dropped.
Lots of toys that could be shook and made noise. Some that moved and spun while being held as well as puzzles, a slide, several areas to crawl through, an area with large, colorful magnetic horseshoes that stuck to the wall. When you think of the developmental stages of kids and play, you could see the type of toys there.
It was a fun and safe environment for everyone. It was interesting to see how parents dealt with 'sharing' issues. It was fun to see kids share items without being asked, and some that wouldn't share at all.
In this room, there was a water play area, bubbles and this suction machine. You opened a small door and put your scarf inside, then watched it race through the tubes and fly out at the top and float down to the floor. This was something that when Mia gets older she'll be able to follow. The scarf moved too fast for her to understand what it did and where it went.

Cavs, Cards and Craziness
Crazy finishes for our Cleveland Cavaliers this week. When they can hit threes, they're so much fun to watch. To come from behind and win is very special! Check out these two games the Cavs played this week against the Mavericks and Celtics.
I love to watch basketball and baseball games.

Happy Valentine's Day 2024
What a fun day Tim and I had today. First, he gave me this rooting box that he made from acrylic and wood. I can put cuttings in it to root them. These Coleus really root quickly in water.
