A week of planned activities on the theme of families inspired by the book Around the Table That Grandad Built by Melanie Heuiser Hill.
I used paint, gel stain, and air dry clay to give my dining table the makeover it always needed for less than $110!
Think of the Book of Romans as a guide from Paul, one of the key figures in Christianity, on what it really means to follow Jesus. Romans packs a punch with
After we finished our DIY deck back in March, it became even more apparent that we needed more outdoor seating. The only seating we had at the time was a round patio table with 4 chairs. Initially, we looked around for sectionals, but everything we liked was at least $2,500. Then we came across some plans to build your own outdoor sofa from Ana White...for around $50 in lumber! The cushions are the most expensive part of this project, but even so, we were able to build 3 sofas for under $800 total. Here is the original Ana White sofa design that we modeled our sofas after: Ana White Outdoor Sofa Plans It's a great basic design, but I wanted to modify it slightly by adding a couple more 2x4's for extra back support, as well as some 2x2's under the arm rests for more detail. We also built our sofas to the size of our cushions, so we used one less 2x4 on the seat bottom. Our sofa seats ended up being about 23.5" deep. Here's a comparison of the original vs. our sofa: I assumed the most difficult part of this project would actually be finding cushions that we liked in our budget, so we decided to pick out our cushions first & then build the sofas to those specific dimensions. Ideally, I wanted something in the grey family, but the few grey cushions I came across were either too brown, too thin, or too expensive. We ended up going with the IKEA KUNSO cushions in black instead: Here are the dimensions of our cushions: Back cushion dimensions: Width: 24 3/8 " Depth: 17 3/8 " Thickness: 7 1/8 " Bottom cushion dimensions: Width: 24 " Depth: 24 " Thickness: 4 " The entire sofa was built out of pine 2x4's, with the exception of the "X" detail under the arms - which were pine 2x2's. We did not use treated lumber for this project since I planned on staining & sealing the sofas - so we saved a little money by going with regular pine AND the lumber was also not as heavy since it wasn't treated. If you can afford to build with cedar, that is the way to go for outdoor furniture (since we were on a budget we went with pine). My dad helped us build the first sofa, but then we were on our own for the remaining two. Before we added the "X" detail: Another change we made was to the top 2x4 on the back rest - we decided to attach the 2x4 vertically to give the back a little more height and notched out the ends to fit on top of the arm rests: Here are the sofas after we added the 2x2 X detail under the arms: For extra support, we also screwed in two vertical 20" 2x4 supports on the back of each sofa: *UPDATE* Here are some more detailed photos of the back of the sofas from April 2020: Once all three sofas were assembled, I filled the holes with exterior wood filler & gave them a light sanding all over. I focused on the edges - particularly around the arm rests. Next, I gave them all one coat of semi-transparent stain & sealer in the color Pewter by Rustoleum: The stain is subtle in person (and even more difficult to tell the difference in photos), but the stain sort of reminds me of that gray driftwood Restoration Hardware look. I could have done a second coat of stain, but I was honestly exhausted & just wanted to be done. You can see the stain the best in this photo: Ana's original lumber list only calls for (11) 2x4x10' boards, but because of our modifications we ended up needing to buy the following for each sofa: (12) 2x4x10' (1) 2x4x8' (2) 2x2x8' Here is the final approximate cost breakdown: ONE SOFA: $65 lumber + $180 cushions = $245 THREE SOFAS: $195 lumber + $540 cushions = $735 We also spent $37 in stain, so our total cost was about $772 ($735 + $37). Please keep in mind there can be other costs involved depending on what materials, tools, or stains you already have on hand. We already had the screws we needed (mostly 2 1/2" & some 4" galvanized screws), sandpaper, wood glue, and tools - so all we needed to purchase was the lumber & stain. Overall, we love the sofas - they are comfortable & very sturdy! Since I didn't give step by step instructions, please let me know if you have any questions on our building process. We also ended up building an X-base dining table for our new deck as well. I will write a post on how we built that in the near future... Thanks for reading! Mel

To begin our inquiry into celebrations around the world, we looked at maps and globes to see how big the world is. We found Ohio on world, maps, maps of the United States and on globes. We read books to show how people live and do things in different parts of the world. We learned that people speak in different languages, eat different foods, have different homes, and different schools. Yet we all love, have friends, families, and have the same needs such as food, water and shelter. I set up an area where they could explore globes, world maps, maps of the United States, and different types of Ohio maps showing cities and lakes, roads and counties. Paper was available to show what they notice and create maps that they see. They were very interested in the compass rose and how it showed what direction North, South, East and West is. I also set up an area where they could explore continents through clay. Some tried to put the continents together to show the world! The kids practiced reading and creating treasure maps in our sand box by hiding "golden nuggets" and creating a map using the pieces in the sand and also on paper. After studying the maps and learning about how people live around the world, we started discussing different celebrations that the kids in our class celebrate. We have friends who celebrate Christmas Diwali, Ramadan, and Kwanzaa so I decided to focus on those traditions most. We started with Diwali. It is a beautiful celebration of light! One tradition was creating Rangolies out of colored salt and sand. We watch some videos of some being created and the kids were enthralled! Since I did not have colored salt or sand, the kids made mandalas inspired by the Rangolies we saw! I set up an area for them to explore and create their own mandalas using different loose parts. I added a book about mandalas for inspiration. I was amazed at the beauty they created as they used the math concepts of growing patterns and symmetry to create them. I love when art and math come together! They also crated mandalas using our pattern blocks. They even started using the same math concepts at the easel as they started painting mandalas. I let those who were interested create rangolies out of clay and beans. Many created lovely growing patterns on these also! Mandalas started showing up outside! Some friends collaborated to create the largest one they could with the long grasses drying in our garden! We watched a video that inspired the kids to try to create "Human Mandalas!" They had so much fun with this! Light plays an important part of Diwali. It is a celebration of light defeating darkness. One tradition is lighting small lamps called Diyas. Children who were interested, created diyas of their own using air dry clay and beautiful beads. Another tradition is to create beautiful henna art on their hands. We watched a video showing the use of henna to draw these beautiful designs on a hand and wrist. We have seen henna on some of the hands of our friends in the past. The kids thought it was absolutely beautiful and loved watching this! Inspired by the video, the kids created their own henna hands. I found an old map created by a previous class that was so faded the water had turned pink! We decided to freshen it up and use it to create a display that shows these different celebrations and traditions we are learning about and where they originated. We documented what we had learned about Diwali on the computer together and highlighted sight words we had learned. We noticed "they" popped up a lot so we are focussing on that word right now! It is one of the harder ones for them to remember. I then put out samples of our art to show some of the traditions. This was only the beginning of learning about different traditions and celebrations. We learned about Diwali, but have many more to learn about! We will show you what else we learn in our next post!

Beautiful landscapes, picturesque villages by the coast and delicious restaurants. We have made a list of the best restaurants in Puglia.
Hungarian cuisine, this cuisine belongs to Hungary, and to its primary ethnic group The Magyars.Hungarian dishes are cooked with meats, seasonal vegetables, fruits,fresh bread, dairy products and cheese.Hungarians love to enjoy their meat in stews, casseroles, as steaks. The mixing of different meats and vegetables in their dish is a traditional feature of this cuisine.Soups,desserts, pastries and the famous pancakes are the other important dishes of this Hungarian cuisine.I have been looking for a simple recipe from this cuisine for this month's long blogging marathon as we are cooking from around the world with country name starts with alphabets, since today"s alphabet is 'H',i picked immediately the Hungarian cuisine. While going through the google master, i got hooked immediately to their Palacsinta, the famous Hungarian pancakes or crepes. These crepes are almost as like French crepes.However most of the Central European pancakes are thin pancakes similar to the French crêpe. The main difference between the French and this Hungarian version of this dish is that the mixture for this crepes can be used straight away unlike that of the French crepes which is suggested to be left at rest for several hours. Palacsinta are made by creating a runny dough from eggs, flour, milk, and salt and frying it in a pan with butter or oil. Unlike thicker types of pancakes, palascinta are usually served with different types of fillings and eaten for lunch or dinner.One among the well known crepes of this Hungarian cuisine is the Gundel pancake (Gundel palacsinta), made with ground walnuts, raisin, candied orange peel, cinnamon, and rum filling, served flambéed in dark chocolate sauce made with egg yolks, heavy cream, and cocoa. But the Hungarian pancakes i picked for this blogging marathon is the simplest one, you can fill this palacsinta simply with any spread like apricot or strawberry jam, you can also go for sugar, grounded walnuts or poppy seeds. Some people may also fill their pancakes with sugared cheese, sweetened cocoa or simply with cinnamon powder. These thin crepes are dangerously addictive and my kids enjoyed this cigars shaped like crepes happily for their evening snacks. These crepes can be prepared very easily with simple ingredients,we loved it very much. However i prepared this crepes with eggs, an eggless version can also be prepared if you replace the eggs simply with buttermilk. Recipe Source: Budapestology 2cups All purpose flour 3cups Milk 3nos Eggs 2tsp Sugar 2tbsp Oil Take the eggs in a large bowl, beat with a hand mixer. Add the flour, sugar, milk and oil, beat everything well, the batter should be smooth and runny. Heat a crepe pan or a frying pan, heat some butter on medium heat, drop enough batter, turn the pan until the batter cover the bottom of the pan. This crepe should be thin, when its turns brown, flip and cook on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan, continue the same process with the remaining batter. Put jam, marmalade or anything over the crepe, spread it and roll it carefully. Sprinkle some sugar in the top. Serve immediately.

This week our unit was scheduled to be "Friends Around the World" and the letter "O". If I have learned nothing else from teaching pre-school for the last 16+ years, I have learned that things change! And change they did this week! I did start off the week planning to stick to my lesson plan of "Friends Around the World" by talking about the amazing country of Italy and Leonardo Da Vinci. We looked at the beautiful flag of Italy and discussed the meaning of each of the colors. Green - Hope, Joy and Love White - Peace and Honesty Red - Hardinesss, Bravery, Strength and Valour But of course if you are a preschooler, when you see an Italian flag you automatically think of Francesco Bernooulli! Ahhhhhh, the power of media! We also talked about Michelangelo his wonderful sculptures and art. I had several wonderful pictures of the Sistine Chapel and the students loved looking at them. It's fun to look at pictures of great art, but how about let's make some Michelangelo art of our own! We hit the floor for this lesson and drew UNDER the tables! (Edited because this crazy teacher wrote Leonardo de Vinci instead of Michelangelo!) As soon as I said "u"nder the tables, several students yelled "under starts with U"! OHHHHHH they remembered last week's letter of the week, "U"! A sweet teacher moment for sure. Some of the children would have stayed under the tables for the entire day, others spent only a few minutes on their art and they were ready to move on. It didn't really matter because we all had a wonderful day! Tuesday we talked about the letter "O". We spent the making the "O" sound and laughing. For some reason making the "O" sound is extremely funny. It was a very happy day in our classroom. We did a very impressive art project on Tuesday. We started with a plain black piece of construction paper and covered it with chalk. Next, we poured black paint on the bottom and let it run off the top of the paper. Everyone loved letting the paint dripped into the garbage can! After it dried we added a little owl, a moon and lots of stars! The end results were nothing short of amazing! It is hard for me to believe that these were done by 3 and 4 year old children! BUT THEY DID IT ALL BY THEMSELVES! I'm ending this posts now because as I said earlier, "things change". The rest of our week was devoted to Leap Year and good 'ole Dr. Seuss' Birthday.
