sleeping and i think that s the reason i feel surprisingly well rested each morning teeny tiny hands my body is still resetting to its pre pregnancy state it s strange and amazing at the same time to feel things shifting back into place recovery wise i m still a bit sore from the c section but otherwise i feel quite normal one thing that s not normal for me is just how hungry i am like all the time i feel like i eat non stop i ve heard this hunger is common for breastfeeding mothers and thanks to the huge calorie burn that occurs while nursing i ve lost over 20 pounds since giving birth beach bum james is doing well too he s been such a good boy so helpful and sweet he s still very much in love with his sister and dotes on her constantly she s very taken with him too and whenever she hears his voice she ll move her head around until she finds him james has also been enjoying our mini units and so have i i love how compact and portable they are well that s about all for now i ll try to update again in another few weeks i have so many ideas and activities i want to share with you all and i often find myself writing blog posts in my head oh but there is one last thing i do want to mention in the last 6 weeks i ve received dozens of emails with questions i apologize for not being able to respond to any of them i can t say exactly when i ll be able to as life is a bit busy for me at the moment thanks for your understanding and patience in the meantime please be sure to check my faq post to see if i ve already addressed your question s hope you re all doing well and that

occasion it s heaven seeing the two of them together my husband and i are just as proud as can be and feel so very blessed to have these two loves in our lives ps i am beyond happy to report that

many of you have sent my way thank you for that your words mean more to me than you know i ll certainly miss all of your positive and encouraging comments over the coming months especially since that s when i m likely to need them most wish me luck in this new journey as a mother of two i hope you all have a lovely fall season blessing hugs love and all that good stuff mari ann posted by counting coconuts at 3 15 pm 58 comments labels baby thursday august 18 2011 august sensory tub back to school one last sensory tub for the road i sure will miss creating these over the next few months since james will still have school with my husband i decided to go with a back to school theme for this tub i ve been wanting to make this for a while but opted for a fall apple theme last year instead here s what s inside shredded notebook paper james under my supervision used a shredder machine to make this personalized pencil case i won this in a giveaway james can pack the supplies in the pouch and i know he ll love using the zipper crayons pencils erasers which can be added to the pencil tops for a fine motor activity pencil sharpener to be used with the pencils of course scissors james can further cut the shredded paper paper clips these can be used to make chains see our recent activity involving this wooden alphabet tiles with little holes at the top to be used with the lacing string in the pencil pouch number beads 0 10 can also be laced foldable ruler no clue where this came from i ve had it for years tiny yarn apples knitted by me last year colorful shapes they link together mini homemade notebook james can use the pencils he s sharpened or the crayons to draw inside of the notebook small alphabet book school bus calendar cards back to school novelty buttons found at joanne s years ago james had since grown tired of the transportation tub and the pond tub so this new one was welcomed with opened arms his favorite thing so far is the foldable ruler click the button below to see a full list of my sensory tubs or click here to view my slideshow on the counting coconuts facebook page thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 8 00 am 6 comments labels fall sensory tubs thanksgiving wednesday august 17 2011 homemade notebooks you guys have been making me laugh lately whenever i put out a new post i ll undoubtedly get an email or a comment telling me to just relax and rest before the baby comes i suspect you think i m running around like a crazed pregnant women stuck in a crafting frenzy well minus the running part i suppose that s a pretty accurate statement but what you must realize is that 1 i love crafting and 2 creating things is a very relaxing pastime to me laying around and watching tv makes me anxious i need to be doing something with my hands since we re officially done with school for a while i ve had more time to just sit and craft hence my recent posts it s been wonderful and very restful and thanks to the plethora of ideas out on pinterest i ve been at no risk for running out of crafty projects i ran across this idea from simple home stuff and went right to my happy place in making some homemade notebooks these are actually a much needed supply in our classroom since pre made store bought notepads the kind with blank pages for drawing are ridiculously expensive here and my child is one of those who likes a fresh sheet of paper for oh say every new line he draws sure i gently encourage him not to do that and sure we use scrap paper and the back of old documents etc but when it comes to creating i understand the need for a clean slate also there s something alluring about a book of paper at least to me and james anyway i won t bother sharing a full on tutorial since these are so easy to make basically i just used cardboard boxes from various food items i cut them into a variety of sizes and folded them in half to make a book then i folded sheets of printer paper fyi here s where the cost saving lies when looking at the paper ratio the price of a ream of paper is far cheaper than a pre made notepad and then cut the paper down to the size of the cardboard after that i simply stacked and then stapled the paper in middle at the fold of the book easy peasy i know james will get a kick out of the images on the cardboard but i m a little particular when it comes to how things look in my classroom so i covered some of the books with interesting scrapbook paper see first photo those will go on our shelves for various works while the others will be for everyday use outside the classroom the great thing about these is that they fit right into my purse so bringing them to a restaurant or doctor s office or adding them to one of our activity kits will be a cinch i made some mini notebooks too just because i thought they were cute i added a couple to the sibling gift i made earlier this week another great thing about these notebooks is that they re reusable all you have to do is pull out the staple and add more paper thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 10 15 am 14 comments labels homemade goodies learning tools tuesday august 16 2011

bag is packed countless lists have been made everything s all set and ready for our little baby girl s arrival one final preparation was this gift to james from his new sister i read that it s a good idea to get an older sibling a special gift from the new one i suppose so they get off on the right foot ha i was inspired by this idea from ms martha stewart to put together a little package of goodies in one of my handmade gift bags i included some of james favorite things a disposable camera he loves taking pictures and i thought it d be cute for him to take some of his new sister a mini homemade notebook with a tiny pencil he s really into writing notes lately some fun bugs a small container of gummy bears a wrapped gift dollar store binoculars and a special homemade card i m bringing the gift to the hospital with me and we ll give it to james when he meets his sister i can t wait to see my two loves together for the first time thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 6 25 pm 26 comments labels baby pattering with paper clips i heard about these links and patterning cards and went around the island in search of them but not surprisingly i came up empty handed that s one fun benefit of living in a place where resources and selection is limited you re forced to become inventive i realized the links are really nothing more than paperclips without the clip the point is the link and you can certainly do that with paperclips and the cards were easy enough to create in word james will use the them as a guide to create various patterns abab aabb etc i m making these cards available to you just click this link to download as with all of my printables these are for your personal use only please do not sell or offer them in a giveaway thank you oh and here s another paperclip activity james came up with he began creating letter and number shapes with the clips so i dug out these jumbo cardboard numbers for him to use as a template big hit fyi i think the cardboard numbers were found at michael s crafts thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 9 45 am 14 comments labels diy activities learning tools math saturday august 13 2011 autumn calendar cards a while back on my cc facebook page i took a poll about which style of calendar cards i should make next quite a few of you gave your input thank you and it was a tight race but i ultimately chose an autumn harvest theme i hope you find them useful in the coming months click here to download keep in mind that i format these myself so they re not perfect but they ll certainly get the job done also as with all of my printables these are for your personal use only please do not sell or offer them in a giveaway thank you and enjoy thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 9 45 am 9 comments labels fall printables friday august 12 2011 tic tac toe jumbo numbers a mini giveaway this giveaway is now closed there how s that a for a creative blog post title ha can you tell i m just really running out of brain power and energy btw only 10 more days til baby comes we ve been taking things really easy lately really easy i haven t felt like doing much and thankfully my sweet boy is quite content to do anything as long as it means we do it together so there s been a lot of reading books coloring and playing simple games like this one i made this tic tac toe board on word you can find the download link on my free printables pag e and i found a variety of things to use as the game pieces game piece options are endless think legos mini erasers coins die cuts toys etc and changing up them up keeps the game interesting in addition to the flat marbles we also used these fruit manipulatives you ve seen us use them in the past and they really are just the most versatile things aside from game pieces you can use them for counting sorting mystery bags poetry baskets practical life work etc i bought them at a garage sale here on the island but you can find them at lakeshore learning another fun learning tool we ve been working with are these jumbo cardboard numbers i ve had these for quite some time and i can t be sure where they came from i think michael s crafts anyway these too are quite versatile in that you can use them in art projects counting activities math games or even as classroom decorations ok as for the giveaway i realized i have an excess of both the jumbo numbers and the fruit manipulatives with a class size of just one child i really don t need all the extras that come in these packs so i thought i d share them with one of you here s what i m offering one set of jumbo numbers 0 9 and 20 fruit manipulatives 5 of 4 different styles apples bananas oranges and grapes basket not included i don t want to make a big deal out of this giveaway because as i said i m just keeping things light right now if you d like to win this little combo pack simply leave a comment on this post but wait now that i think of it if you re in the mood whilst leaving said comment i d sure get a kick out of any baby predictions you d like to make i e what day time you think she ll arrive and maybe even her height weight just for fun and who knows perhaps i ll send a little something to whomever guesses everything correctly for those interested in taking a guess it may help to know i m already 3cm dilated i ve been having
