C is for Cat Coloring Page
This week Harper and I are studying the letter C. Harper attends preschool, but I am a firm believer that education continues when you get home, and any extra help she can get will benefit her as she enters the fast paced world of kindergarten.
I have been designing a coloring page, creating a craft and selecting a fun book to focus on each week. I hope you will pin these totally free coloring page printables so you can use them and share them with other little learners in your life.

Harp loves this simple design, it gives her a chance to trace her letter of the week. She can color a picture associated with the letter and of course, the story to wrap it all up is always a hit. This week we are recommending Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This is one of Harps all time favorites!

Death Star Valentine Box
This up-cycled Death Star Valentine's Box was made with simple materials to create a fun way to collect cards and then play after the holiday has ended for Jedi's in training. This is a perfect nerdy date idea!
This post contains affiliate links or was sponsored.
When we got the letter about making a Valentine Box with Rolf, my husband giggled maniacally. He had been crossing his fingers that this would be the year Rolf could take a Valentine's box to the party! He had an idea he had been kicking around for quite sometime, and that was to create a Death Star for our little Star Wars Expert that he could continue to use long after Valentine's Day had passed.
To recreate the Death Star, you will need:
an old soccer ball
something round to create the Super Laser Focus Lens black paint
white paint
blue paint
gray paint
a utility knife
mod podge
Directions:
Cut around one hexagon on the soccer ball, making 5 slices to accommodate your hand reaching into the ball.
Paint the ball black, using at least 2 coats.
Add the gray details, based upon your interpretation of the Death Star.
Add the white and blue details also based on your interpretation of the Death Star.
Cover the Death Star with 2 coats of mod podge.
Paint your circular part black, adding whatever details you see fit. Our Super laser Focus Lens is compromised of 3 large washer type parts. Attach this with a screw with a cap on the back if possible.
We used a Noxzema jar lid painted to look like space as a base for this.
Rolf had an out of this world cool Valentine Box, and as a bonus, he can now fit many of his Star Wars action figures in his Death Star for easy storage and enhanced play in a galaxy far far away.
If you liked this easy craft idea, you will dig this cute little yoda puppet too!

Recovery After Childbirth
Pregnancy and childbirth put a massive strain on your body. It spends months changing
and developing as it grows and houses your baby, giving up some of its own needs to look
after the life it's now responsible for. Pregnancy is a marathon, and it changes all of the time.
You get used to the morning sickness, then it's gone, and you're hit with swelling and exhaustion.
Even the best pregnancies are hard work.
Then, there's the birth itself. Your body has been working hard for 40 weeks (on top of all of the
hard work it does the rest of the time) and now it's got this mammoth challenge to contend with
Then, it's over. You've given birth; your baby is here. But, far from getting time to relax and
recover, you've got a baby to take care of. Night feeds, colic, nappy changes and cuddles
are all suddenly your job, and you've got no time to recover from the massive physical effort
you’ve just been through. Here's some advice to help you.
Sleep
Sleep is probably what you need the most, and what you are going to get the least of. Even if
your baby is a good sleeper, there will be night feeds for the first few months. Ask your partner
to help as much as they can. Even if you are exclusively breastfeeding, they could get up and
do nappy changes and then bring the baby to you to feed. Then, try to nap in the daytime when
Assess the Damage
Pregnancy and childbirth affect us all in different ways. Which means we all recover at a
different rate. One of the first things you should do is take stock of the damage. If you are
lucky, you'll have some stomach cramps and a bit of soreness which passes on its own in a
few days.
If you're not so lucky, you may have stitches which need looking after, heavy bleeding,
fissures, infections and caesarean stitches. If you have any of these problems, it's important
to keep an eye on your recovery, so that you know when you need more help. If you don't think
to have a look.
Drink Water
Your body is trying to get back to normal, your uterus is shrinking back, you are bleeding,
you're tried, and you've got no time to take care of yourself. It's only normal to feel exhausted
and dehydrated. Make sure you settle down for every feed with a glass of water and a
healthy snack to give your body a boost and improve your mood.
Lie Down
You could be very sore for a few days or even weeks after the delivery. This is normal, but
you may find that sitting down makes it worse. Avoid hard seats, using a cushion when you
can, and lie down when you can to take the pressure off and give your body a chance to heal.
Exercise
You certainly won't want to rush out and run a 10k the week after giving birth. In fact, you
should avoid any strenuous activity for at least six weeks and then build up slowly when
you do start keeping fit again. But, some exercise is good.
Your stomach muscles have been through a tremendous ordeal to accommodate your
growing child, and now they need to go back to normal. Spend a little time each day gently
tensing them and holding the tense for a few seconds. As you get stronger, hold for longer.
But, if you have any pain, stop and rest before carrying on.
You should also do Kegel exercises to help everything else get back to normal. This will stop
any incontinence and help any stitches you may have had heal by increasing blood flow to the
area. Again, start gently, then add more reps and longer tenses as you start to feel better.
Take Stock of Your Feelings
The baby blues are completely normal, and most women experience anxiety, fear and sadness
to some extent. Your whole life has changed, your body hurts, your hormones are all over the
place, and you feel like you'll never get a good night's sleep again. A little mood fluctuation is to
be expected.
If at any point you feel it's more than this, or like it's not getting any better, speak to a
professional who can offer you further advice.
