My grandson will soon be 5 yo. He has shown little interest in learning to read. So I made the letters in his name using I-cord and wire. So he can hold them in his hand, play find the letter, and other games that are not pencil and paper type activities. This will make the letters more fun. And he will start to look for those letters everywhere, signs, TV ads, books, etc.

Look what arrived today ladies, so excited 💕💕

Remember the basket I was planning to make from I-cord for my daughter? I had to put it off until I met a deadline for the book I am writing. I have met the first deadline and am in a waiting mode. So I have started the bottom of her basket. This the bottom. Taking a break before starting the sides.

Yep. It happened. After working so hard to keep that little 🔥 beside my name... I LOST IT. I've been running on exhaustion after 16+ hour days for several weeks while doing the craft show, and Saturday night I simply forgot to do the activities that would roll over and count toward Sunday. By the time I realized it... Goodbye, little flame. 😂😭🔥 And you know what? I'M GOING TO GET IT BACK. The craft show finishes October 22nd, and right now I'm reminding myself of something I've been telling all of you: We don't have to be perfect to keep participating. I could look at that missing flame and think, “Well, there goes my streak.” Instead, I'm looking at it and thinking... DAY 1. LET'S GO. 🔥😂 I'll start building my streak again, one day at a time. So if you've lost YOUR fire icon during this challenge—or you haven't earned one yet—don't get discouraged! Remember our Momentum Makers motto: 🔥 GET IT. KEEP IT. OR GET IT BACK! 🔥 Apparently, I'm officially in the GET IT BACK category now. 🤣 And maybe that's not such a bad thing. Because now I get to prove right alongside you that losing your streak doesn't mean you've failed. It just means you start another one. ❤️ So who's trying to get their 🔥 back with me? DAY 1 starts NOW! 🧶🔥❤️
