This is week I did a caterpillar/butterfly post with pictures and a video of our caterpillars turning into butterflies. Then I ended it with another video of dancing like a butterfly with dancing ribbons. http://www.stringskeysandmelodies.blogspot.com/2012/05/dance-of-but...

Then I did a little video to help one of my students practice his newest piano song. http://www.stringskeysandmelodies.blogspot.com/2012/05/dance-of-but...

I did two posts on a magazine blog concerning my accident and getting my life back in balance. http://www.stringskeysandmelodies.blogspot.com/2012/05/getting-life...

And if you are in the Sacramento, CA area, I posted a list of music classes we are offering at our home studio.http://www.stringskeysandmelodies.blogspot.com/2012/05/music-classe...

Thanks for reading!

You've been busy! I'm getting ready to order our caterpillars! We've never done the caterpillar to butterfly thing. I'm excited! Plus, I'll have all of your fun resources to use.

Tonya,

I think your first two links are to the same post. Do you have the link for the video to practice the piano song?

Thanks,

Jackie

We have had to deal with a monstrous sun burn and even, blisters this past week. So, I wrote a post on our sunburn adventure along with some Sun facts and tips.

Hi everyone!

Today I experimented with an easy and fun homemade playdough recipe! It was a first for us. I have a 2 year old who loves playdough so I couldn't resist to try it.

Check it out here: Homemade Playdough
