One of the ways that I love to relax is knitting. I don't do your regular needle knitting, I do loom knitting. I've been loom knitting for about a year, but I've really just begun getting my creative juices flowing with it. Pretty much anything you can make on regular knitting needles, you can do on a loom.
Here's some of the recent projects that I've made:

This is an acorn hat I made for my 18 month old son. He loves this thing and he actually keeps it on.

Here's a Bunny Rabbit hat I made. I haven't decided who to give it to yet.

This is a Spring hat I made for my 4 yr old daughter.
This is the hat I just finished this weekend for my 7 yr old daughter. She loves it so much that she wears it inside, too.

This is Mary Jane Booties I made to match the Bunny Rabbit Hat.

I got my knitting loom at JoAnn Fabrics. I used one of their 40% off coupons to buy them for super cheap.
If you're interested in more information on Loom Knitting or buying a custom knitted hat, please let me know.

Uno!!

I have got to share with you how great a game Uno is.  My kids got it for Christmas and I think they've played with that game more than any other toys they got.  It's just the original card game, not any of the fancy newer ones, but they sure like it.  Even our 4 year old daughter liked playing it with us. 
Uno is a great game to help teach colors, numbers and addition.  Plus, it is a nice, inexpensive and fun game.
Also, I saw on a television commercial that during this week, Uno is only $1 at participating Targets, while supplies last.
