Heart to Home | Music Therapy Session

Another fun music therapy session this week at Mendakota Manor.  The therapists at www.LivingSpiritTherapy.com are outstanding!  The photos are a bit grainy...

Heart to Home | Visit from Charlie

Everyone loves visiting with Charlie and Charlie loves all of the treats and attention he gets from the residents at Heart to Home :)

We also took one of our residents to the Eagan Community Center walking track for some walking excercise.  We walked the full 11 laps = 1 mile!  We are eagerly waiting for the snow to melt so we can get outside for walks in the neighborhood.  The walking paths by Heart to Home are excellent.

Heart to Home | More fun artwork!

Enjoyed some fun artwork at Heart to Home this evening at Mendota Manor!  At Mendakota Manor we enjoyed Bingo with our homeschool volunteers...  Fun times at H2H!

Heart to Home | More Valentine's Crafts!

Another round of fun Valetine's Crafts at Heart to Home!  Working with paints and glues to make beautiful sun catchers.  It was fun to watch the colors mix and create beautiful blending effects and new colors. 

Heart to Home | Valentine's Projects

A fun Valentine's project via Pinterest!  The residents at Mendakota Manor used tissue paper to make heart shaped "stained glass" cutouts to hang on the windows.  They were a fun project that allowed us to work on increasing our fine-motor skills.  The residents at Mendota Manor worked on decorating heart shaped cookies complete with pink frosting and sprinkles - another great fine-motor activity!

Heart to Home | Let's Dish!

Snuck out into the cold for a quick resident outing to Let's Dish today!  Always fun to pick out their delicious meals, plus Kathy threw in some heart shaped cookies for us to bake and decorate for Valentines day :)

Heart to Home | Cuddling Up With A Puppy

There's not much that can compare to cuddling with a warm puppy on a cold winter day!  The residents at Heart to Home have sure enjoyed the snuggles...  The smiles are priceless!
