Robin Bird Craft
One of my favorite things about spring time is all the beautiful robin birds that live around and frequent my yard. Every day we watch as they fly down, walk around and mingle, or hang out on the fence posts. They are such beautiful creatures!

Pond Walk Scavenger Hunt
I have been trying to sneak some learning into our Summer fun this year. I grabbed this book at the library and it created the perfect opportunity for us to go explore a Pond.

Bathroom Printables
I have been super surprised at how many emails I have had the past couple weeks for the bathroom printables I made for my kids bathroom re-do last summer. In an effort to make it a little easier for me, I thought I would just make them available right here for you. I made the printables in PDF format and they were designed to just be printed from your home printer. I used heavy white cardstock when I printed mine. Since I've had several people request ... continue reading...
Fall Bucket List
I finally got our Fall Bucket List finished. I made it similar to our Summer Bucket List, but reduced the size to a 5x7 and limited it to 9 things. I think I was a little over anxious this Summer and we didn't quite get everything on our list checked off. I don't want that to happen again! :) One of the items on our list is a Utah activity (Witches at Gardner Village), so I made a more generic version if you are interested in printing it off for yourself. You can find it HERE. Make sure you ... continue reading...
Pre-K Crash Course Review
My sweet Luke will be starting Kindergarten next week. Although I feel like we've prepared as well as we could for this day to come, we have seriously slacked this Summer in the educational department.

To review cutting and gluing (and shapes), I drew simple shapes ... continue reading...
