{Mommy School} Christmas Tree Fun!

Christmas is just six days away. Can you believe it? This year Christmas has been so much fun. AG is at the age where she is really getting into the holidays. Each day we've been unwrapping her Advent book and doing the activity that goes along with it. We do it everyday after nap time, which is something we both look forward to. The first week of our activities, we focused on Snowmen. The past two weeks, we have focused on Christmas Trees. It has been a great way to focus on the color green and little miss is pretty good at singing Oh Christmas Tree! It's precious to watch, I wish I could ... read more

Ikea Soft Toys for Education

Thank you IKEA for sponsoring this post. Buy a soft toy or children's book  at IKEA between 11/9/14 - 1/3/15 and the IKEA Foundation will donate $1.00 to Save the Children and UNICEF.   Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I played school growing up, always using my little brother as my student. While in high school, I worked at local preschools and my desire to teach continued to grow.

{Mommy School} Snowman Fun!

It's been a while since I've posted a full Mommy School unit. Things have been busy since L made his arrival and sitting down to write these posts hasn't been easy. I have been keeping up with daily activities and crafts with AG. If you follow along with me on IG, you've seen many of those in action.

Today, read all about our snowman activities and come back next week for Christmas tree fun! SNOWMAN FUN! That's ... read more

Christmas Books Advent Calendar with Daily Crafts

This year I wanted to do a countdown to Christmas Advent for AG. She's two and really getting into the holidays this year. I knew it would be something she would enjoy and a tradition I wanted to start for her.  A few years ago I pinned a cute idea where kids unwrapped a book a day throughout the month of December. In anticipation of doing that with AG this year, I stocked up on books after Christmas last year.  I didn't buy any books that weren't at least 50% off.  When planning our our month, I decided that I would take things a step further than just a book. I decided to pair an ... read more
