One of my goals this summer was to do more arts and crafts with the littles. Over the years, I've collected a lot of craft items and it's time they get put to use. One of the first things I wanted to make with AG was a DIY ribbon wand. She's into princess dress up right now and we all know that every princess needs a wand. This project is pretty simple. I know I say that all the time, but it is. All you need is a wooden dowel, ribbon, a ruler and scissors. My little assistant first measured out the ribbon to 24 inches- basically doubling up on the ruler. She then carefully cut each piece ... read more
“Thank you for helping me grow” Free Printable Tags
"It takes a big heart to help shape little minds." As a mom of a little one with two amazing teachers this past year, I took every opportunity to let them know how much I appreciated all they did. One of the gift ideas I did over teacher appreciation week this past year were African Violets with a little printable "thank you" attached. While I used these tags for teacher gifts, they can really be used for a variety of purposes. Dance teachers, Coaches, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day....think about everyone involved in your child's life that in some way is helping him/her. ... read more
Currently- Summer Edition
Week 3 of summer is here. I've spent the last few weeks enjoying some down time, doing fun things with the littles and trying not to think too much about to do lists and work. While I would love to spend the entire summer in this mindset, I do want to use this "off time" to get some things done I haven't had time for this year. So this week is time for me to start on some of those lists and make this as productive of a summer as it will be fun. Here's a little bit of what life has been like currently. ENJOYING There hasn't been a big break in the rain over the past week. On the few times ... read more
“Lifesaver” Gift Tag Printable
A few weeks ago, while in an end of the year whirlwind- I almost completely forgot about gifts for my homeroom moms. It was two days before school was going to get out and I realized I had nothing. When I got home that night, I went through all of my "gifts." You know, the things you pick up here and there- thinking oh this would make a great gift. I went through everything in there and found a bunch of cups. Perfection! When I first started out blogging, I made a lifesaver tag for gifts. I decided it was time to update the tags. I can't believe those were made so long ago! This is what I ... read more

Well, hello June! Summer may not officially start until the end of June, but it started early for me this week. School is out for the summer. I have eight weeks "off" work.

So Sweet Printable Gift Tags
So Sweet Printable Gift Tags I think I speak for most women when I say I love Target. More specifically, the Target Dollar Spot. It's the first thing I check out when I go there, after I grab my coffee of course. I love how all of the items changes with the season. It's where I find so many things for gift baskets for the littles and small gifts. Recently, there was a section that had a bunch of ice cream and sweet things items (cookies, donuts.) Pencils, notepads, erasers, notebooks, etc. I thought they were adorable and would make a cute thinking of you or thank you gift, so I grabbed a ... read more
Friday Favorites
This week has absolutely flown by. All week I've been a day behind, which isn't a bad problem to have. As of right now, there are only two Fridays left of the school year and one is a half day. You guys, summer is so close I can feel it. I've been daydreaming of laying by the beach with a drink in hand far too often. I've also been working on my summer to do list, which is growing by the day. I cannot wait. Another win today is my post is actually done before 10am! I always start my Friday posts beforehand and leave one thing left to do on Friday morning. I have a break early, so I always ... read more
Strawberry Lemon Muffins
I mentioned a few weeks back I wasn't done with the strawberry recipes. Today is the last recipe from the big batch of strawberries we picked a few months ago. I have to say that this recipe was my new favorite. I've never combined lemon and strawberries in a baked good before, so glad I gave it a try. The combination of sweet and tart is what made these muffins so good. They're also pretty to look at too. When baking muffins or cupcakes, I always let the kids pick out the liners for the pan. AG picked these out to match the lemons on the table. Girl after my own heart! The fresh ... read more
