Happy Friday! The Nordstrom sale started yesterday and I'm here to show you my favorites today. I don't know why but I thought the sale started today (Friday.) When I woke up yesterday, I was surprised to see my inbox flooded with Nordstrom Sale posts. When I first went on the site, I wasn't too impressed with the sale items. I saw a few things that I wanted and decided to head over to the store to see what there was in person. You see, I've been anxiously awaiting this sale for months. Not because of the great deals, but because I had been saving gift cards for Nordstrom from the last 9 ... read more
Friday Favorites
Happy Friday. I don't know about you, but this week just flew by. That is usually how I feel when there is a holiday that falls in the middle of the week. I'm definitely not complaining, but with every week that passes- we're one week closer to the start of the school year. Which means one week closer to the end of summer. I can't even look at the summer to do list I made before school got out. There isn't much I've checked off from the "work/school" list. I need to get started on it....soon. I mean, Target already has all of their back to school stuff out. If that isn't the official summer is ... read more
Patriotic Star Pops
The Fourth of July is a few days away. We're been busy trying to get in all things festive this last week. We've done some crafting, fingerprint designs, we've baked, decorated some more and have made sure to wear as much red, white and blue as possible. One of the fun snacks we made was rice krispie pops. Last year, we tried something similar for Valentine's Day with heart pops. When I spotted patriotic rice krispie cereal at Target, I knew exactly what I was going to do with them. Well, this and one more sweet treat that was finished about 5 minutes before I started typing this post. If it ... read more
Free July 2017 Desktop Wallpapers
Happy July! Can you believe we're half way through 2017? As of today, I'm also half way through summer break. Which makes me a bit sad, but even more- makes me want to make the most of these last 4 weeks of break left. Especially since this is the last summer before the biggest little starts Kindergarten! I want to cry just thinking about it. Over the next month, we'll be working on finishing off our summer bucket list. I'll be working on getting my classroom set up for next year and lots of planning done. Hopefully the work now will pay off when school starts. Today, I'll be updating all ... read more
DIY Ribbon Wand
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

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
