Hey y’all! Long time no post. Life has been super crazy, including a major move BACK TO TEXAS! More on that later. For now, let’s focus on August. August is when most kids go back to school, including mine. (Well, she’ll be homeschooled this year, but I digress.) We have done quite a few school-themed […]
500 Books by 5 Years-Old – Printable Reading Log & Incentives
500 Books by 5 years-old… do you think you and your child could do it? If you read a book a day you’ll be well on your way. Add in story-time and it will be a breeze. I decided to start this challenge with my 2 (almost 3) year-old, Maddie. She has always loved reading […]
10 Books with Crafts
Over the years, we have done many, many crafts. A handful of what we have done were inspired by books! Books are my little one’s absolute favorite thing. At 6, she loves her chapter books, but we still go back to the classic picture books she loved so much when she was younger. Here is […]
Tiger Printable Craft
I said last week that we were finished with our Endangered Animals unit, but I was wrong. I decided to re-make a few crafts because the originals were cartoon-y and Lore had forgotten about everything we had learned. The tiger was one of those. We did the baby tiger cub & tightrope tiger ages ago […]

Printable Police Officer Craft
Lorelai was very restless this evening. Dinner and dishes were done, everything was quiet, and she was… BORED! Dun, dun, dun! It seems like she’s “soooooo booooooored” (her words) all the time. She turns 5 next month. This whole ‘bored’ phase shouldn’t be starting yet, right? Anyway, she ended up finding the police officer printable […]
Scratch-N-Sniff Watercolor Paint
Today is all about the sense of SMELL! Lorelai did 3 fun craft activities this morning, and this is one of them. I saw an article on E-How about making watercolors with Koolaid packets. I thought it was pretty much genius and when M (my husband) went out last night to run some errands, I […]
