Hey friends! It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here. Life’s been chaotic and fun; homeschooling, field trips, vacation, and running the kids around to their endless activities has taken up all of my free time. However, we are gearing up to start another school year and I’ve been making different printables to help […]
Reading Log Free Printable
Year 3 of our homeschooling adventure started a few weeks ago. It’s the first year for me to (officially) teach both of my kids at the same time. While Lorelai (almost 13 now!) is mostly independent, there are still a few subjects I like to oversee. Madeline started her kindergarten curriculum and it’s been a […]
Nature Walk Observations & Scavenger Hunt Printable
Going on nature walks/hikes is one of our favorite things to do as a family. We regularly visit local parks and nature centers and just explore for a few hours. I decided to make an updated scavenger hunt/observation form for Lorelai to fill out today. This one is pretty basic and aimed for older kids, […]
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 […]
Valentine’s Reading Challenge Printable
Whether you have a reluctant reader or a book worm, a reading challenge is always a good incentive to get your child reading – and keep them reading! My daughter happens to fall in the latter category; she’s never far from a book and usually has her nose stuck in one. I decided to make […]
Tooth Fairy Printable Stationary
Losing a tooth is quite the ordeal for kids, including mine. While some kids are eager to lose their teeth, mine is scared to death. She was so gentle with her top-front loose tooth; she ate with her side teeth, gently brushed it, and wouldn’t let her father or I near it. It finally came […]
Lotso’s Birthday Party with Printable Invites
The guests: Baking Lotso’s Birthday “Cake” The Birthday Boy & His Cake I am very happy to announce that last week, Lorelai’s beloved Lotso turned 4 years-old. I made up some simple invitations and we had a low-key party on the patio. Lore baked him a cake with sand (the leaves are candles). Apparently he […]
Printable Weight Chart
I’m always on the lookout for new tools to aid my weight loss journey. A while ago I made a simple weight loss printable that was very plain. I spruced it up a bit yesterday and am now offering it for printing. I hope someone is able to use it!! Laminate and use a dry-erase […]
Exercise Printable
I made this printable to help keep track of my exercise throughout the week, and wanted to share in case anyone else could get some use out of it. I printed it and plan on laminating it in a bit so that I can just wipe off and re-use. If you don’t have a laminator, […]
Turtle Craft with Printable
We have been so incredibly successful at staying busy that we haven’t had any time to do any crafts! I have one or two planned before our trip next week, but I doubt we’ll be able to get to this one. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while – I asked if anyone […]
Giraffe Worksheet & Craft
Motivated despite being sick, I printed out a couple of worksheets and whatnot that I made last week. The first is very similar to the Ladybug Worksheet, but with giraffes! There are two versions – one with numbers already printed in the circles, and one without. I printed the one without so that I could […]
Thumbprint Valentine Flowers with Printable
I wasn’t planning on doing any crafts today since we baked (blueberry muffins) this morning. We did 3 yesterday so I wasn’t expecting her to ask me this afternoon to do a craft, but she did. So while she ate, I made a quick template and printed it off… She made these “Thumbprint Valentine Flowers” […]
Printable Valentine Pets
Last night while doing the elephant, M came over and said I should make a cat for Lorelai since she is [STILL!] obsessed with them. He had to help me a lot on it because the vision was just not there, but we got it. It’s not perfect, but it’s Valentine-y. 🙂 He had to […]
Valentine Elephant Craft
We have all been enjoying the valentine animals that Lore has crafted. We have them displayed on the book shelves, on the fridge, etc. I saw something similar to this craft on the Disney website and decided to make my own version of it into a printable. Lore was happy that she got to do […]
Mini Owl Craft
Yes, those are indeed mini owls! We did the larger version {view here} earlier this week and Lorelai was stoaked about it. Then yesterday, while going through her crafts, she said that the owl needed some babies. Thinking it was a great idea, I resized the template and now it’s a printable for everyone to […]
Lovely Owl Craft Printable Craft
Candice, a friend of mine, made this awesome little owl valentine to hang in her office. I wanted to ask her immediately if I could steal it to do with Lorelai, but waited a week or so before begging. LOL! So when I asked Lorelai last night what kind of craft she wanted to do […]
Ladybug Worksheet
I’ve been working on numbers and counting with Lorelai for what seems like whatever. Unfortunately, she seems to take after me when it comes to numbers and not liking them overmuch. So I made this worksheet for her last night during a fit of insomnia. The point behind it is to get her to recognize […]
Unicorn Craft
We started this craft/picture/whatever at the same time we did the unicorn Color By Numbers page, but I wanted to wait to blog it until I was able to cut out and assemble the full picture. This is, of course, also a printable for those who have unicorn-loving children who like to do crafts. Lorelai […]
Color By Numbers: Unicorns
Open Color By Numbers – Unicorns Printable I stayed up a while last night putting today’s craft and CBN sheet together with some horse dingbats I found online. It’s no secret that Lorelai loves unicorns. They’re pretty much her favorite animal (haha) at the moment. She sleeps with her unicorn pillow pet and cuddles with […]
Color By Numbers: Dinosaurs
We did this dinosaur color by numbers printable today. A friend on FB suggested dinosaurs next and it was perfect since we’ve done a lot of dinosaur activities lately. The link to download and print is at the bottom. We also switched it up and instead of coloring, used paint. Lorelai loved this. I didn’t […]
