Family Calendar & Message Wall

Are you an organizer? I love EVERYTHING about organizing! I love baskets, little compartmentalized drawers, family planners, and labeling anything in my house that sits still. What I love the most are Calendars!  My favorite thing to do in December is to pick out the new calendar that goes on our refrigerator.  One calendar is […]

Art wall for Children

I promised in my last post that I would start showing you our home school classroom.  Well, I’ve been known to stretch the truth. Seriously, I promise it is under way.  I’ve moved most of the boys’ toys upstairs to the loft, and I’ve organized all of the learning toys and manipulatives onto the shelves. […]

Chalkboard Gifts for Teachers

I finally got THE call from my kid’s Pre-school teachers to set up their home visit to meet the boys. That means it is time for school to start back!  We are super excited about our teachers! I know we are gearing up to home school, but we are not 100% certain we will continue into […]

No Take-out Pizza

It’s Friday night, everyone is tired from a long week, and what do you do for supper? We use to turn to take-out pizza until I discovered the easiest and cheapest thing in the world is to make your own pizza. Let me tell you, after you make this, you will never order take-out again. […]

Modern Lesson Planner

A few days ago I gave you the new Apple Lesson Planner for Teachers and Homeschool Parents. As promised, I have a new lesson planner for you. This one is a little more teacher friendly.  I added a few more pages that I used as a teacher.  Let’s just take a minute to look at […]

Apple Lesson Planner

I know that many of my teacher friends are busy trying to get their classrooms ready for those kiddies, and unless the school provides their lesson planner, they are searching for the perfect one! I’ve worked hard to get this ready for my own planning, but also so that teachers and homeschool parents will have […]

Calendars

I can’t believe it is time for school to start back!  Where did summer go?? When I started thinking about home schooling my children, I wanted to give it a trial run before committing full time.  Both of my boys are enrolled in Pre-school this year, the oldest for 3 days, and the younger one […]

Curriculum for Ages 3-4

When I began the process for planning curriculum for my children, I started in the logical place – our State Department of Education.  Unfortunately, like many states, they do not make it easy to find curriculum for pre-school students, or they do not provide it at all.  I found a few states that did list […]

Curriculum for Ages 2-3

When I began the process for planning curriculum for my children, I started in the logical place – our State Department of Education.  Unfortunately, like many states, they do not make it easy to find curriculum for pre-school students, or they do not provide it at all.  I found a few states that did list […]

Elaborate Lunch

Post number two!  Can I get a “WHAT, WHAT?”   Trying to get the hang of this thing. I’m so glad my hubs and his BFF, Ben Hepworth from Geek Your Blog, get all giggly and school girl squealy when they talk “blog”.  Thanks for your expertise, Benny boy!  You too, Babe!  You rock, even […]
