Intentional

Well, folks, I'm back for the new year!  I can't promise I'll remember to post regularly, but I'll try to post when I can.  I wanted so badly to post many of the projects and recipes we made last year but never got around to it.  Life happened.  I'm sure many of you other moms out there can identify. I'm sure many of you are reading now about making new years goals and resolutions.  I'm not one to try to jump on the bandwagon, but I've been making resolutions since before I was a teenager, and though I fail many…

Word Searches for Preschoolers and Young Elementary – FREE PRINTABLES!

Last week, we planned to stay at home all week and do some different home activities.  One activity I had on our bucket list for the summer was to do a word search or crossword puzzle.  I was somewhat limited, as the kids I was planning for are 3 and 6.  There's only so much they can do with a word search and a crossword puzzle. So after a bit of searching through some blogs, my favorite websites, and (of course!) Pinterest, I ended up with these: I found this Curious George Word Search on TeacherVision.com.  Every so often I…

And I had gone out of my way in the morning to make sure I remembered a change of clothes and a pair of socks ready for the gym. I couldn't believe myself. But I couldn't leave! The front desk…

1 Year and Counting…

Wow! What a fun (and busy!) summer we had. Now we're in the midst of fall and school, soccer seasons, and Wednesday night church programs, homework, and planning for the fall. Does the busyness ever end? I wanted to post a little over a week ago but, as usual, ran out of time! I was excited to (internally) celebrate my one year anniversary of being a (sort of) stay at home mom! October 1 was my first official day as an unemployed mother, and I can honestly I would never go back. While the circumstances that surrounded my leaving my…

Teaching Kids to Set the Table – FREE PRINTABLE!

One goal of mine last week was to begin teaching my kids to set the table.  Now, seeing as I have a teenager, a pre-teen, an elementary-schooler, and a preschooler, you may be wondering what took me so long.  Well, I don't know how things work at your house, but over here it doesn't matter how many times I tell them--they always forget!  So this time I found the perfect solution. I LOVE this printable placemat that I found at Parents Magazine website.  They usually have a lot of good resources for activities, crafts, printables, and plain old parenting advice.…
