It’s Still Winter: A Bucket List and Some Other Things…

It's raining today. And icy. And gloomy. I am naturally a pessimist, but I don't like gloom.  I don't like dark and dreary and things dragging me down and negativity.  I think that's because I know that, the more I'm around it, the more it brings me down.  And the longer I'm down the worse I get.  So needless to say, since I can't control the weather, I'm feeling somewhat gloomy.  Like an Eeyore. No offense to Eeyore, but I'd rather not be him.  I'd rather be like Pooh.  Or even Olaf-like.  (Can you tell we watch a lot of…

Work in Progress Wednesday: Summer Activity Calendar

It's cold outside!  If you live up North, you know what I mean. And for some reason, even though my family is from the northern part of the country, I've never gotten used to the cold weather.  I could spend the rest of my life in the south. Brrrrrr! So today, I'm thinking happy, warm thoughts.  In other words...summer... I know it's a bit early, but as I say every year it's never to early to start planning for summer! And even though we don't have any funds right now, I'm going to go ahead and plan for the best; hopefully…

A Disney Frozen Birthday

Yesterday, we celebrated Princess Anna's birthday. Her birthday is actually in the summer, but having had a summer birthday, I know many people will be out of town for her birthday. Because of that reason, I wanted to make sure she had a successful birthday, so we just celebrated 6 months early. As a family, we will celebrate on her birthday, but her friends were able to celebrate with her this weekend. Her newest favorite Disney character is Princess Anna. If you couldn't tell. Anyway, because her favorite character is Princess Anna, of course we had to have a Disney…

My Top Homeschool Resources

This week, my sister made the comment that she is considering homeschooling my niece for Kindergarten and 1st grade. While I am not one with the patience to do anything like that, props to her! But it got me thinking, as she asked her "teacher friends" about resources. Even though I don't homeschool my kids, I subscribe to many blogs that make learning at home a lot easier. I'm that crazy mom that makes her kids learn over the summer (don't worry, they get more than enough play time!). And I'm glad I do. Over this past summer, my daughter…

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…
