DIY Homework Caddy

Let me just start by saying that this DIY Homework Caddy has been a lifesaver at our house. We don't really have room in our house for an extra desk for the kids to work at, so they have to do their schoolwork at the kitchen table. Before I put together these caddies, cleaning up the mess after the kids were done their work was just a nightmare. You know--glue sticks, crayons, pencils all over the table--and no where really to put them. And of course, having limited funds, we were looking for some very inexpensive items to make our…

Princess Anna’s Top Picks for Show and Tell

If you have a preschooler like I do, you're probably familiar with show & tell.  Your kid brings something in.  She shows it to the class.  She tells the class about it. I often wonder how Tinkerbell describes her show & tell item.  At home, it's more like this: "It's my doll and I like to play with her." Well, today was show & tell day.  And pajama day.  Which we love.  But that's a story for another day.
