I bought these neat Halloween cookie cutters last year when they were on sale after Halloween for maybe a dollar. And the most incredible thing happened … I remembered I bought them!

A Tiger Chased a Dog…
Have you met Tundra yet? She is a complete sweetheart. Calm, friendly, fabulous with kids … pretty much the perfect dog. But when she was a puppy she was wild. Wild. That was her past though. We try to not focus on that and instead focus on the sweetie she has become. I think of…

Make Any Worksheet Re-usable {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This nifty idea you will actually find in my Year of Quiet Bins Book.

A Sticky Fix {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I had been thinking (and thinking and thinking) about the best way to display my little ones art work. Our pictures can be really big (or very small) and I wanted to change them quite often. Just the other day I decided to…
