I just love discovering cool new things. And I also love when I get to GIVE THEM TO YOU! I had the opportunity to interview one of the creators of Study.com (so awesome!) and they have graciously offered to have me host a giveaway for THREE of you! I am so excited to partner with…
Swat the ABC Balloons
We always seem to have oodles of balloons around, which makes them perfect for learning games. A little while ago we played this alphabet recognition game using balloons which was a huge hit (literally) with my little guys, and I think perhaps yours might like it too. We call it Swat the ABC Balloons! It…
Bear-y Fun Preschool Math Games!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dare Bear Paws. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you know one of the things I love most about preschoolers? How much they LOVE learning. Math, letters, science – you name it. These little people are so curious and inquisitive and just can’t wait…
Kid-Made Rollerskates!
There are certain posts that I never plan on writing. A post on how to make your own rollerskates? Definitely not something that I thought was in my wheel house to share.

Easter Egg Name Puzzles
Another holiday approaching means another name puzzle on the blog! I will do a round up once I have finished my first year of blogging with all of our name puzzles – like this Christmas tree one, and the Halloween pumpkin. For our Easter name puzzle I took some inspiration from Hands on as we…
STEPPING Up the Reading!
Oh exciting things are happening in this house of ours — Sammy is starting to read. As a teacher, I just love this stage of child development. He knows all his sounds and blends and he is starting to sound out words all on his own. He is so excited about it, he is ready…
Clothespin Build-a-Snowman
It came! It finally came! And much in the Northern way we are used to — late at night, with barely a warning. A good six inches at least … and on the very same night these newbie farmers ran out of propane in their big old farmhouse. Oh yes, the snow. And I do…
