Lunch and Bookfair with Mr. J

Ms. T & I went to have lunch with Mr. J yesterday at school!

I swear it still doesn't seem like my little man should be in Kindergarten.

Anyhow, after lunch we made a stop by the bookfair...and would you know it, Mr. J went and didn't buy not one single book!

Silly boy!

{Free} Printable School Money Notes/Labels

I must share this goody I just found!

I was perusing the blog world and checked out one of my favorite blogs, Anything But Perfect.

She is sharing one of the cutest things ever....printable School Money Notes.

I have two kiddos in school (Ms. T in preschool & Mr. J in Kindergarten) so I'm always sending notes and money in for some reason or another.

Now, I can do it in a cute fashion!



Coutdown to Halloween {Advent Calendar}

(Please ignore the horrible-ness of the photo...the photos were taken with my phone)

33 days! That's how many days there are until Halloween!!!

We are super giddy in my home about the impending holiday.

To help curb the "mommy when's halloween?" "how much longer 'til we get to dress up and trick or treat?" questions, I've come up with an advent calendar!

There is a suprise (goody) or an activity for each day until October 31st.

I wanted to make an advent calendar for the kids and while perusing Pinterest and Tip Junkie, I found some oh so cute calendar tutorials. BUT..I honestly wasn't diggin' the whole thought of loading us all up and heading to the store for the supplies. So, I raided my house!

That's right, everything I have used to make this was found in my house!

My supplies were:

Lg posterboard

Cardstock

Ribbon

Computer print out numbers

Glue

Glitter

All I did was cut my card stock into squares and glued them on to the posterboard to create a pocket. I took my ribbon and just glued it about on the cardstock. Then I printed out numbers from my computer and glued them to the cardstock and ribbon. For my halloween word, I wrote it out in glue and covered it in glitter. Then I printed out from my computer the activity slips that include photos of the activity.

Super cheap and the kids will have tons of fun and something to look forward to each day!

I'm Back! {Pic HEAVY}

Man, I have been a major slacker with my blog. We've had alot going on here lately. Birthday photo shoot, birthday celebration, school visits with the nephew & kiddos, school field trips, Mr. Homemaker's new job, the county fair, and getting ready for fall! Whew...I'm just tired reading that! :)

Just as a little update, I'll leave you with photos of what we've been up to! I'll be back tomorrow with a nifty DIY project I've made for the kids!
