Valentine’s Day Freebies! – Blending & Sight Word Games

February 13, 2017

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and today I’m at home nursing a sick child.  There is nothing worse than not being able to help your baby feel better.  This just STINKS.  We could absolutely use the prayers.  Fevers scare the daylights out of me…especially when the Motrin/Tylenol combo doesn’t do a thing to relieve them.  For those of you who will… Read More

5 for Friday…The Valentine Edition

February 14, 2014

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all!!  Do you like to celebrate?!  Or do you think this is a pretty hokey ‘holiday’?!  Honestly, I love it.  And like I said before, it’s not because of the “lovey-dovey” idea behind it all.  It’s just so darn nostalgic for me.  I mean, were elementary school Valentine parties the best or what?!

Last Minute Valentines {My Favorite Pins Edition}

February 12, 2014

I know Valentine’s Day is an especially cheesy {commercial} holiday, but I love it nonetheless.  Really, I love ANY reason to celebrate.  This just happens to be one of my favorites.  Not because of the “lovey-dovey” idea behind it all, but it brings back SO many childhood memories.  Class parties, popcorn balls, Valentine exchanges, decorating shoe boxes…I could go on… Read More

Conversation Heart Math. A Fun, Hands-On Freebie!

February 12, 2014

I’m always looking for ways to make learning hands-on and FUN.  Just like all of you, I scour the dollar bins at Target/Dollar Tree/Wal Mart/{insert store name here} in search of the *perfect* hands-on manipulatives/counters.  Don’t we all love making learning fun?!  Turning the ordinary everyday things into learning materials for our littles?!  Of course we do!   And just… Read More

Coming Up…

February 9, 2014

I love weekends where I have absolutely NOTHING planned.  This weekend was NOT one of those weekends.  My oldest played another exciting game of basketball yesterday {I should also add that these games are nothing short of comical} and then we enjoyed a little family lunch in town.  After lunch, I rushed home to take a little siesta and then… Read More
