I want to share this activity early. This way you have time to find these Easter Gummies. I found mine at Sam’s Club. They are made by Betty Crocker. The little packs are yummy and cute. See.. . I created a sorting sheet and graph to match the gummy candy. The sorting is for prek […]
Mermaid Cake
I have to share a picture of this awesome mermaid cake made by my sister-in-law for her daughter’s third birthday. It is super creative and I think it is so great how she used the chocolate mold chips (the ones you normally melt – as seen below) to decorate the cake. My sister-in-law makes awesome […]
Rolling Shamrocks Game
One of my favorite holidays to celebrate with my kiddos and in the classroom is coming around the corner. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and it will be here in a few days!! Here’s a fun dice game my kiddos played today. I like it because they both can play it together independently. My four year old […]
Moo… It is Monday!
Okay, I saw this cartoon and had to laugh. I have a muffin top and I hate it! Maybe I should love my body and be positive about it like the girl in the cartoon… I will say my muffin top is shrinking a bit and I like seeing it shrink… Don’t worry, I won’t be […]
Convience Without High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
My son loves his PB&J sandwiches. I would often buy the kind Smucker’s makes. They are yummy. He loves them and they even have ones made with whole wheat. They look like this: One problem, flip over the box and you will notice HFCS is right there as one of the top ingredients… So I […]
Turning Four!
It is hard to believe that our Cindy Lou Who is now four. As I type she sits on my lap curled in a blanket. It’s amazing how fast children grow. It seems like yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital. Now she is a smiling, talking, “I’ll do it myself!” kinda Gal! […]

Giving up chocolate, candy, alcohol etc for Lent…what about that 21st century semi addiction Facebook??? I thought about it last year and blogged about it too. I was weak then and gave up Diet Coke instead. This year as I sat down thinking up what I should give up… I started to think of some […]
Moooo…. It’s Monday!
This week (well basically this weekend) was a diet killer. Clean eating out the window. However I did get in a salad and some veggies. Mostly I ate fattening restaurant dishes, had some very sugary snacks, and drank wine till I felt a little sick. Sometimes spending time with old friends & family over the weekend […]
Olympic Learning!
Just a few idea to use with your classroom or kiddos over the winter Olympics! Get black sheet paper and cover a bulletin board with it. Place a sports boarder around the board. On a computer generate a red, white, and blue sign with the title, “Going for the Gold in Room 1!” Make the […]
First Grade is too Early to Learn About the Birds and the Bees…
My son brings home books every week. They are allowed to take out three books. My son often runs to the nonfiction section and picks out three books on the same topic. For weeks he was bringing home books on different bugs and then for weeks after that it was different forms of weather. Later, […]
