The first day of school is fast approaching. I always love to see pictures on Facebook of my friend’s children headed off for their first day of school every year. There are so many cute back to school photo ideas out there. Last year, I created a First Day printable and it was a huge …
So many parents struggle in silence about behavioral issues with their children. We put our best virtual foot forward on Facebook. We pretend that we aren’t struggling at playdates. We present ourselves as though there is nothing wrong because we’re fearful that we’ll be blamed for the struggles our child faces . But in reality, we pray …
We’re coming up on the end of the year, which means a mad dash to get those year end teacher appreciation gifts done. Something that I do each year for Bear’s teacher is make a photo book filled with student interviews and pictures. The teachers have just loved these gifts because they capture the personality …

On St. Patrick’s Day, the leprechauns leave a little special something for each kiddo, but I wanted to do something special for them in the days that lead up to the actual holiday. So I created this fun …
For the letter Y I thought we’d explore something that most kids like: food. Food is a fun topic for kids because it’s something familiar, but also presents the opportunity to explore new things. So I culled our books and found our top five favorite books on food and planned activities around them. Check out …
We’re gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day! It’s such a fun holiday with whimsy, legends, and a boatload of spirit! It’s been a while since I shared a word search for kids with you, so I put together this St. Patrick’s Day word search for you. This St. Patrick’s Day word search is a great resource that can …
I can’t believe that we’re almost to the end of the alphabet in our Toddler Playschool adventure. X proved to be a tricky letter to create a lesson plan around. But thanks to a glimpse of an episode of Pete and the Neverland Pirates, the basis for this week came to me. Pirate activities are …
