Super Cute & Easy Birthday Banner

I am posting the template to make this banner over on SIMPLY COMPLICATED. All you need is some scrapbook paper (trimmed to 8 1/2 x 11 if you need to), ribbon, & glue. It is SUPER EASY!!!

Preschool Worksheets

I am always on the lookout for great websites with free printables. I came across TLSBOOKS.COM, a website full of printables. There are so many to choose from. The age/grade groups are on the left hand side. Once you select your grade...then scroll down a bit & you have the categories to select from. Kaden's school has been mailing him worksheets & I really wanted Preston to feel included. We have been working on the Preschool & Kindergarten worksheets. The boys love spending a little bit of time doing "homework" & they get special one-on-one time & attention.

School Shopping

My oldest is getting ready to start kindergarten & I am so excited to take him "school shopping". I remember going school shopping with my mom when I was young & I loved it! I want to make it a memorable experience for him. I am a list maker. I have lists for EVERYTHING! So, when I saw THIS Back to School list..I knew I had to share it. This week we will have to have a "Fashion Show" to see what still fits.

Here is the example that she provided:



And here is the blank list:

About May Day

I have been doing some research on May Day. Here is a simple explaination for May Day, but I will give you a basic summary.

May Day is celebrated on May 1st. It is to welcome spring into your home & is a celebration of the reappearance of the flowers in the spring. Many people celebrate by making crafts to exchange with their friends and neighbors. Flowers are frequently used in the different activities and crafts. The most common May Day custom is to secretly leave a basket of flowers or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob or doorstep.

How fun would it be to find a cute flower basket (real or fake) hanging on your door. I don't know about you, but that would really brighten my day!

Wondertime has a cute flower template & you could put a Hershey kiss, Rolo, or mini Reese's peanut butter cup for the center of the flower. Get creative with whatever you have in your house! Stick it on a popsicle stick or a pipe cleaner & there you have a cute flower!

This is all still pretty new for me, so I am sure I will be posting some more ideas that I have found on the Internet & also some that we actually make.

I was doing my morning blog surfing & came across this website. It is called Busy Bee Kids Crafts & they have some really cute ideas to do with your munchkins. I love the daffodils.
