Great Teacher Gift Idea
I wish she had posted this about 3 weeks earlier, since school is already out for us. But I am going to save this idea for next year. My friend, Kameron, made this as a gift for her daughter’s school teacher (who’s last name starts with a G)! Isn’t it cute! The fun thing is,…

"School’s Out for Summer" Breakfast–Orange Julius and Shaped-Pancakes
I saw this idea a while ago on Emily’s blog (check out her cool Eiffel Tower pancakes!). I have been wanting to do this with my kids, but was waiting for the opportune moment. Kira finished first grade yesterday, and with no where to be this morning, it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate!…

Pirate Files
I’m saving this idea for Trenton’s pirate birthday in a year and 4 months. Yes, it is a little ridiculous that I am planning a birthday party for more than a year out, but we are trying to stay on track for the space/astronaut-themed birthday this September, so we have decided that pirates are next…
