You may wonder why I put together 90 of these chocolate scriptures last week… I’m in the leadership of the children’s organization at my church called the Primary. Sunday was the day that the children put on their program for everyone. The theme of the year was “My soul delighteth in the scriptures.” So when…
Some of my most Pinned posts are the ones showing creative treats to take to school for hand out at birthdays. Like the juicebox robot, and my recent S’more printable. I’ve also had this #10 donut treat pinned numerous times. Lately, I’ve had several people request a printable topper that they can download and use…
In the tradition of my non-traditional classroom treats, I’m sharing the smores I will be taking to my son’s class in about an hour in honor of his birthday. Like many other schools around the nation, our school has a ban on homemade food for class parties. We could launch into a discussion about whether…
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to guest post at the amazing blog, Tatertots and Jello. I shared this simple idea for a gift for your children to give their new teachers. I thought I should share it again here, just in case you still have a 1st day of school coming up!…
This week marked the last of the first days of school for the year! My daughter started Preschool and I started teaching my music classes for the semester.

It’s back to school around here on Monday, so you will see several posts related to that in the next little bit. Today I’m talking about Back to School shopping, and the crazy way I turned inexpensive notebooks into customized works of art for my kiddos! Every year I’m a bit overwhelmed by the…
We took apples to the teachers today (we really did–more on that soon). Tomorrow means Dr.’s appointments and haircuts. We are trying to check everything off of our list for Monday when the kids head back to school. I have been worried about getting ready for school and forgot that many moms are anxiously awaiting…
Do your kids have dress-up days at school? Like Spirit Week or the like? Mine have had a series of them lately, and while they are fun, they have complicated the getting ready for school procedure. This is dress up like your favorite character from a book day: Can you tell what famous red-head she’s…
If you recall from my robot treat post, schools in our area don’t allow parents to bring in homemade goodies for kids on their birthdays. For most parents, this should be a relief or a free pass to go to the store and pick-up the bakery cupcakes without feeling an iota of guilt about not…
Our school carnival was this weekend and BSB and I got involved sharing our insanity unique talents. I worked with my friend, the PTA president on all of the advertising for the event. I think when it comes to school events, a lot of people think you have to keep things basic because of…
