Tis the season for family traditions! This time of year is BUUUUUSY for most of us, with our schedules filling up months before the holidays. In the midst of the chaos, let’s make sure we commit to creating moments that matter…traditions to carry on over the years. There are so many fun activities to do with your friends and family over the next couple of months, BUT, if you don’t plan ahead (even with the best of intentions)….trust me, they {Read More}
Teal Pumpkin Project: Allergy Awareness
October 20, 2018 by
It is estimated that approximately 6 million children, under the age of 18, have a food allergy. This is 1 in 13 children, or roughly two in every classroom! Halloween is such an exciting time of year for kids, especially when it comes to trick or treating. But, if you’re the parent of a child with food allergies, just like my neighbor and close friend, it’s not always a simple stroll around the neighborhood with your family. Anxiety and worry {Read More}

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE getting geared up for the holidays….and Halloween is no exception! I remember as a kid getting so excited about all of the festive decorations that were in the halls of my school, classrooms, and all around my house . Spiderwebs donning doors, pumpkins on the front porch, spooky skeletons sitting on shelves….let’s face it, I’ll always be a kid at heart. Not sure about you, but stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and {Read More}

So much love and sacrifice is poured out within the walls of a classroom each day, ensuring every child feels special, valued, and known! Knowing this, I do my best to make sure the people who {Read More}
Transportation Themed Birthday Party
March 12, 2018 by
Trains, Trucks, Tractors….galore! Beep, Beep, Choo, Choo….so much more! Both of my boys LOVE all things transportation. From diggers to ambulances to airplanes, they are fascinated with all kinds of vehicles! SO, I decided to mix them together for my oldest’s 3rd birthday party (he will be turning 5 in a few months….yikes!). Nothing beats that excited look on your child’s face when they see all the details come together. I only hope I have enough energy to {Read More}
Incentive Charts for Kids
September 5, 2017 by
This is something I’ve had the intention of doing for quite some time, but always seemed to put off, because….well, summer got the best of us! With a 4 year old who is starting to test boundaries and sharpen his negotiating skills (especially at bedtime), it was starting to become more and more necessary to start an incentive system with him, as a way of motivating him to be more consistent with positive behaviors and become more responsible! I didn’t {Read More}
