Back to School Paper Sack Treat Bags
I feel like the last week has been a whirl wind, anyone else? Last Saturday it was my oldest child's birthday. He is 15 and headed into his sophomore year at school. The only thing I can think about with that is that I'm not old enough to have a kid that old! I still feel like I'm in my 20's most days, unless I do something to make my body sore, then I'm like 90. ;) Anyway, this week I helped my ... read more

Back to School Teacher Gift with Stampin’ Up!
Every year, when it's time to go Back to School, I always end up trying to figure out what to do for a Back to School Teacher Gift. I've done several things over the years, but I always like to come up with new things. Part of that is because I enjoy coming up with new things, and the other part is that some of my kids have had the same teachers as their siblings, so it wouldn't work to well to ... read more
Back To School Questionnaire Printable
Five years ago when my oldest son was starting first grade, I wanted to have something to scrapbook that was of his handwriting. I had in my mind the questions I wanted him to answer.

I helped him, but he wrote the whole thing. By the ... read more

Decorating for Back to School
How do you decorate during August and September?

Getting Organized for Back to School
I have a confession. I have THE HARDEST TIME keeping up with homework during the school year. My kids don't get home from school until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and if there is homework, chores, errands, etc. to be done, it's almost impossible to fit it all in before bed time. And a lot of times, sadly, it's homework that falls through the cracks. I'm bad I know! This year, I have a ... read more

PreSchool 2009
The other day I was going through some pictures, and found a bunch of 8 x 10's. Do you scrap this size of photo? I like to. On one hand they are easy to scrapbook, because it's only one photo, but on the other they can be hard, because they are so big. :) Sometimes I trim them down. I've been working on a stack of them, so you might be seeing a lot of layouts with 8 x 10's in the upcoming ... read more

Adding Infusible Ink to Kids Masks
When I knew that my boys would be going back to school in person, I knew I needed to get them more masks. I did make a few at the beginning of quarantine, but it was not something I enjoyed making, so I knew I didn't want to make a bunch more of them. Every time I went out, I would look for masks. I was at Costco one day and found these cute masks, perfect for my two younger kids. When I looked at ... read more
