Displaying Snapshots

One of my goals for this year was to get some of our zillions of photos up on the walls where we can enjoy them. My girls, of course, love seeing photos of themselves at different ages. Scrolling through photos on the computer is just not the same! I wanted to be able to display lots […]

Math About Me Posters

Happy Friday! Where has the summer gone? We started back to (home)school this week. I think we were all ready for a little change in routine. If you have school-age kiddos, I hope the transition has been smooth for you, too! With just 6 weeks or so until baby brother arrives (eek!), we’ve been busy […]
