    Fun Halloween Word Scramble Printable Activity Sheet

    September 27, 2015 - By 

    An easy Halloween word scramble is a fun little gift this time of year. Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Recently I received a great box of Hallmark Halloween toys and gifts and it’s put me in the mood early this year. So I thought I would share the Halloween spirit a bit with you all. In fact, Halloween is not just for kids you know. On my street typically many homes go all out with Halloween decorating and setting up haunted houses too. This Halloween word scramble is for you to share with your kids as…

    School Bus Coloring Page For Back To School #BTS

    September 7, 2015 - By 

    There’s one short day left here before we are back to school. That saddens me a bit. I like the summer months and the great weather that comes with July and August. I guess it will be good to have some order established again. But really day camps did that here and, for the most part, day camps kept the kids really engaged and interested. Anyways, whether you love or loathe back to school time, don’t forget to maintain an upbeat and calm attitude for the kids. That helps a lot. When it comes to transitions, some kids need a…

    Back to School Maze Printable #BTS

    August 27, 2015 - By 

    Back to school means back to the bus stop for a lot of people. Are your kids bused or do they walk? We’ve had great luck with school bus drivers so far at this new school. So that’s one thing I don’t mind, or fret over. Our driver was such a lovely man this past year that he called our house a couple of times to make sure my kids had arrived home safely. He was a real keeper. I can only hope we get the same great luck here this coming school year. I’ve been sharing some simple printables for…

    Back to School Coloring Page Printable

    August 15, 2015 - By 

    It’s almost back to school time so start getting ready. Maybe you already are getting ready. There are a few small things I used to do to help get my little ones ready for back to school season. There’s back to school clothes shopping of course and then there’s back to school preparation such as driving by school to help my littles remember where they are going. They used to need a lot of help transitioning to school. My one daughter had pretty severe separation anxiety and it took her years to get accustomed to the back to school routine.…

    Father’s Day Word Search Printable

    May 27, 2015 - By 

    When you think of Dad what sort of words come to mind? I think of joking and pranks and barbecues and sports and travel and patience and love. There are a lot of different things good dads give their children. But most important of all these things I think is love and respect and security. A good Dad makes his kids feel safe and happy and loved. My children have a good Dad and on Father’s Day that’s worth celebrating. What are you doing to celebrate Father’s Day? I actually am not too sure here yet. I often do a…

    Bird Colouring Pages Printable

    May 14, 2015 - By 

    Do you have an aspiring bird watcher in your house? In our old house we had a row of cedars and the cedars often attracted blue jays. Many years we had babies hanging about in the cedars. I think I was the one who enjoyed that the most. My front lawn also held a cedar hedge that was home to baby robins every single year. It used to make my kids very happy to step out the front door and peek at them. Sadly a few years the baby robins had some trouble learning to fly and we ended up…
