100th Day of School Shirt (100 Eye Monster)

Another very common request is shirts with 100 things on them. That’s what we got to do this year. Usually, for these 100th […]

Easy Dr. Seuss Character Costume

I love Dr. Seuss as much as any mom who loves books. I think we have 99% of his books and reading them to my kids are some of my favorite book-related memories. I even become a rapper when I read some of his books … I mean, who doesn’t read “hands hands fingers thumbs, […]

Managing Kid’s Busy Schedules {FREE PRINTABLE}

I was just trying to simplify things for myself, but ended up simplifying things for everyone. Sometimes that’s the side effect of getting organized – we help a lot more than ourselves. A few years ago, I was losing my mind trying to keep track of when my three elementary girls had their different school […]

Saving Little Johnny’s Artwork Forever {Organizing Memory Boxes}

Remember when you were growing up and your parents would sit you down to show you their schoolwork from when they were kids and you’d laugh and cry together and have the best time ever? Yeah, maybe not. Oh, and I think saving a big bin each year for each child of all their school […]

Why I JUST SAY NO to Red Ribbon Week Overwhelming Me

When the papers start coming home from school about all the Red Ribbon Week daily dress-up activities, I used to die a little inside with dread. I’d think, “How can I add one more thing when I already feel maxed out?!” A few years go, I let go of all that. After my 4th kid […]
