Back to School Teacher Printable
I love teachers! In another life I wanted to be a teacher, but then I had kids and I realized how hard a job it really is to teach! I admire my girls’ teachers and all that they manage to do. They are special people. Even at the beginning of a new school year I love them already even though I haven’t even had time to get to know them. People that choose to teach deserve all the love, appreciation and yummy treats and goodies we can come up with! So, to start the school year off right here is a back to school teacher printable.

End of Summer Party
Oh Summer, how we will miss thee. I seriously have a love hate relationship with Summertime. I absolutely adore having my kids home and sleeping in, and swimming all day and going to fun places and staying up late. But sometimes, let’s be honest here, I miss them being gone at school all day. But then school starts and I am hating the rigid daily schedule….man, there is so much good and bad about everything right!?! But since Summer is ending and we will miss it, and since school is starting on Monday for which we are excited, we definitely needed a celebration. The beginning of a new school year is always something to look forward to, but the end of summer definitely deserves a proper goodbye. Continue reading

Sisters
Cue the music "sisters, sisters, there was never such amazing sisters." can you hear the song from the movie White Christmas? I adore that movie, I love that song, and I adore and love my sister.
My little sister Tiffany (who is younger but taller than I =) came to visit me last week. She called out of the blue last Friday and told me she was flying in Monday from Utah, SURPRISE, and she stayed for 4 days. Her whole purpose in coming was just to take care of me. What? That is exactly what I said.

Summer Reading Loss
I don’t know about you other momma’s out there, but I always worry a bit about summer and my kids forgetting things they learned during the school year. Their teachers (and me!) worked so hard all school year to teach them new things, and we did lots of homework to try and glue the learning into their brains and then the long days of summer come along and you just pray they don’t forget it all!
I was reading online and was shocked by the following quote!
“The few months (summer months) of loss in reading skills compounds over the years; by the time children reach middle school, those who haven’t read during the summers may have lost as much as two years worth of achievement.
Agh! That is scary! It is so important to keep our kids reading and thinking all summer long, here is what we are doing at our house to prevent the summer reading slide!!
