Summer Bucket List Printable

It is finally summer! Are you as excited as I am? There is so much I want to do this summer, so I made a bucket list. Included in the list: See a waterfall, play a giant board game, and try geocaching.  I put together this fun printable so you can write your own bucket list.

Nice and Naughty Letters from Santa!

Christmas is in the air! What is the best part of this season? Is it the decorations? The music? The food? For me it is the leverage that Santa gives me. (I swear I'm not the Grinch). It is just nice to be able to say, "Stop hitting your brother! Santa is watching!" or "You are one step away from the naughty list!".

As they have gotten older my children seem to need a concrete reminder that Santa is indeed watching. I have found a few Santa letters online, but none have really caught my eye, so I called Santa himself and he kindly sent me the forms he uses to inform children which list they are on. He even gave me permission to post them on my blog so all the parents out there can have access. He explained that in the end, it is the parents who sign off on the list.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Jolly Saint Nick for his help this year, and I would also like to remind him that I have been good and can always use more yarn and hot glue.

Happy Holidays!

Library Bags with Subway Art

Reading is a big hobby in our family. The kids have been read to since their first day home from the hospital and they each got library cards when they turned 2.  Going to the library is an event. The kids carry their own library cards, pay their own fines (when they have them), and pick their own books. Until now, I had been putting every one's books into one "family bag", but it is getting heavy with all those Fancy Nancy books.
I bought a 3 pack of tote bags from the craft section at Walmart with the intention of stenciling I Love 2 Read on the side. A few days later I made some subway art with the kids' favorite books and realized that it would be perfect for their library bags.
I printed the subway art on transfer paper and ironed them to the bags.
First, I tried scattering the book titles, but the other titles would cool before I had a chance to finish the whole thing. I used a different transfer paper than usual.

Big mistake. 

I managed to get it somewhat presentable when I kept the subway art as it was printed.

It isn't perfect, but the kids think they are great and can't wait to show them off at the library.

The bag is half his size!

Being a book worm builds muscles!

If you want to make your very own library bag OR subway art for your reading area I have included the links to download them.
