This is one of our very favorite little DIY printables, and we thought it appropriate to visit it again… just in time for the holidays. Enjoy! __________ We love the idea of advent calendars, but with limited wall space, we’re never quite sure where to put them. This year, we have one flanking our refrigerator, and it’s…
halloweenies: free halloween printables
We visited a church on Sunday, and when we came home, I asked the kids what they learned in class. “We learned about being helpers, and how we can help people more” Emerson replied, and proudly held out a picture.

a handmade sign spruce up
