We received these products for review. All opinions are our own. School started yesterday and with it, all of the fun stuff like packing school lunch, getting backpacks ready, etc. This year the kids are very excited to make their lunches in the mornings because of the fun new sandwich storage containers and water bottles we got from Zak Designs! There are so many different collections to choose from and they had fun picking their stuff out. I let each of my kiddos pick a new water bottle ...
School - Pre-School
Back to school with Peppa Pig
I can't believe it is already time for the kids to be back in school. It seems like summer just started. All of my kids are in school full time this year, my youngest one in first grade already! I know that she will be amazing and do great things. To get the year started off right, we were very excited when we got a special package in the mail from our friends Entertainment One Ltd..

$50 Sonic Drive-In gift card + $200 DonorsChoose gift card GIVEAWAY
We have partnered with Sonic Drive-In. All opinions are my own. I am excited to bring more awareness to SONIC’s Limeades for Learning campaign. Both of my parents were teachers for 30+ years.

LeapFrog Academy Review
We received a free subscription to LeapFrog Academy through our LeapFrog Ambassadorship. All opinions are my own. My kids love their screen time, and while I don't mind them having it, I try to make it educational when I can.

It is a new "interactive, educational world for 3-6 year olds that's a perfect balance of learning and fu ...
10 ways to keep kids learning through the summer
Scholastic sent me the Summer Express workbooks to check out, and is also providing a giveaway prize! All opinions are my own. Summer is almost here. I am so excited.

We have sat down and talked about what we want to do this summer and some fun things came up, but also some that surprised me like reading, math, and science. ...
Sight Word Letter Sticks DIY
My five-year-old is loving pre-school, so I wanted to make sight word letter sticks so she could work on her sight words, word building, and letter sounds. It has been a lot of fun to watch her build words and sound them out. Even my seven, nine and twelve year olds love building words with these and seeing what they can come up with. I have color coded them in groups of three and have her mix and match the colors to make even more words. To make these, you will need some paint chips (I got ...
