FREEBIE - Menu Planner Printables

I was just playing around the other day, trying to get  dinners organised a little bit more, as at 5pm I'm always scratching my head wondering what to make. I decided to make 3 different versions for you all:). All have the following quote on the bottom: 

“The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table.”

To download any of them, just click on the image and you'll be re-directed to the download page.

This one I laminated, so I could use a dry erase marker to change it each week, and stuck it on the fridge:

This one I have the menu on the left and on the right my 'To remembers...', I put a excerpt of a quote at the top (to remind myself to look for the sunlight and not the storms more often:), dates to remember and my shopping list on post-its, which I can add to at any time, and just grab when it's time for the grocery shop (this fits 4x3 inch post-its easily)

Lastly, an 8x10 which you can put in a frame, and hang up in the kitchen or dining area. Again, just use a dry erase marker to change up each week:)

Hope you enjoy, and Bon Appetit!!

I Love You - Free 8x10 Printable

Here's a little freebie I whipped up for you all:) Click HERE for the free 8x10 download

I Love You 

by from a book by Maryann Cusimano Love

I am your parent, you are my child, 

I am your quiet place, you are my wild. 

I am your calm face, you are my giggle, 

I am your wait, you are my wiggle. 

I am your dinner, you are my chocolate cake, 

I am your bedtime, you are my wide awake. 

I am your lullably, you are my peek-a-boo, 

I am your goodnight kiss, you are my I love you.

Freebie Friday - Little Kid Ideas

 These are a couple of ideas I've done first, and then I'll some I want to do.

This is super easy. I just used one of our under the bed storage tubs, went to home depot and bought some play sand, and voila you have sand box. Our tub also came with a lid, which is great incase you suddenly get some rain or your sprinklers come on, as you can keep the sand dry, and protected from any neighborhood cats! Also, if you have  more than one child, it could be fun to have individual ones for the kiddies, with their own toys/set up in.

I had seen this idea done at weddings etc., but I decided to do one on my sons blessing day. When we came back to the house afterwards, our family and friends signed it, and I think it's a lovely keepsake of the day. My youngest was blessed a couple of weeks ago and we did it for her as well - and I scored big time as they had the mats at the Dollar store, 2 for $1! This would also be great for special birthdays, like 8, 12, 16, 18, missionary farewells etc.

So I saw this book sling in a magazine and decided to give it a whirl. Mine is slightly different as I put on pockets on the front, for my son's little treasures, added ties to the side and sewed it rather than using HeatnBond, but it was really easy (and I don't have a clue what I'm doing most of the time!) and it was cheap (under $15 for all the materials). It took under 2 hours. Click HERE for the full instructions.

.

I made these little tutu's when my eldest daughter was born. I'd seen them online for upwards of $20, but after some research found out that they were really, and I mean REALLY, easy to make. Each tutu ended up costing about $2 each. You can find the tutorial I followed by clicking HERE

Calm Down Jar

Calm Down Jar. It is really easy to make. The goal is that when they are feeling out of control, they shake the jar, then sit and watch the glitter settle in the water. When the glitter settles, they can get up. This one is a really great technique to use in lieu of timeout. Click HERE

If I Had My Child To Raise Again - Free 8x10 Printable

Free 8x10 Printable of this quote in 4 colors, just click the image you want below to download

 If I Had My Child To Raise Again

If I had my child to raise over again

I'd build self-esteem first 

and the house later

I'd finger paint more 

and point the finger less

I would do less correcting 

and more connecting

I'd take my eyes off my watch 

and watch with my eyes

I would care to know less 

and know to care more

I'd take more hikes 

and fly more kites

I'd stop playing serious 

and seriously play

I would run through more fields 

and gaze at more stars

I'd do more hugging 

and less tugging

I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often

I would be firm less often 

and affirm much more

I'd model less about the love of power

And more about the power of love.
