Organize my life!!!

It is time.. Three kids and we are officially outnumbered.  I decided it was time to organize all areas of the house and my daily day.  I was finding that the more time I had, the less was getting done.. However, it is very easy to chill on the couch and snuggle with the newest member of the family.  I will not be heading back to work until next August so lately I have been tackling projects.  So far I overhauled the wash room, cleaning closet, pantry, and playroom.  There is still a ton to do.  With all of the projects I had for my hubs to complete I needed to organize.  I looked for a printable insert to put in my "family binder" but couldn't find one.  I wanted space for meal planning, exercise, to do, etc. The binder insert is available for download (free) in my teachers pay teachers store.  Thanks for visiting and happy organizing.....

It's Been a Long Time.....

Long time no post... A lot has happened recently.  I am currently off for the remainder of the year.  I had a baby in December and decided to take the rest of the school year to spend it with her.  I took Woogie (our middle child) out of daycare/preschool to stay home with me too.  She has Kindergarten screening next week so we have been practicing our letters and just acting like a normal kid.. She loves to do parking lots.. However, she usually uses one of her princesses to jump in the parking spaces for letter recognition.  Parking Lot Blog Post
Having Woogie home with me has forced me to "attempt" a schedule and routine.. Still working on that one.. I hope to have my day down at least by summer, when all three kids are home!  I noticed that Woogs is a hands on learner.  Much like my older child.  She especially enjoys art.  I decided to take her hands on approach and created a sight word activity paper.  She completes the paper (with help) after she practices it using sand and paint.. See the blog post on initial sight word introduction. Sight Word Blog Post  Her favorite part is stamping the words and drawing the pictures.  I currently have fry's list of words 1-25 completed.  However, I am working on completing the remaining words on the 100 list to post in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.  Here is a freebie if you want to try it out..
