European Vacation

So it's been over a month since school started and I came back from Europe.
The trip was great, it was nice to see so many family members. The trip was also really hard. It was the first time I saw my father's grave. It was hard to be away from my mom and husband for so long.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

Dog Days of Summer SALE

I honestly can't believe that it's already the end of August. Life has been CRAZY since we came back from Europe. We came home Saturday at 5 am after 4 flight delays and 5 gate changes, by the time we got on our last plane we had been awake for 30 hours!!! Did I mention that school started that Monday? More on that in a later post with LOTS of pictures!

I hope that you are all getting into the groove of school, its taking some getting used to over here!! I have teamed up with some AWESOME Indiana bloggers for a Dog Days of Summer Dollar SALE!! Check out all of the goodies below and stay tuned for some vacation picture, SLANT box reveal and the first 3 weeks of school!!

Cooking Up a Great Year

 

I am so excited to be a part of this AMAZING blog hop! The giveaway is awesome! I kinda don't want to share it with you guys because I want to win it myself!!

I love cooking with my kindergarteners it helps with many academic skills and allows us to have some fun.

 

On Fridays we make a little snack, eat it then write, and draw about it. We call it Foodie Friday, I was inspired by Kindergarten Smorgasbord. Our snacks are based on what we are learning about that week. Here are some of the snacks that we made last year.

 

I get lots of ideas from Pinterest and tweak them to work in a classroom setting. Check out my Fun Kid Foods Board on Pinterest.

 

 

 

 

If you would like to start Foodie Friday in your classroom here is a great FREEBIE to get you started Cooking Our Way Through Kindergarten can be done whole group or as a literacy center after you make the snacks.

 

 

To celebrate this awesome blog hop I have put my other "foodie" products on sale for just ONE dollar each!

 

 

 

 

 

We all know that cooking during the school year can be tough, there is NEVER enough time. One of my favorite websites for quick delicious recipes is Mrs. Happy Homemaker. Now I know that name, just trust me though. She always has the most delicious recipes and I don't have to go out and buy ingredients that I will only use once. Here are some of the recipes that I have tried from her and LOVED!! Just click on the picture to go to the recipe.
