I haven’t been reading as much this month because my kids have had me at the beach, splash pad, or playground almost every day. At their ages, I cannot take my eyes off them for a second so reading during these outings is not happening. But I am not complaining! Summer is amazing and I know soon enough I will be longing for beach days again. Check out the books I did manage to squeeze in this month below for my thoughts and recommendations.
We recently made the decision to homeschool our preschooler for the time being. The main reason my husband and I made this choice is because our school district has deemed it unsafe for students to have school in-person until COVID numbers go down. Also, we have a new baby on the way and want to take the extra precaution. Once we made the decision to homeschool we needed an area of the house as an organized preschool space. I thought I would share how we set up our affordable homeschool preschool space in case it would help give ideas to anyone else.
In our house, we are about to embark on our homeschool preschool journey. I’m still hoping that this situation will only be for a few months and that she can attend preschool in-person soon but who knows with this crazy year? While preparing for the first months of preschool I’ve started gathering ideas for autumn crafts. Apples, pumpkins, turkeys, and more are featured in these fun fall crafts for preschoolers.
It’s that time of year! Time to take stock of your fall and winter clothing to determine the gaps in your wardrobe. Maybe you have plenty of warm pajamas but not enough socks? Maybe you are now working from home and are in need of a lot more loungewear and fewer formal work outfits. This guide and clothing inventory checklist will help you go through your fall and winter clothes to see what your needs will be for the upcoming season. By doing a seasonal clothing inventory now you can take advantage of upcoming sales!
This week I celebrated my birthday and chose to make my own cake. Why, you ask? Because I knew exactly the kind of cake I wanted and I can be a control freak. I always love lemon desserts but rarely make them because it’s not my husband’s favorite flavor. But since it was MY birthday, I made a lemon poppy seed layer cake with lemon curd filling topped with lemon buttercream frosting. What can I say? This pregnant mama wanted lemon!
