“C” is for Caterpillar- Fun Preschool Snack

9 / 19 / 159 / 21 / 15

grape caterpillars

Second started preschool this month and I am lucky enough to be able to send him to a dear friend a few hours a week.  I am so grateful that she is teaching my little one this year- she’s amazing!  Anywho, “c” week was our week for snacks.  I saw a photo floating around the internet of grape caterpillars and thought that was genius!  There was no blog post or anything that I could find to accompany it, however, so I thought I’d share how we put together & used our grape caterpillars.

Materials needed: mini chocolate chips, icing, skewers (remember when I said I order them in bulk?… Read the rest

Rescue Bots Cupcake Toppers

rescue bots cupcake toppers

Are your kids as obsessed with Rescue Bots as mine are?  Boy howdy I think I was actually more excited than they were when the third season was put on Netflix- finally something new to hear in the background!!  Second is turning 4 this week and I kept asking him what he wanted for his birthday, and every time I got the same response: cupcakes.  Well, that sounded just perfect to me.  The key to success is low expectations, right??  Since his request was so simple I decided we should jazz up the cupcakes a bit.  And since cake decorating isn’t my thing, I opted for these rescue bots cupcake toppers.  … Read the rest

School Routine Cards

We thrive on structure around here.  With three little munchkins running around and a bunch of different schedules to keep, structure is what I CLING to for survival.  I hope there are some others out there like me?? Or am I the lone OCD Mom? When Oldest started TK last year (transitional kindergarten…its a California thing) it was QUITE the “transition” (pun-intended) for our little family.  Because I send him to a school out of our district, he can’t take the bus.  Which can make for some complicated maneuvering of nap times for Youngest!  And I still remember the first day he was gone at school Second was wandering around the house looking for him (under beds, in closets, in the garage) ALL day.… Read the rest

Primary Newsletter Template

8 / 29 / 1512 / 18 / 16

Every Sunday feels like I am putting on a massive event just getting through Primary… am I alone in that?  For me, keeping parents informed with a nice newsletter serves multiple purposes.  I feel like if you hand them this nice looking, well thought out newsletter each month not only are they informed, but they know you care, you work hard, and hopefully they will feel more inclined to be involved! Today I am sharing a primary newsletter template that you can adjust for your ward along with some pointers and tips I have learned along the way!  Hope it helps you in your calling 🙂

Here is an example of what our finished newsletter looks like:

primary newsletter example

I think some important elements to a newsletter are:

  1. The name of your ward
  2. The month the newsletter is for
  3. A list of upcoming events for both parents & teachers to mark on their calendars including
    1. upcoming ward events
    2. schedule changes (stake conference, general conference, 5th sunday, primary program etc)
    3. cub scouts & activity days
  4. The months theme, scripture & song
  5. Assignments for the month including opening prayer, scripture, talks & closing prayers
  6. Birthdays for that month
  7. Contact information of the primary presidency in case parents or teachers need to get ahold of you
  8. Article of Faith or spotlight or whatever other important things you want to include
  9. A nice seasonal image or picture (notice the apple for september=back to school).

Police Party Food & Drink Labels

8 / 29 / 158 / 28 / 15

cops and robbers food and drink labels

I am finally getting around to sharing the food & drink labels I made for Oldest’s Cops & Robbers birthday party.  They would be a great addition to any police or law-enforcement themed party.  For the “mug shots” labels I wrapped them around glass bottles (recycled from that sparkling juice at Costco- yum yum) and filled them with mug root beer of course.  Add a black & white striped paper straw and you are good to go.  police party drink labels

On the menu at our police party was:

  • Hamburglers (hamburgers)
  • Tossed in Jail Fruit Salad (exciting name for a regular fruit salad)
  • Cop corn (kettle corn from costco- yum yum…notice a costco theme?
