I’m a big scrapbooker and love to capture a little of of my kids on their last day of school. Of course this doesn’t have to be done exactly on the last day of school, any time during the first week of summer is a great time for them to sit down and fill this out (and great summer writing practice too!).

Camping Theme Teacher Appreciation Week
This post contains affiliate links that help to support my site. See my full disclosure for details.
This year, thanks to COVID we decided to go with the theme, “It’s been a WILD year.” And from there we used hiking, camping and adventure as our inspiration to spoil our teachers (all on a small budget) for Teacher Appreciation Week.

DIY Ice Cream Party

Crystal is a California local Creamery where milk is delivered fresh daily from local, family-run farms. Their ice cream now has:
- No high fructose corn syrup (likely the second ingredient in a store brand ice cream, take a peek next time you’re grocery shopping!)

DIY Ocean Party
This post contains affiliate links, see my disclosure for details.
I had such a blast planning this Ocean party for my 5-turning-6 year old. At first he said he wanted a megaladon themed party. Then it was a dolphin party. Then it was a shark party. Finally I suggested we do the whole ocean and he thought that was the greatest idea since sliced bread. I’m here to share all the details from decorations and games to printables and shopping links. I got ya covered!
