Handling Halloween

I have never been a fan of Halloween. However, that does not mean I have never participated in the day. When the kids were very little, I would arrange a neighborhood party.

Monday’s are for ABC’s and 123’s

Each Monday at the daycare, we would start the week learning one letter, one number, one color, and one shape for the week. Honestly, that made my lesson planning easy. All my activities centered on the designated week’s symbols and colors. I had a letterbox and each Monday I would pull a letter out and we would sing the letter song. On “A” [...]

Enjoying the Journey Journals

I grew up in the northeast and the landscape is so beautiful there in September as the trees change their colors. I think it was one of my favorite times of the year. I especially loved to walk in the crisp air and hear the crunch of the leaves on the ground. Somehow those fall colors spoke to me. Even though they were [...]

Budget Birthday Ideas

Recently on our hometown Facebook page, a resident was asking for ideas for a fire truck birthday cake. Wow, memories came flooding in on all the homemade specialty cakes I made over 40 years ago.
