We Love Our School

This is our first Kindergarten experience and so far we love our school. Teachers are great, facilities are safe, drop-off and pick-up is not bad at all (we expected worse). Plus, the school does lots of fun stuff that makes kids (at least our Kindergartner) look forward to going to school even more:

Queen for a Day - Kindergarten Fun


Our school does that fun thing where Kindergartners are “Queen for a Day” or “King for a Day”. They get to wear a crown and the entire class draws the queen or king. The teacher binds the drawings into a book and the queen or king can take the book home with her/him.

The book is adorable and we got a good laugh out of it. Plus, there are quite some little Picassos in her class, check it out.

DIY Fairy Garden

Inspired by Mother Nature and the Woodland Faerie Trail at Zilker Botanical Garden, my daughters (5 and 3) and I created this cute little Fairy Garden in our back yard. The material we used is 80% “au natural” and includes items we found in our yard, our neighborhood, our craft box, and at my favorite new craft store, the Austin Creative Reuse Center.

How to Throw a Stress-Free Birthday Party

It's her birthday again? Feels like it was just yesterday that we all ran around in Ninja Turtle costumes battling petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from the party-poopers who didn't want to play with us. What are we going to do this year? Geez, and who's going to plan the whole thing?
