Teacher Treat--Free Printable

It's that time again--time to start another school year! Although my kiddos are homeschooled, we attend Classical Conversations once a week.  Wednesday will be our first day and we are SUPER excited! Typically, I make something for the girls to give their tutors and/or caregivers, but this year I am AG's tutor so that makes things a little different.  Easy fix:  I'm taking a little treat to my fellow tutors (one being Edy's), and Joy's babysitter.

When I was a public school teacher, I loved a little treat now and then.  Those Snicker bars and Dr. Peppers really came in handy on that first week of school!!! 

There are tons...and tons...and tons of teacher gift ideas floating around Pinterest.  Here's another one to add to the mix...

Birthday Celebration

I'd say that Miss Ava Grace had a fabulous birthday celebration.  Here's the scoop:

We went on a little vacay/retreat for a couple of days...

(from left to right) 1: KK and I chillin' in front of the faux fireplace 2: AG requested grilled cheese and pretzels for her bday dinner (not what I would have picked, but it was her day!) 3, 4, 5: Pedicures with KK 6: New watch from Tat and Gaga; lots of Ever After High stuff from Na, Pops, and KK; new clothes and gift cards from Aunt Dorothy; books and money from Aunt Ann; earbuds from Aunt Kelsey/Uncle Josh; stamp pad set from Uncle Corey; and a diary WITH A LOCK! from Mamaw. 7: $25 dollars from Gran and she picked a Puppy Surprise   8: A huge hot tub in our cabin and the girls loved it 9: JoJo chillin' at the indoor waterpark

AG picked out her cake design: Wait for it...FROZEN!

On our final day, we hung out at the pool and grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner.  It was a nice, relaxing day of fun in the sun! It goes without saying that AG's bday was a success and every bit as good as Christmas morning!

WYWW Tomorrow!

First Day of School

School has officially started at our house!  We kicked off bright and early but made sure to get a "first day of school" pic:

We keep a fixed routine during our homeschool year.  The girls eat breakfast, make beds, get dressed/brush teeth, and we start school at 9am.

We will meet for Classical Conversations on Wednesday which is going to be a big change for us--previously on Monday.

I am humbled and thrilled to be discipling my girls! This is my best teaching job ever!
