It’s getting close… Read Across America/ Dr. Seuss’ birthday is just right around the corner (March 2nd)! We’ve been getting ready by pinning lots of preschool activities and doing plenty of our own Seuss inspired crafts (this Cat in the Hat marble painting is my favorite!) Today we used wine corks to create a simple and…
“I will not eat them on a train, I will not eat them in the rain!” Have you read Green Eggs and Ham to your kids yet? If not, March 2nd is a great day to do it since it is Dr. Seuss’ birthday/ Read Across America Day! If you’re a homeschool mom, grab your…
Read Across America Day is March 2nd! As a former teacher, Read Across America Day (a.k.a Dr. Seuss’ birthday) has a special place in my heart.

One Fish, Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish! The first book I thought of when I first saw these little pasta fish shapes was Dr. Seuss’ classic One Fish, Two Fish story. Since Read Across America day is only a month away, I thought I’d share this little activity for anyone looking to add some…
This post contains affiliate links Do you have a dedicated homeschool room? Up until a few months ago, we didn’t have a dedicated homeschool room. We simply made do with a small space near the dining room table. Despite being small, that space was mighty! It was just a matter of arranging (and re-arranging) it…
Do you live in a snowy climate? We just moved to a state that is basically a frozen tundra. I wouldn’t be surprised if those around here who rely on oil for heating try to find some with extra proprietary additives so that they can make sure it will keep flowing into their burner and…
