Family, Fun & Freebies
I got a new toy yesterday, a Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine, and I have absolutely no idea how to make it do all the things my mind can imagine! I have been dying to decorate the walls in our house with some vinyl lettering. I think it’s cool, but man is it expensive. So… [Continue Reading]
The boys and I decided to stop at Barnes & Noble this morning to see what we could find. As soon as we walked in, we found Mickey Mouse and Dora books with 12 little figures attached to them. The boys had to have them. Then we headed to the children’s section to read some… [Continue Reading]
Language Experience Stories are a teaching strategy that I have used across all of my careers…teacher of the Deaf/HH, Primary teacher, teacher coach and mom to preschoolers. They allow a group to collectively create a story, involve listening, speaking, writing and reading skills all at the same time and develop language, grammar and vocabulary. But… [Continue Reading]
I’ve had a sneaking suspicion since I started this blog that people don’t really understand what I’m trying to do with it.

This past weekend I did an event in Waco, about an hour and 15 minutes north of here. I drove back and forth Friday, Saturday and Sunday…it was a very long weekend, but I thought the event would be worth it to move into a different market. The weekend started with me trekking up there… [Continue Reading]
It’s time again for the Monday Mingle Business Edition brought to you by The Party Plan Coach. The question this week is: What was your most memorable party? Since I have only been in the party plan business with SimplyFun for about 6 months…and have done mostly events…I would have to say that it would… [Continue Reading]
Fine motor skills are important to develop as young children grow. For example these skills help kids tie their shoes, learn to write and manipulate small objects.
