Super Summer 2016 FREE! Printable Calendar Reveal!

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to finally be finished with my summer calendars; it's liberating!    I feel like I am running a bit behind this year with these, because I like to have them posted a little further out from the end of school, but well, I was waiting on camp information and such.  And when you wait on someone else who likes to be late, inevitably you're going to be late.  Nevertheless, it's still here before school is out for us!  That being said, I'm happy to present to you our summer calendar! For the second year…

This year, I've made it my goal to plan a little bit more in advance for my posts, so that you have ideas in advance of holidays and seasons and so that I'm not running around like crazy trying to pull something together at the last minute.  Because as much as I hate to admit it, I was doing too much of that last year, and I don't really like it.  I really prefer to plan ahead.

{FREE!} Printable Snow Day Bucket List (2016)

Well, we just couldn't stay in the clear of snow this winter.  I guess since we had such nice weather so far this season we were bound to get a good one, and we sure are getting a doozy of a snowstorm.  And of course we just happen to be lucky enough to land in what is expected to be the 20+ inches of snow zone.  I say that with sarcasm, because I haven't liked snow since the blizzard of 1996 when we got about 3 feet of snow. Well regardless of my love (or lack thereof) of snow, I…
