Back to School Already?

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

I can't believe summer is almost over, can you?

Here in Minnesota most schools haven't started yet but I hear some local districts are starting next week already, which seems so early. Our kids' online school doesn't start until after Labor Day, which is nice.

I realize though that much of the schools around the country have already started! If that's you, I hope it's going well so far.

I'm a little nervous for the first week or so back. Sure, they're enrolled in the same district as last year and with them being home a lot of the back to school jitters aren't a big deal but it's still a huge adjustment for us all.

With that in mind, I'd like to share some printables with you that may help in this back to school season.

As you may know, I have my printables listed in my own shop, on Etsy, and on Teachers Pay Teachers. I don't have to pay extra fees when people buy from my own shop but people tend to be more comfortable with the others, which I get. It's nice if you already have your payment information in Etsy to buy there instead of somewhere new. So I'll include Etsy links below.

My First Children's Book! Woodland Fall Friends for Ages 3-6

. Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well so far! This week I finally did something that I've been wanting to do for decades, I wrote a children's book! It's full of cute fall graphics, rhyming words, and is perfect for ages 3-6. Though I have to admit, I read it to my kids last night (7yo twins and 9yo) and they loved it too! It's an eBook that you can purchase on Etsy or Teachers Pay Teachers. You can use it digitally or print it out. Now that I've written and published one eBook I'm...

Prime Big Deal Days Deals...In Case You're Shopping...

. Hi Reader, I hope you had a great week and that you were able to get some decluttering done! I know we need to do a lot more, that's for sure. It's been oddly hot here in MN, it reached 90 the other day...that is not typical for October in Minnesota. Typically it's in the 60s or cooler by now. It's been weird, but I also know that soon enough it'll be super cold and I'll be longing for these hot days. :) As you probably know by all the ads and whatnot, today is the start of Amazon Prime Big...

How to Declutter Kids Toys without Fights

. Hi Reader, We've all heard of Spring cleaning but what about Fall decluttering? I'm honestly not sure if it's a 'thing' but it's something we tend to do. Here in MN, along with many other places, the Fall is the start of spending more time inside and though it's not cold here yet, we started thinking ahead that getting rid of some of the toys the kids don't play with anymore would be a good idea. With this in mind, we worked on the toys in our living room last Saturday. We got all three...
