Say whaaaaaat??? I actually managed to squeeze in two blog posts in a row this weekend. It must be all of the caffeine and back to school adrenaline surging through my veins. Sure, the hubs has been out and about and I got an extra day this round, but who’s counting. I’ll take it as a win in the bloggy department ๐
With Grandparents Day right around the corner (September 8th to be exact), I wanted to get my own ducks in a row. This quickly led to the birth of my latest packet . . . Thank Goodness for Grandparents. My goal was to create a series of easy and very low-prep activities that we could grab, copy, and use. Things are crazy this time of year and our babes’ attention spans don’t have the stamina to survive a long-winded project (at least in my world right now). With this said, I needed a handful of themed things that wouldn’t make me want to pull my hair out ๐ Here’s what I came up with . . .
Before I jet today, I am gonna switch gears on you quickly. Cheryl and I are still looking to plug a few holes in the Postcard Exchange. Is your state still available??
If you are a teacher from one of these states, we’d love to have you join in the postcard fun. OR . . . if you know any teachers from these states . . . PLEASE send them our way! To read more about the postcard exchange, CLICK HERE. If you signed up, we have to have all of the states full before we notify everyone – it’s just easier on our end this way. Expect a confirmation email next Saturday or Sunday (9/7 or 9/8). Sorry for the delay my friends.
Alright, I am out of here. Gotta get to gettin’ on a shower and planning for my week. Here’s a a great short one my friends. We can do this ๐
If you have a grandparent in your life . . . don’t forget to give them a big old hug or phone call this week. What I wouldn’t give for just one more moment. |

Sooooo sweet!!! My grandmother used to help my mom in her classroom from time to time. Both ladies loved it and so did the students. Thanks for taking the time to write. This made my heart happy ๐

I have one grandfather left. He turned 93 this year. My kids adore their grandma ๐
We moved from KY to NC so our kids could be near my husbands parents. I will never regret that decision.
