October Freebie: Leaf Counting, Colors & Adding Game


The concept of numbers can be very abstract for children ... at least, I had always read this but teaching a preschooler to count and number recognition has proved it for me!  So, I like to design and I like to teach, which means I love designing teaching printables for my little one.  It's fall and I love incorporating the seasons (even when teaching preschool math), therefore I made a Leaf Counting, Colors & Adding Game.


I printed and laminated the game sheet last night, and this morning we scavenged the backyard for pebbles to use with the game.  I designed two sheets - one for PreK/Kinder and one for 1st/2nd.  It's essentially three games on one sheet and you can customize the games to suit your learner's level of number know-how.  You can do the Adding Game (shown in picture), Color Game or Adding Game, and the first sheet is 1-10 while the second sheet is 11-20.  It's really fun and great practice for young learners!  Snag a copy of each sheet below, then print, laminate and have fun!

July Freebie Download


My friend Emily, blogger of Running Like A Mother, and I have been putting our creative heads together to make a printable party packet for an upcoming baby shower she is hosting.  As I worked on it today, I started to feel overwhelmed with all the plans and ideas I have been dreaming up for it.  My brain started feeling like a balloon: the more I blew it up, the closer it got to either popping or instantaneously blowing-out from all the pressure.  I immediately thought, "Oh no!  I don't want to spend my day chasing this project around in circles and find myself at square one."  So, I started praying and asking the Lord to focus my mind and place before me the most important tasks.  As I prayed, I started remember all the verses that inspire me towards ingenuity, time management and wisdom.  Then I felt inspired to use the project artwork to create a Prayer Plaque to print and put up in my office as a constant reminder.  When I look at it, it makes me so happy!  Plus, it reminds me to keep on task and to seek the Lord for wisdom!  Friends: click, print, enjoy, and be inspired!

May Freebie: Mother's Day 2013 Print

Framed art is the perfect gift for Mother's Day.  I outlined my daughter's hand and pulled it into Adobe Illustrator to make this printout.  I added the poem "Mother" by George Wiseman (tweaking the verbiage a bit ... I think he was a Deist, but I'm not ;)  When I printed this, I scaled it to fit a 4x6 frame.  However, you can print it in the original size (an 8.5x11) or scale it to fit a 5x7.  Click here to pull up the image in your browser and right-click or pull it onto your desktop to save!  Happy Mother's Day!!!

Honest Friendship



Proverbs 27:5-6

Better is open rebuke 
  than hidden love.
~~~
Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
  but an enemy multiplies kisses.
