Home Schooling food for my mind

I know, I know we are nuts are little girl is just about to turn 6 months and I'm already reading up on schooling. I guess I have an obsession with knowing ahead of time and being informed, plus there is so little we have control over in our lives that I like to have some when I can(control freak:) Just got a few books from the library today after story time to see what I could learn. My first impression before having a baby of my own was NO WAY, but now that's she's here and I've worked in the school system for more than five years. I know what the average day looks like, and I know it could be better and more fun plus a hundred other reasons, but here I go beginning a journey into these books for now;)

 Crafty Project Coming Your Way!!!

 So it's been forever.....right!!! I'm back and been loving all the crafty project time I've had since being home with our new baby :)   I've got so many crafty and delicious cooking coming your way, I'm so excited!  So this all started when i saw this awesome calender idea on pinterest.  I liked it and made it my own with what I had on hand.  Total cost $0 :)  Which is right up my alley since I'm staying home with baby now days!
So Step one:  Find a really ugly old picture frame, mine was just saved from a garage sale pile that I've been collecting for an upcoming sale :)

 Next play around with which direction you'd like it to go.  It really depends on
 your space.  Find all your crafty supplies and get to work.  First you need a
                                          really cool background.  I used tissue paper from a baby gift I had received, but you can use wrapping paper or wall paper or anything you like really.  Then secure it around the cardboard backing for the frame very tightly with tape.
Next customize with stickers, postcards, places to write notes for yourself, etc.
Make sure you have a easy to read space to write your calender!  Paint the frame, if you wish, I had to paint the pink was not gonna happen.  Then after it dries put the whole thing together.  The most awesome part is next.  You get to write with your favorite markers on the glass.  Write out your calender for the month and then next month take a damp cloth and wipe it clean and start over.
I was just about to go buy one of those white board calenders to put up in the kitchen to get us organized well I much prefer this and $0. Organization here I come!
