Upcycle kids clothing

Nothing sadder then having to give away your children's clothing because they have outgrown them. So why not upcycle them and keep them . Time goes by so fast...wish it would slow do just a little bit.

Stay warm!

DIY Frozen Party Ideas

Happy 2015!

Mother Nature has the decorations outside covered, including the freezing cold temperatures.

Couldn't be a better time of year to throw a Frozen party!

First Google free Frozen images and pick which image you would like to use. 

Save the picture to your computer

Than customise it by using a photo editing site like ribbet.com

Great Kids Birthday parties has a fantastic collection of Frozen clip art and the source of these images.

My girls are born 4 years , 5 days  and 2 seconds apart. 

Having one theme for all of them is a dream come true.

I made sure to have personalised cupcake toppers and signs for each one.

So they know that it's their special day we are celebrating.

Just happens that you are all celebrating it...Frozen style.

The cupcake stand is made from a piece of Styrofoam ,wrapped in tissue paper with a piece of crepe paper lining the edges. Topped of with some snowflakes or you could use fake snow .( I do not recommend this with children...based on personal experience....so not worth the mess)

I purchased the tablecloth and sign kit from Party City

The number five is Styrofoam wrapped in tissue.

Check out Capturing-Joy.com for these and more amazing props.

So much fun!

These are the favours all finished and awaiting the guests.

Some favour tags I made.

Good thing I already have a large collection of Christmas snowflakes.

In combination with tissue paper balls and curled ribbon.

They worked well to create this Frozen winter wonderland.

This Happy Birthday sign was easy to make.

I glued the letter onto a piece of ribbon.

The letters were found on Great Kids Birthday parties

So were these great water bottle wrappers.

I hope these tips help you throw your little ones a Super Frozen party.

Happy Winter!!

K5 Learning review

K5 Learning is an on line reading and math enrichment program where kids study independently and learn at their own pace, 

It is a wonderful  program that offers over 3,000 tutorials and activities to help enrich children's math, reading and spelling skills.

They offer an on line assessment of the 8 key math and reading skills,and then K5 Learning will choose the lessons based on that assessment. 

It is organising the study process so that you don’t have to. K5 will not only select and give the lessons to your children. but it keeps track of the lessons learned and even provides you with progress reports. 

Parents also have the choice to assign any K5 lesson at any time .

I found that my 8 year daughter had forgotten how to count money and choose lessons that focused on that.

What took almost 2 years in school was learned in a few lessons at K5 Learning.

She really enjoyed the custom avatar and lesson plans. They were easy to understand and follow. 

Best of all the knowledge stayed with her because he next time she went to the store, I did not need to count out the money for her.

That is the best kind of learning!

THANK YOU K5!
