Origami Heart Love Notes (she: Amy)

ByAmy Lee

On this coming Valentine’s Day, I plan to fold some origami hearts with little love notes inside and leave them everywhere for my daughter to discover.

Since my little love is still learning her A-B-Cs, I’ll be drawing pictures in the origami as well as using words she recognizes. To make this super easy for you, I’ve created a printable of the origami paper for you to download. It includes 6 rectangles to make 6 hearts. All you need to do is cut, write and fold. I plan to hide these all over the house – peaking out from under her pillow, taped to her toothbrush, stuck under her cereal bowl, attached to the seat belt of her car seat, hiding in her jacket pocket, etc.

Setting Goals for the New Year! ~ Family Night Ideas (she: Tonii)

ByTonii

Hey again, it’s Tonii from Blue Skies Ahead. I am so thrilled to be back at Or so She Says…sharing another fun family night idea! I don’t know about you…but I LOVE the start of a new year. A clean slate, a chance to do anything you want and start fresh! I was really excited to do a simple activity with my kids to help them learn about goals and have fun making a visual that we could focus on ALL year long to remember what we want to accomplish in 2014.

First up I made this printable to hang in our home. I love this quote and have found it to be so true in my personal life. There is so much power in simply believing in ourselves!

25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas & ‘Your Great Idea’ Link Party

ByMariel

Every year for Christmas, we have my in-laws over for breakfast and present opening. It’s so fun to have grandparents join in on the fun and to share a yummy meal with us. It’s especially fun that we don’t have to leave our house. Yay! The kids get to play with their presents all morning. Mom and Dad get to recover from a long night. And, finally when evening comes, we head out to my family’s house for Christmas dinner. I love our set-up. Love it, love it, love it! Anyway, I get excited every year to plan a scrumptious, but not too time consuming, Christmas breakfast. In the past, I’ve done bread puddings, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon rolls. I haven’t decided what to do this year, but I’m starting to think about it. So, today I have 25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas for you… hopefully, it will help us both out!

Free Thanksgiving Table Activity Printables (she: Sharon)

Hi! I’m Sharon, and I’m a newbie here on Or So She Says. I run my own little blog, Lemon Squeezy, where I showcase some of my photography and designs, with occasional free printable downloads. In fact, here are a couple now! I designed this first printable to be used at the Thanksgiving Grown-up’s Table. The other is for the kid’s table. Set it next to the plate with some crayons and keep the kids entertained! I had my three-year-old color one tonight and he was very proud of himself as he practiced coloring within the shapes

Great Products for Teaching Kids About Thanksgiving

ByMariel

The past couple months, for homeschool, we’ve been learning all about the pilgrims, the indians in the New World, and the first Thanksgiving. We like to take history slow and really delve into each time period. This coming week we’re going to have a fun Thanksgiving lunch (for school) to celebrate and reinforce what we’ve learned. I LOVE homeschool. Really. I love getting to learn right along with my kids! Anyway, after reading a bunch of books and watching some videos, I’ve narrowed it down to a handful of favorites products for teaching kids about Thanksgiving.
