Meet Annie and Misty—our two new sweet pups. Since they are a Great Pyrenees mix they are going to grow to be quite large dogs. I couldn't think of a better way to preserve the memory of their puppyhood than with canvas prints! I made sure to snap an adorable shot while they were only around ten weeks old.

Currently hanging up in my daughter's room, this sweet picture will help us remember when they were little, since they won't be little long. Of course the same goes with kids but I thought this would be an excellent addition to our home.

Printique provides excellent service with quick turnaround. I ordered this immediately before the Passover and they sent it out right away but let me know as a customer that they would be taking the week of Passover off. I just thought I would point that out in case you are trying to order one before a Jewish holiday, you might want to make sure you give yourself plenty of time. Similar to Easter and Thanksgiving, the dates of Passover and Hanukkah change from year to year so be sure to check your calendar if you need your canvas by a certain date.

The ordering process was a piece of cake. I took the picture with my phone and was able to order from Printique directly from my phone as well. I simply uploaded the photo and it gave me the option to crop. Now, what happened next is user error and I am only sharing this in case it could help someone else who might make the same mistake! When I cropped the photo I saw what I wanted on the screen. Then, when I went to check out I saw an ultra-cropped photo that chopped off the head of one of the dogs. I assumed that the image I saw on the page where I cropped it was what would print out but I was wrong. And that is completely my fault, not the company's error. They made it very clear at checkout what the image would look like on the canvas and I overlooked that step. Just take note of that when you order yours, what you see on the final screen is what you get! Regardless, I am pleased with what I got because the quality of the canvas is top-notch. The binding is flawless and the print is professional.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history!

From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony.

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
