MY EXPERIENCE

I've created plenty of photo books in my day. The days of scrapbooking are over, at least for me! I know some people enjoy the hands on element of physical scrapbooking, but not me, I like the digital stuff! Actually, in the same manner that physical scrapbooking may be relaxing for some people, getting online and creating a Collage or images and pictures is relaxing for me.

Needless to say, I was excited when I saw that I could now create a Collage as unique as wrapping paper! How fun is that? I immediately got online and tried to figure out which angle I was going to take with this. Did I want to create something my kids would enjoy and use it to wrap their gifts? Did I want to make a Collage of the grandkids for the grandparents to enjoy? Or did I want to showcase our family's memories throughout the year and just use it to wrap my immediate family's gifts?

I chose to go use it for the grandparents! What grandparent wouldn't be surprised to see their grandkids faces smiling back at them under the tree?

The way it works is, you make a Collage and it repeats itself over and over again. You can use a few large images, several medium sized images or many, many smaller images. I varied the sizes of the images and made four different rows. The first row had all the kids and then each row following showcased a different child!

After submitting the final work online, I received it shortly afterward in a a thick tube. It was packaged very well and didn't bend or cause any problems with the wrapping paper!

The paper is of a quality thickness, I'm not worried about it tearing or ripping like cheap wrapping paper you can buy at your local dollar store. And, most importantly, the images turned out great!

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! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. 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. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

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...
