I had to laugh when I was typing that title, I haven’t had a spring break since I was in college.  But this year I’m giving myself one! I’m going to focus on some much needed self-care, I’m talking yoga, facial masks, and lots of extra sleep.  Things will be a little quiet around here this week, but I’ll be back next week and I have a ton of great things planned!

I love love love quotes – here are a few that really speak to this week’s posts. Hopefully they will bring you a little inspiration! Source Source Source Source

I have to say a huge thank you to Vanessa from Pre-K Pages for organizing the meet-up, Holly and Rachel from Kids Activities Blog for sponsoring the meet-up, and my awesome friend Jamie from Play to Learn Preschool for including me! I also got to meet:  Debbie from…

I am super excited about celebrating Easter this year. Not only did I have a day off yesterday (a beautiful and very rare occurance), but it is warm and sunny here and after the winter that we’ve had, this is a miracle worth celebrating! Because I’m so happy about spring, I’ve got two awesome opportunities for you: a giveaway and a sale! I’m participating in a giveaway over at Here’s an Idea by Lucy (it is amazing to me that she is celebrating 5,000 Pinterest followers, 5,000!).
