• Plastic Egg Ideas for Preschool

    Preschool Easter Egg Games

    When it comes to Easter activities for the classroom, you absolutely cannot go wrong with anything using plastic easter eggs. Preschoolers LOVE these things, so any money spent on them is always well worth it!

  • Chill Spring Break Ideas

    Low-key Spring Break Plans

    I’ve never been one to make major spring break plans – I don’t love to travel at peak times – so I tend to lean more towards staycations or really leaning into relaxation. Here are my favorite ways to spend a very low-key, chill spring break. I firmly believe these kinds of breaks should leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work or school.

These are classic and trendy at the same time and I love the color. Pearl Huggie Hoops…

  • Planning a Staycation

    Spring Break Staycation Ideas

    I am all about the staycation! It’s perfect for spring break because it doesn’t always fall at the best time to travel, and really who wants to travel with everyone else in the world. The perks of a staycation are that you don’t have to pack, you get to sleep in your own bed, and there’s no jet lag. Plus, since you’re not spending money on flights or hotels you can stretch your budget a lot farther. So how do you make a staycation really feel like a vacation, and not just laying around on your couch watching Netflix? Here are my tips. Plan ahead. Having a specific plan in…
