Locker Decor

So we have decided to decorate R's locker on the DIY. We went to Dollar General and Target. R of course wants a chandler which I have so far managed to talk her out of. She seems to think her locker will be dark. I will post pictures after we decorate. 

To do DIY or purchase products for locker decorations.

So my dd is going to middle school and apparently it's a popular thing to decorate your locker. At least for the girls. Well after scouring the web and checking out the local stores I'm just not willing to spend $$$ on this stuff. So I pinned a few items and feel like its a better route to go. One pinned suggested getting items from PB Teen, and the dollar store. Well I checked out PB Teen and sorry I'm not spending the money there either. So it looks like we're going to Dollar Tree, Dollar General or whichever and figuring this out DIY style. Here's a great post on this subject. http://mylitter.com/craft/how-to-decorate-a-school-locker-for-less/

What's your thoughts? 

Middle School oh I'm not ready for this........

So this past weekend we got this postcard in the mail. It's for my dd "R" she's off to middle school this coming school year. She seems to be totally unfazed by this transition, but me on the other hand I'm terrified. Now don't go laughing at me that I'm terrified. It's just this isn't Kindergarten and I can't keep the world away as much as I could in elementary. Don't get me wrong I want her to experince the world and face all the challenges as a strong young lady. I'm just not ready for her to grow up. 

Start of the End

Well we're at the beginning of August which brings us to the end of summer vacation and into back to school mode. So I wonder when do most parents start the back to school routine. I've read the 7 Habits of Productive People and many other self help books. So I have it I pretty down pat.  Our routine starts 21 days out  from the start of school. Earlier bed times and such. So what's yours?  I would love to hear them.   

Fall and all it's fun

Well were in October and some how we're still having summer temps here in Texas. 

My sweet boy started Boy Scouts this year.  He is a Tiger Cub and is so excited about it.  Bryce has really started to enjoy the adventures he is having in Boy Scouts.  Jeffrey would never admit it but so is he. 

Riley is still in Girl Scouts and I have stepped down as her troop leader.  Time for her to try it on her own.  I am of course still adjusting to the change.  She doesn't really seem bothered by it.

I became a Pre-K teacher this year and I love it.  It is such a joy to see the kids faces. 

Now that I have some more time on my hands I hope to keep up with my blog and get back to many of my loves (hobbies) . 

Happy Day friends.

A month of Summer left

Were in the home stretch of summer vacation here.  Lots to get ready.

Monday Mumblings

So it's Monday of a new week. I have a mental list of "To Do's" for this week. Im pretty sure that most of it will get done. I have my DH home with us till Thursday. I'm thankful he took a few days off during the summer break tO hang out with us. I'm taking my CDA exam today. Which is for a Child Development Associates certification. I'm praying I do well this has been a long process.

Have to see what kind of fun we can have this week.

Happy Monday!
