About This Blog

This blog started out as a fun blog about different projects I did with my kids, then it turned into a homeschooling blog, now...it's kind of both. I love doing activities with my kids and making fun things for them to play with. I'm a huge fan of busy bag activities and I am a mild hoarder, as I feel the need to save EVERYTHING, just in case I find a fun activity that requires egg cartons or something. Also, I have a slight obsession with felt. I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe find some inspiration in the randomness of it all. :)

Summer Reading

I wanted to do a summer reading program with the kids, but couldn't find any charts that fit what I needed for the kids.  Plus, sticker charts have just not worked or us in the passed.  Not sure why.  My kids just don't find them motivating.  I happen to see a link for punch cards for completing school work and though, hey, we could do reading punch cards.  So, I made some.  They get a punch for every 10 minutes of reading they do. They can redeem each completed punch card for a reward.  Each card has more minutes than the last, so the rewards get bigger as they go.  While I was at it, I decided to try it out for potty training as well.  So far it has worked wonderfully.
