Two Year Blogiversary and Giveaway!

We have been blogging for two years now! It's hard to believe it has been that long already! But I am so happy to still be blogging and look forward to another wonderful year! I'd like to share a couple of our highlights and share a few of our favorite posts from this past year.

Bean turned 5 over the winter and Munchkin will be 4 this summer. They are getting so big and are learning so much. Our homeschool year has been pretty amazing so far. Bean loves learning to read and write and pretends to be a dog nearly non-stop, and Munchkin is obsessed with Lego's, building (with anything) and learning about vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

I opened an Etsy store after enough readers asked if I sold my felt creations! It makes me so happy to share our creations with you. So many teacher's have ordered our felt board sets and use them in our classrooms! I have so much fun working with customers to create custom orders that are unique and fun to play with. And I always add a little something extra, which I think it pretty awesome. :)

I also became an Independent Consultant for Usborne Books & More. So if you are ever looking for amazing and educational books, stop by our store and check them out! Being a homeschooler, we love using these books for unit studies, casual reading, and projects. Bean loves Usborne's non-fiction fact books, lift-the-flap books and activity books, while Munchkin loves all the vehicle books, activity cards and Farmyard Tales books. If you ever want to earn FREE BOOKS by hosting an Usborne Facebook party, just sign up here or message me and I'll let you know how it works and answer any questions. 

I have continued to make felt crafts and love sharing them on the blog. I love reading the comments and when reader's let us know that our crafts inspired them to create their own felt foods or felt play mats for their kids. That's my main reason for blogging! I also started needle felting, which is so fun, but also painful when you accidentally stab your finger...

I finally started our Game of the Month series, which was a long time coming, where we share our favorite kid or family friendly games. We review them, teach you how to play and give you ideas on how to incorporate them into family game night or homeschool lessons. They are some of my favorite posts to write, since we absolutely love playing games. We'll start sharing more game posts throughout the month, primarily focusing on creating Family Game Night.
