Easy scrapbooking using the ~Project Life app~
This is definitely one of the easiest ways I have found to document family photos. I am constantly falling behind with printing off my photos especially when they're on my phone. I love how easy project life is. Simply drop the photo into already made templates. You can even choose from an array of journaling cards as well. For an added bonus you save in the app and purchase directly from the app. My first batch of photos came out perfect. Also I was completely impressed by how fast they arrived. I received my order within 3 working days!!! With 4 kids life can get hectic and this definitely helps keep me organized. BeckyHiggins.com

Promoting reading development
Happy Monday, today I wanted to spread the word on another great Pinterest find. I have been searching for activities to help and promote reading for my Daughter. I came across the site Listed below. There are many useful downloads on this site from Alphabet wall posters, Alphabet flash cards, uppercase and lower case tracing cards and so much more. My daughter is in the process of learning how to read. Below you will see the cards that I printed. I simply cut them out individually and them laminated each card. I bought sponge letters from the dollar store. Ava enjoyed sounding out the word and finding the sponge letter that belonged to each card. You could also use dry eraser markers and simply print on the laminated card and erase after. http://homeschoolcreations.com

Making No-Bake Play-dough
I'm sure many moms have been in that position where your kids want to participate in some sort of craft. So I took advantage of my computer and found sites on making your own Playdough. Ussally I just purchase Playdough at the store but, recently have noticed how quickly it hardens. I though that this would be the perfect time to see what all the buzz was about This is so simple to make. Completely a fun and easy experience! My Daughter Ava was involved in creating the playdough.
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 tbs of cream of tartar
1 tbs of oil
Food colouring
1 cup of boiling water
Directions
Mix all ingredients except the boiling water together into a large mixing bowl
Add the boiling water and mix well (Note, the food colouring will mix in better if added to the boiling water) Please take care when using boiling water around children. I also dusted my cutting board with flour and proceeded to kneed the Playdough with my hands.
