A couple of years ago I created some fun monthly calendars full of unique and fun holidays.My kids really loved them and I decided it would be fun to do them again this year. We do not celebrate every holiday and we do we keep quite simple. I loved that it was a fun reminder to spend time with my kids, to slow down and create some memories. February is full of some fun and kind of quirky holidays. I found some kid friendly ones that I think will be perfect to incorporate into our preschool plan or use it as a fun way to connect with my kids (I'm really excited that my older school aged kids can join in as well). Simply download a copy of the calendar, print, and display. You do not need to celebrate all of them (we probably won't) just pick and choose what works for you and your family. I'll be posting ideas as I finalize my plans and also as we celebrate some of these holidays. My hope is that this will be something fun for your family and a way to create some special memories. I'd love to hear your ideas and see pictures of your celebrations! Holiday's came from here and here. Download your Free calendar here!

I can't believe another month is almost over. I think it will be one I always remember. I love the May Holiday Calendar. There are so many fun and unique holidays to celebrate. We don't celebrate all of them and the ones we do are often a small craft, treat, or game. It's just a small thing but it makes me pause from the daily to-do list and just be present. This month I found 24 fun holidays to include on our May Calendar (most I didn't know existed). Pick a few or all and have fun :) Download a copy of the calendar, print, and display. After that have fun creating some special memories with your little ones. Download your copy here
With the arrival of baby #5 just a little over a month a way and the New Year I've been trying to find some ways to simplify life and figure out a routine that works for us. One of the big thing we changed is our preschool plan. We were apart of a little group where we rotated houses. It was fun but it wasn't the right fit for us. So that means we will be doing preschool at home and there will be more posts and plans for you! I can't wait! One thing I'm excited to start is this monthly calendar full of some fun and kind of quirky holidays. I found some kid friendly ones that I think will be perfect to incorporate into our preschool plan or use it as a fun way to connect with your kids (I'm really excited that my older school aged kids can join in as well). Simply download a copy of the calendar, print, and display. You do not need to celebrate all of them (we probably won't) just pick and choose what works for you and your family. Download your copy here My kids love something new and unexpected. It doesn't need to be anything elaborate or take a lot of planning. Many days just do exactly what it says like take a bubble bath, hug some one, or do a puzzle. Here are a few ideas I came up with (click on the images to take you to the post): New Years Bird day Martin Luther King Jr. Day Popcorn day: make a bag of popcorn, snuggle up and watch a movie. OR try one of the delicious popcorn recipes on pinterest. Like this Unicorn popcorn or This Cookies and Cream one! Appreciate a dragon day Sew some dragon tails or try this fun experiment a cute paper plate craft or watch How to Train Your Dragon or my favorite Pete's Dragon! This is just the cutest party/movie night idea I'll be posting ideas as I finalize my plans and also as we celebrate some of these holidays. My hope is that this will be something fun for your family and a way to create some special memories. I'd love to hear your ideas and see pictures of your celebrations!

I think I say this all the time but the months seriously fly by. I can't believe its almost May! For us that means school projects and activities, recitals, and yard work. With a crazy schedule its easy to get in the mind set of just getting through the day. That is one of the biggest reasons I love these calendars. It helps me get out of that mind set and do something fun with my family. There are so many fun holidays in May I kind of want to celebrate all of them!
