Happy Valentine’s Week! 

I enjoy making printable Valentine’s for my girls class parties every year and usually we include some sort of candy as an attached gift.

But this year we did something a little different for my “tweens” Valentine’s cards.

According to my 4th grader Stella, Crocs and Croc charms to decorate them, are popular with all the kids , so we made Croc Valentine’s! 

These fun printable cards ae shaped like colorful Crocs shoes and perfect for gifting to school classmates for Valentine’s Day parties!

You can even attach a Croc charm to the card as a special gift!

Scroll down to download and print the cards.

These cards come two to a page and in 4 colors.

They also have two phrases and plenty of space to add a message and sign your name.

I ordered these Croc charms online in bulk. I got a pack of Stitch and Hello Kitty, Stella’s favorites!

This fun “You’ve Been Mugged” printable gifting game is a Christmas take on the popular “You’ve Been Booed” game.

Simply add a tag and info sheet to a coffee mug and fill it with treats then leave it as a surprise for your neighbors, coworkers, teachers, or friends.

Then they can keep spreading the Christmas cheer and “mug” someone else!

I’ve included free printable tags, door hangers, and signs along with an instruction sheet and even treat and gift ideas below!

This is a great way to gift just about anyone from coworkers to friends and even your kids’ teachers!

Simply print out the “You’ve Been Mugged” signs to include with your gift.

I adjusted mine to print 4 to a page and attached them as tags to the mugs.

There is also an instruction sheet to explain all the details.

Print then fold and add inside the mug.

I also included door hangers and funny gift tags too!

You can just gift the mug or add some treats like hot cocoa packets, tea bags, coffee pods, and candy.

 Just in time for back to school, these free printable Harry Potter bookmarks come in the four Hogwarts house colors

and feature some of the most famous character quotes. These make great gifts for book lovers and fun Harry Potter party favors too!

Simply download the page of bookmarks below and then cut out to use.

I love all the designs and quotes so much, I can’t pick a favorite!

“I solemnly swear I am up to no good.” – Harry Potter

Scroll down to download!

One page features all four colored bookmarks with quotes. 

Print out on a full sheet. I like to use cardstock to make them more durable. 

Once you cut out each individual bookmark you can start using ( or give as a gift). 

Another option – you can laminate them and/or you can punch a hole in the top and add a tassel. 

All four bookmarks features two quotes each from Harry Potter, Ruebus Hagrid, Luna Lovegood, and Albus Dumbledore .

The colors green (Slytherin), blue (Ravenclaw), yellow (Hufflepuff), and red (Gryffindor) represent the Hogwarts house colors. 

Print the bookmarks here!

Summer is almost here and that means school is ending soon and it’s time for kiddos to say bye to their wonderful teachers.

My girls and I love making creative gifts for their teachers at the end of every school year, and this year we decided to make these fun Teacher Survival Kit Snack Gift Boxes.

This fun gift is filled with all their teachers favorite treats along with a gift card and printable gift tag added on top.

A unique teacher gift that’s so easy to put together and fun to give for teacher appreciation and end of school! 

Stella’s sweet teacher Mrs L. was such a kind, thoughtful, and creative teacher. 

We are so grateful for her and hope she loved her gifts. 

Stella ready on her last day with her teacher gift.

These small tackle box style snack boxes are perfect for this fun gift idea and only cost $1 from Target’s Dollar Spot!

Print out the Teacher Survival Kit Tags and cut out.  There are two sizes available. 

Scroll down to download. 

The large size tags are what I used on the top of each snack box. 

The regular size tags are perfect for cutting out, punching a hole on top, and tying on a gift bag or basket. 

We decided to include both a gift card from Stella’s teachers favorite place (Chickfila) and a sample of her favorite small treats (truffles). 

I taped the gift card to the inside of the lid along with jeweled stickers spelling out her name. 

The small box has 6 square openings to be filled. Her teacher likes sour candies, gummies, and truffles so we filled it with those and added some “Smarties” to stick with the teacher theme! 

You can tape or tie on the tag. I used the large tag and added it to the top of the box with double-sided tape.

So fun, easy, and unique! 

I hope your kiddos teacher loves this gift as much as Stella’s did! Have a safe and fun summer!

Happy Fat Tuesday!

These printable masks come in three festive Mardi Gras designs.

Simple print, cut out, and tie on for a fun party mask or decoration.

We’ve got a Mardi Gras state of mind!

There are three designs on each printable sheet! 

Simple print, cut out, and tape to a stick (or straw like I did) or punch holes in the sides and tie on!

For the tie on style, I cut out then punched a hole on each side of the eye area as shown then used a string to loop through, knot, and tie to secure around my head.

For the stick style masks, simple use a stick, skewer, or (my favorite) a colorful straw and tape it on the backside corner of the mask.

Now you can hold up over your eyes Masquerade style! 

Now you have fun and free masks to wear to your Mardi Gras parties and parades!

Download and print masks below!

It’s Christmas movie night and tonight we are showing Home Alone!

To make it more fun (is that even possible?!), I provided props and an interactive script so everyone watching can Scream, Dance, and Snack along with the classic scenes from the movie!

This fun printable game is a great way for everyone, young and old, to participate in movie night! All props are easy to find and your Home Alone screening will be a blast! 

The simple props you need are gold chocolate coins, candy canes, pizza flavored goldfish crackers, gummy candy worms or spiders, and toy balls or craft fluff balls.

Follow along with the 13 prompts during the movie!

Stella loved eating a bite of a chocolate coin every time she saw she saw Harry’s gold tooth!

Have a fun movie night, ya filthy animal!

One of our favorite holiday family traditions is driving around to look at Christmas lights in our area.

I made it even more fun by creating this printable scavenger hunt for my kids to check off different lights and decorations we see!

This new version is updated for 2023!

You can check out the original scavenger hunt printable from 2018 here.

Scroll down to see our Christmas lights adventures this year and to download and print your scavenger hunt. 

Our festive family loves the holidays.

Even with traveling, school, car troubles, being sick, and all the other things that happened this month we always make time for our time together making memories.

Our Christmas lights drive tradition is a good one! We fill a thermos with hot cocoa, order subs to go, and load up in the van with blankets and our scavenger hunt. 

Then we put on the Christmas music and drive around our town looking at all the Christmas decor and dancing lights!

We are lucky to live in an area with lots of holiday lights! I have found the best way to find the most festive areas is asking friends, coworkers, and searching social media! 

Most local dancing lights have their own pages and videos posted. 

We could watch them all night! I especially like the Grinch lights.

Another place to check for festive decor: downtown squares, city parks, and family farms! 

Of course, lights at stores and malls can count too! This was at our local Bass Pro Shops.

We go here every year for free Santa photos too.

You know we go all out at home too! 

My husband and kids love inflatables so we have a fun collection of those front and center.

Our last home in Missouri had a much bigger yard than our current house, so we were able to display my favorite sleigh and reindeer.

One day we have a goal to have dancing lights and a “Griswold” style house! (IYKYK)
