I know. I know.
I did a poll asking if I should make gifts for the teachers for the first day of school, and you guys basically said, “… you’re doing too much.” 😂 But I can’t help it.
I made these little first-day gifts for our lead teacher and teacher assistants because I genuinely believe any opportunity to say thank you is one worth taking.
Teachers pour SO much into our kids. They teach them, encourage them, keep them safe, help them navigate big feelings, celebrate their little wins, and somehow manage a classroom full of tiny humans every day. And honestly, helping care for and teach my child is one of the most important jobs there is.
So no, a first-day gift certainly isn’t necessary. And no, I don’t think parents need to feel like they have to do something elaborate. But for me, this is just a small way to start the year by saying, “We appreciate you, and we’re so thankful you’re here.” ❤️
And apparently I am physically incapable of doing “just a little.” 😂
Here’s to a new school year and the teachers who make such a huge impact on our kids. 🍎✏️❤️

Summer Week 5: Red, White & Crew ❤️🤍💙
Okay, I KNOW I’m late posting Summer Week 5 😂 but we called it a Red, White & Crew week because half of it was spent traveling to be with family for the Fourth of July 🇺🇸
And honestly, this was one of my favorite weeks because I didn’t have to plan much at all. ❤️🤍💙
There are SO many easy red, white & blue foods to make, plus festivals, fairs, fireworks, parades, pool days, and all the little Fourth of July activities happening everywhere. It was the perfect week to just take advantage of what was already going on and enjoy some extra time with family.
⭐️ Make It Monday was the hit of the week: we made Fourth of July shirts with handprints and star stickers, and the boys were OBSESSED. Such a simple craft, but definitely one we’ll be keeping!
A slower, more spontaneous week was exactly what we needed. 🇺🇸❤️

🚧 WEEK 4: LITTLE BUILDERS + BIG TRUCKS 🚜
This week I challenged myself to not buy a bunch of stuff just to make our theme work. So we got creative with what we already had, and the boys had SO much fun. 🤎
🚜 Construction truck scavenger hunt with their own trucks + a printable checklist
🍓 A dump truck made from fruit carrying granola on their yogurt bowls
🧩 Construction puzzles + lots of truck play
🎨 Chocolate-scented Play-Doh made at home:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup fine table salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 and 1/2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1/2 cup boiling water
🌮 Build-your-own nacho bar with a little food guide
🥣 Build-your-own trail mix in muffin tins, complete with a “blueprint” sign
🏗️ Field Trip Friday at a new Omaha indoor play space where they could play in sand with dump trucks, bulldozers + more!
The “build-your-own” concept may have been a little lost on the toddlers 😂 but they absolutely loved being involved in making their own food.
And that was really the theme of this week: you don’t need to buy more to make a theme fun. Sometimes all it takes is looking at what you already have a little differently. 🤎
