Beautiful Birthday Butterfly Bash!




Butterflies are beautiful and ethereal - like real world fairies! What better theme for an imaginative, creative kid's birthday party? Here are some awesome finds I ran across while planning my daughter's butterfly party...

DIY & low cost ideas...

Coloring sheets are a great activity, decoration, and favor! String some colored versions on ribbon for a quick inexpensive decoration. This page has a large selection of both more cartoon style and sophisticated zentangle style butterflies! The Butterfly Site has some pages of specific types of butterfly as well as a life cycle page. Mom Junction has a page with a lot of different species of butterfly as well as a color by number.

Amazon finds...






Oriental Trading has some awesome butterfly items as well at great prices- and if you order through Ebates, as of when I'm writing this you can get 2% cash back! (That is my affiliate link - but I use Ebates myself & I share because I think others might like it as well!)

Let's start at the very beginning - invitations! These are really cute and reasonably priced - $2.47 for 8 invitations.

This butterfly hanging door curtain is super adorable and would make a cute decor piece to keep in their room as a reminder of the party - maybe hung in front of a window.

Next find - butterfly design plates! And Truly Fairy paper cups - with a paper butterfly perched on them. These butterfly shaped folding hand fans would make a wonderful favor - and could double as decor! These craft supply 1" butterflies would be great as either a craft project addition or as decor, as well as these realistic butterfly self adhesive shapes. This 9ft butterfly tissue paperchain would really brighten up any party room. Neon Butterfly notepads are another favor option.

This butterfly magnet craft kit might be a good party activity. Another option would be to buy an assortment of beads, including these butterfly beads, and do a bracelet craft.

Homeschool Kindergarten

Hi! Homeschool mom here, I’ve done homeschool kindergarten 4 times. 😊 I love it. Here are some thoughts on how to do kindergarten at home!  So for kindergarten you want to have one hour or less of sit down, formal lessons each week day. I fill that hour with the basics: reading, writing, and math. 20 minutes of a reading lesson, 20 minutes of math, 10-15 minutes on handwriting. All About Reading is a great reading curriculum. You can buy it used and skip the readers to save money. I like Zaner Bloser handwriting. I order my homeschool supplies from Rainbow Resources website.  In addition, I definitely recommend you do a daily read aloud time. During breakfast or lunch or afternoon art time, sit down and read out loud for 20 minutes or as long as they will listen! Children’s poems, nursery rhymes, picture books, even a chapter book that they can understand. This is also a great spot to add a gentle history curriculum (I like Story of the World), books about famous people or events, etc

What We’re Reading - February

Hey y’all! 👋Happy February! Around here February is a whole month dedicated to hearts, doily decorations, and generally amping up the theme of love. 💕 In line with that theme...here are some books we're reading this month that we love and you might too! All Amazon links are affiliate links. If you click and buy, it supports my blog and pays me to keep writing! So please feel free to click through and buy a stack of books. 😉 (Or, add the incredibly helpful Chrome Library extension to your browser, and put a stack on hold while viewing them on Amazon. So handy!) So I read all of book 3 and most of book 4 of the Gregor the Overlander series this weekend, catching up to my 9yo. We've been getting them from the library but may need to spring for a box set since I foresee rereads in our future! (2/26/18 update - I read the last book this weekend and I was SO SAD to be finished with such a great series. Fortunately, the littler kids were clamoring to be involved

Birthday Manners for Children

I tried googling for something like this for my kids to read and couldn’t find it, so I wrote one. Feel free to take it and tweak it for your personal use with your kids. :) —————————— Birthday Manners When someone takes the time out of their day to come to your party, that is a gift. Time is valuable and they’re spending it on you. When people arrive, greet them cheerfully and say hi. If they say Happy Birthday, say “thank you!” When they leave, say, “thank you for coming!” It is important to be and act thankful for every single gift, even if you do not like it.  The giver spent time and money on you and it is rude to act disappointed or bored with a gift, no matter what it is.  Thank each person politely, with eye contact & with a smile as you open their gift.  When a gift is wrapped in a gift bag, take out all the tissue paper first, then the gift. This way the bag is clearly empty or not, and you don’t miss anything or look like you expected more by loo
