Thanks so much for the freebie, Molly! I love sending them home with ideas to curb the "I'm bored" spiel!! The world is just too big and imaginations are too great for kiddos to be bored. Also, glamping?! I LOVE. 🙂 🙂 You're right–it's the perfect compromise!
Happy Friday, friend!!

You're so welcome, Erin! I agree – the words "I'm bored" are THE worst words a kid can mumble! And to answer your question about the shoes from a few weeks ago…yes, I do wear them all!
I love the idea of "glamping!" I'm so NOT a camper, but my hubby kind of likes it so maybe this would be a good compromise for us! I need a bed and a shower!

Totally, Lisa! It was super fun! The tents even had electricity! Haha. It's the only way I ever plan to camp in the future!
Oh my goodness! How have I not found you before?! So many things I love about your post! I LOVE your glamping view, how beautiful! I LOVE your newest stamps, what a great idea! I also did the gumball math and I loved it, I think I might steal your idea for a "You passed" stamp with the gumball machine on it! And I loved the link to the blog Two Things in Common, awesome! Anywho, I'm your newest follower!

Awww, Mandi, you're so sweet! Thank so much! So glad you stumbled over here! Have a great weekend!
I am totally with you on the camping front. I wish I was a better sport.
Thanks for the freebie. I'll pin it for next year and print it to use with my daughter this summer.
Have a great Friday!
School Is a Happy Place
You're so welcome! I don't understand why people would choose to sleep on the ground and get dirty when you can sleep in a hotel…next to nature! 🙂
Oh WOW – that is a great thing to send home full of ideas over the summer! Amazing!

Thanks so much, Susanna!
I loaded up on VistaPrint stuff last year and REALLY wish I would've thought of those cute stamp ideas! Adorable!

Well, the good news is that they're always basically giving stuff away for free, so you can add it to your next list!
Your view while camping was beautiful! I have been thinking about ordering from Vista Print. So many ideas and so hard to choose!

I agree – Vista Print sucks you in with their, "Would you like to add…" feature – gets me everytime!
Love all the Vista Print goodies. Your gumball math looks like a clever idea!

Thanks! It has made our math fact recall SO much better!
I love the trash can. This may be added to my summer "wish list." But I need to think think think about how I can use it. So many great ideas in this post. Thanks so much!!

Thanks, Em! The trash can was such a good deal I figured I could find something to use it for! However, I've been known to buy stuff that I don't need…but just really want! Haha
My husband runs a rafting company and my boys are guides so if I want to see them during the summer, I have to go camping. Your way sounds lovely! Lots of great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Wow – what an adventure for your boys! That's awesome! Maybe they can set up a canvas tent for you 🙂
I am not a camper either, but the way you did it sounds way more enjoyable! I love the Ikea trash can; I'm trying to figure out how I could use it in my own room. It's brilliant!

Thanks, Aimee! I've now decided it's the only way to camp! Have a fabulous weekend!
OMG! I have to have that Congrats you passed stamp for my multiplication timed tests! Did Vista Print make that too? Thanks for the freebie Molly!

Yes, I imported my own image for the gumball machine, but the words were even easier. You just click on the Advanced Options and you can easily choose from different fonts and sizes. Make sure to get the groupon, too!
Molly,
Your chevron numbers are ADORABLE and thanks for the freebie! Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Jenna! Check out Blair Turner's FB page – she has a few different sets of cute numbers for fans!
Molly, I love that trash can idea from Ikea. Is that a small Ikea trashcan? And those stamps are just darling, I always forget that VistaPrint makes that kind of stuff too. I'll have to remember that when I get my own classroom. Don't you just love Groupon? I made a wedding album with a Shutterfly Groupon over winter break. I love a good deal.

Thanks – can't take all the credit, though! Gotta love Pinterest! The garbage is probably a foot high? It's big enough to put folders inside with a lot of room to spare. And yes, I'm obsessed with Groupon! I end up buying unnecessary stuff for sure, but I love when I find helpful groupons! Hope you're having a great weekend!
