I hope you're all having an excellent March so far. You may know already, but March is Women's History Month, so we couldn't let it pass without celebrating! So, Our Women's History Month Coloring Pages are on sale all month in our Etsy Shop! You can get them now to use with your students and children at 20% off!  Don't miss out on these awesome pages that celebrate women! 

I'm so excited to share these coloring pages with you. I have been working on them since December or January and learning about the 9 women (it was hard to narrow down!) we chose was so inspiring and interesting. And I have to say at times their stories made me so sad too (especially Sacagawea's!).

The women we chose for this pack were:

• Sacagawea- A Lemhi-Shoshone woman  responsible for the success of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
• Harriet Tubman- An enslaved person who was able to escape the evils of slavery and help others escape too.
• Susan B. Anthony- An activist who fought her whole life for women's suffrage.
• Marie Curie- The only Nobel Laureate who had 2 Nobel prizes in different scientific fields.
• Rosa Parks- The mother of the Civil Rights movement in the United States.
• Amelia Earhart- The first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.
• Diana, Princess of Wales- The princess who changed the dynamic of the Royal Family with more hands on charity work.
• Simone Biles- A brilliant gymnast who is the third most decorated gymnast world-wide.
• Malala Yousafzai- An advocate for education for all women and children around the world.

It was so hard narrowing down our list of women who have inspired us throughout history to be better versions of ourselves. But I think our little pack is a great start!

I'm so excited to use these to teach my kids about these incredible women. Not just in March, but throughout the whole year. I know my kids are excited too because when I printed off my test copies they wanted to color them right away. And I just got them Crayola Colors of the World pencils and markers that include 24 different shades for coloring skin. This makes even me excite to color the pages too!

I hope you can enjoy these posters with your family and friends too! Who are some more women in history that you love learning about (and would like a poster of)?

     Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show loved ones how much you care, and what better way to do that than with homemade pop-up cards? This year, my kids (ages 9 and 7) and I spent an afternoon creating Valentine’s cards using simple pop-up methods. It was such a fun and creative way to bond as a family—and the results were adorable! Here's how we did it and how you can, too.

     Back in August, I shared with you my Garden Journal and my plan to try to have something growing all year round in my garden.  I used my Garden Journal to plan everything out and kept notes about everything that happened in my garden.  As you can see, I've been having tremendous results! I'm harvesting peas, spinach and beets, along with the beet greens.  My Broccoli is beginning to flower and a few carrots are sprouting.  Hopefully, my Fall Garden Harvest will get done this month and I can start putting in my Spring Garden after that! I've already starting sprouting transplants.   I feel like I'm kicking off the New Year right!  

     We love eating seafood in our family, but as you know, it can be pricey! 
     Alicia found a great price on frozen flounder filets at her local Kroger store in GA, just $5.00 for a package of about 7 or 8 filets!  I've found the same deal at my Kroger store (Frys)  here is AZ, so if you have a Kroger store near you, I'll bet they have similar deals. 
     Alicia hadn't prepared flounder before.  It is a tender white fish with a delicate flavor.  She looked around for recipes and didn't have the ingredients called for for the one she found.  She decided to make up her own recipe.   It quickly became a family favorite!  Her children scarfed it down and asked for more! When I went to visit her after she had her most recent baby, she prepared this flounder dish for me and I knew that it needed to be shared on the blog!
