Halloween Trick or Treat Bags

trick or treat bag

Here is my daughter’s trick or treat bag I made for her to use this year.  I let each of my kids pick out their clipart images for their bags so they are very excited to use them.  You can purchase these bags in the craft section at the store.  You’ll also need to purchase iron on transfer paper from the office supply section.  Design your bag on Photoshop or any other design software.  It is very important that you flip your design horizontally before you print it so it won’t be backwards when you iron it on.  Then you print out your design on the iron on transfer paper and iron it on your bag according to the directions on your iron on transfer paper.  Very simple, inexpensive and cute!

Baby Book

baby book

When I got pregnant I started looking through baby books.  I saw that my own baby book wasn’t completely filled out and neither were my sibling’s books.  I decided I wanted to be organized and keep my children’s baby books up to date.  I made a template for my book in Microsoft Word and I fill it out in my own handwriting.  I think my children will like to see what my handwriting looks like.  I started with pregnancy sheets to keep track of each month of pregnancy.  Then when they were born I started filling out their baby book pages.  I keep it updated monthly until they are two years old then I switch to every six months.  It keeps track of things they have accomplished, or silly things they’ve done or said.  It has a page for things that I hope I never forget about them as well as monthly notes about things they are learning and doing and their likes and dislikes.  I really treasure these books and I keep all the pages in page protectors in their own notebooks.

Here is a copy of my pregnancy and baby book pages you can download:

Mothers Fathers Day Sheets

For My husband and I and our parents, we have our kids fill out this sheet.  It tells all the reasons they love us.  They also color the picture at the top.  I love to hear their answers and see how their coloring and signature changes from year to year.  We enjoy this much more than any store bought gift.

Here are the sheets for each holiday that you can download.

Library Book Bag

library bag

My daughter loves to go to the library.  I purchased an inexpensive tote bag and used iron on transfer paper to add the photo and the words, “Ella’s Library Books.”  She loves having her own bag to carry to the library and fill with books.  At home, she keeps the books in her bag which keeps us from searching the house for lost library books.  I also limit her to 6 books she can check out at a time.  I do this so we always know she has 6 books and they are kept in the library bag.
