Soap Gift Tags for Teachers

I attached these cute little tags to my kids teacher Christmas gifts. To print yours download it here!

Luke 2:52

Sharing time on Sunday is revolved around the scripture Luke 2:52 "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." The outline suggests that we sing "Jesus Once Was A Little Child" and display pictures of Jesus at different stages of his life which I plan to do. Then it suggests that we divide the primary kids into 4 groups and in each group we rotate into stations to focus on each section of this scripture. With my small primary, it's fun and easy to go a little overboard on handouts and activities! This time I made a little booklet for each child to take around to each station and fill out or work on. Hopefully, after sharing time the kids will have the desire to be like Jesus in each of these areas so that they can have a balanced life.

I think by looking at my outline, these documents will be self-explanatory! I plan to give my adult helpers a copy of what they should do in their station (found in the outline.) I plan to copy these booklets {double-sided} at the church library...the activity on a full sheet should be in the middle!

Be Dependable

Here is a subway art that I made for my Young Women's lesson last year about Being Dependable:

Hooked On You Printable

My 3 year old boy wanted to give his friends some gummy worms with a Valentine that says 'Hooked On You.' I made these little tags to staple to the top of a little treat bag that I'll put the gummy worms in.


I used the graphic from Lettering Delights...one of my favorite places to go for fonts, svgs, and graphics. And I used the font called 'Doodle Kid' also from Lettering Delights!

14 Days of Valentine's - for the hubby!

***This post was written in 2011!***

I am one of those that isn't such a big fan of Valentine's Day. I think that we need to express our love more than just once a year. I also don't like going out on Valentine's Day because it's always so busy & expensive. In my efforts to show my love towards my hubby better I was inspired when I read her 14 Days of Valentine's tradition. I am getting so excited to surprise Steve and do something so unexpected. Knowing that he never reads my blog...especially this one...I am posting my ideas for this year...my 1st Annual 14 Days Of Valentines!!

**Tues Feb 1-Write a poem to introduce what I'm doing (but I don't want to give too much info!) and invite him to our Valentines date... plus add a little chocolate or yummy treat
**Wed Feb 2-Just the 2 of us... 2 tickets to a movie for the weekend
**Thurs Feb 3- Give him a picture of the 3 kids for him to put in his office
**Fri Feb 4- Date night to do sealings and remember our own sealing
**Sat Feb 5- Breakfast in bed
**Sun Feb 6- 6 ways to say I love you on his truck windows with a car wash coupon (oh shoot...he can't wash his truck until Monday!)
**Mon Feb 7- Watch a flick in bed after kids are asleep... maybe Flipped or Valentines Day
**Tues Feb 8- I'll love you for eternity (8 sideways) love note
**Wed Feb 9- turn on romantic music at 6am for an early morning wake up call!
**Thurs Feb 10- 10 fingers to rub your 10 toes
**Fri Feb 11- Remember our first dance, kiss, date, etc (I'm going to try to remember 11 firsts!)
**Sat Feb 12- 12 months worth of dates...I want to make a book with money/tickets/etc and a date idea for each month this year.
**Sun Feb 13- Put kids to bed early...Romantic homemade candle light dinner
**Mon Feb 14- FHE about why we love Dad - make a slide show with a bunch of pictures with dad...all this after our heart shaped pizza dinner.

I am intentionally trying to make this inexpensive yet thoughtful and surprising. I am excited to try this one out...I hope he likes it!!
