Today I am sharing with you a preschool printable pack that I made for my lovely readers. I am going to be participating in a weekly Homeschooling Unit Study group and plan to bring fun themed posts each Friday. The week’s theme is Reindeer so I created a simple preschool printable pack to help with some basic skills.

Since it’s December and almost Christmas I thought a fun activity would be to create a Tic Tac Toe game. I sent my younger boys outside to collect some sticks in order to made a nature Tic Tac Toe board. Once the sticks were brought in I tied them together with some string that we had.
I was having a hard time getting the sticks to stay still so Princess offered to help me get the string tied securely. Then she used a lighter to burn the ends after tying knots at each crosspoint.
Last year I picked up a cute pack of wooden reindeer from Target on clearance that I held back for this year. I wanted the boys to have some fun materials for this season so I just opened the wooden reindeer this week for the Reindeer Preschool Printable Pack and for this Tic Tac Toe game.
My kids enjoy a simple game of Tic Tac Toe and all it’s competitiveness that it brings out. I love seeing my children have something fun and simple that they can do together. So if you are looking for a quick way to entertain your children this Holiday Season then make a Tic Tac Toe board and use some small objects for your game pieces. You could use small cookie cutters, tiny ornaments or LEGO minifigures…
Do your children enjoy simple games like Tic Tac Toe? Maybe they would enjoy a good game of marbles or jacks!
This Winter I have decided that I want to make sure we always have a hot meal in the evenings when everyone is home so I have come up with
these Chicken Soup and Turkey Soup Recipes. I will probably use our bread-maker to make a fresh loaf of bread to go along with our soup and occasionally add in a salad or a dessert.
[Tweet “Warm up on a COLD winter day with a hot bowl of Chicken Soup or Turkey Soup!”]
I am planning to try a new recipe every week or two as the cold weather seems to be here to stay! I may even modify a few to be crockpot or instant pot recipes for easier meal prep!

I cannot believe that December is almost here! It’s time that I bring out our Christmas books and begin reading 1 or 2 each day. We own so many Christmas Books that we will need to read a few each day all month long in order to get through them all! This month’s free printable calendar is also clickable with links to Amazon so you can buy a book if you see one that you do not own!

I long to spend the night in a tent a few times a year but packing up the van and heading to a campground is tricky with four kids and two dogs. I have opted for backyard camping adventures with whomever may want to enjoy an evening in a tent with mom.
Our current tent will not house our entire family or the dogs but is fine for an adult and two kids. I have always heard that you should buy a bigger tent then you need so you have room for gear. I am also considering two tents that house 4 people which should give us ample room for ourselves and our gear. Another bonus of owning smaller tents is indoor camping during the Winter! I keep in mind the tent size and if it will fit in our living room with minimal furniture arranging! If we had a large den or basement I would keep those spaces in mind for sleepovers and birthday parties.
We are also looking into new sleeping bags and air mattresses depending on what size tent we buy. I have been looking at tents that will house a queen size mattress which means queen size bedding. I highly recommend an air mattress over a sleeping pad for more comfortably sleeping. Each child brings out their own pillow, blanket and a snuggle toy or ten!
