Fun Way to Practice Spelling Words

Have you ever heard of Spelling City? It's this great and FREE website where you child can play games with their spelling words. We used it the last year and are utilizing it again this year. I love it because not only are the kids practicing their spelling words, they are becoming familiar with the keyboard and learning to type in the process.

At our school, the kids have to practice spelling words every night. We have to log the practice and send it back to the teacher each week. You can actually print out some of the games and activities to show your work.

It's a great resource. I have lots of fun sites like this that we use. My kindergartner uses Starfall every day. It's a great learning to read resource.

What are some of the websites that you use? Let's share and make learning a lot more fun!!

I love to shop

It's no secret, that I am a shop-a-holic. Do I always have money to buy? No :(, but I love to look and I had a few fun stores book marked on my computer and I have to share them with you. Great gift-ideas this holiday season!! And affordable, that is always high on my priority list!
Tres Chic Boutique carries a variety of items from jewelry, home decor, baby girl clothes, and chic neck ties for guys. This website totally makes me think of Mandee. She loves big chunky, funky jewelry!! This particular set is only $ 10.99. That's necklace and earrings, what a steal!!

Cammi over at Scribble it is amazing! I have a huge wishlist from this store! I have won 2 giveaways hosted by her in the last several months. I used my recent win, a gift certificate, to help me purchase the metal nativity set. And it is darling!!! She has really easy craft kits that you can put together and give as Christmas presents to your family and the great thing is, they are affordable!

Accessory Ave. has the cutest scripture totes, scripture & hymnal cover, darling purses and super cute hair accessories! And she is affordable! Loving her stuff! She even offers custom orders. Definitely a must see.

Green Jello With Carrots

If your serving in any capacity in the LDS Church, then you'll want to check out this sight. I stumbled across is last week while I was preparing my lesson for YW & my husbands lesson for primary. Double Duty!!! I had gone to all the usual websites, (sugardoodle, idea door, mormon share) and had yet to find exactly what I was looking for. I stumbled across Green Jello with Carrots and I went through their whole website! I ended up downloading a coloring sheet, YW bookmarks, and some other YW clipart.

Darling Young Women handouts. I am currently the 1st conselour in yw, and so I loved these. There are so many great ideas out there, and there are weeks when I just don't have the time to go and hunt for handouts and ideas.

Primary talks! I would so buy these. I hate coming up with talks and finding pictures for talks. This would be so worth my money.

They have some great things! It is not a completely free sight, but it's affordable. I paid .89 cents for the coloring sheet that I can save to my computer and reproduce. I'm using it for my hubby's lesson and I am also going to use if for Family Home Evening.

They also have a great little program called Freebie Fridays, where they offer one of their awesome products for free. So cool! You have to hurry though, because once Friday's done, the freebie is gone. I dowloaded their freebie last week and I'm on way to download todays! Head over and get yourself a little freebie!!!

Creative Park

This is a goldmine! Seriously, the best website I have found in ages. I found it via Creature Comforts, which is also a seriously fun blog to look at.

Creative Park is an online collection of printing resources, all of which can be downloaded for free.Download various different materials, and have fun making your own original goods!

They have everything you could ever imagine, from scapbook pages, paper crafts, cards, calendars, and an amazing photo gallery full of images that are copyright free! I love those words! I spent hours looking at all the fun projects they have!

I have dozens of projects to now do! I will post pictures as we go! I just hope I will have enough time now that school is out to do some projects! Go check it out.
