Winter Fun Activities for Kindergarten

I've been searching around for lots of new things to do this winter and I thought I'd share some of the great freebies that are out there.

I know there are tons of great paid items, as well. However, I'm a huge Dave Ramsey fan and one of my goals for the New Year is to pay off our last 20 acres by the end of the year so I was only looking for freebies. (If you haven't heard of Dave Ramsey, you should definitely check him out. His book, Total Money Makeover, completely changed the way I look at money, finances and debt.)


If you have a New Year's goal to save money or pay off debt, you should definitely look into his books or classes. Sorry for the little plug for Dave, but I love him!!! A sweet friend of mine gave me free tickets to see him live a few months ago and according to my husband, you would have thought I was a teenage groupie the way I was like, "Oh, Dave! Did you know I get to go see Dave? Look, there's MY Dave!" Ha! It's seriously sad, but I do love the man for saving my finances. My biggest and best achievements were paying off my grad school student loans years early and saving an additional $300 per month for retirement. We now have everything but our land paid off and that is such a huge blessing. Yay! Now back to our regularly scheduled post on winter planning. Sorry! ;)

A Printables Challenge from Teaching Heart {I've Included Freebies!}

Yesterday, I came across the Amazon Gift Card Giveaway at Teaching Heart. I loved the challenge of only being able to use Microsoft Clip Art and having limited topics. As you can tell, I'm quite the Scrappin' Doodles lover, so I felt a tad bit intimidated and limited by only being able to use MS Clip Art, but thrilled to be able to get myself out of the little box I tend to get in creatively. :) 

By the time I found the giveaway, I had to go pick up my son from school and I had an appointment to get my hair highlighted, so I was really anxious to get back home and start working on as many things as I could in a short amount of time. See what I came up with below. :)

All of these printables have multiple pages, so you can click on the picture or the link and it will take you to all of the pages. I just added a picture of the first page of each one. Enjoy!
