I'm so excited to have our resident graphic designer, MJ, back today with an ENTIRE FREE PRINTABLE PACK that I just know you're going to love!

Round Up: Our Most Useful FREE Printables for Your Kids

September 17 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Free Printables for Kids: Love all of these! Especially the knock-knock joke Advent calendar, reading scavenger hunt and kids' drawer organization labels!

The nature of blogging is so fast paced - always working to churn out that next post - that every once in a while, I put my head up and realize that there's a lot of great stuff essentially getting buried here. I try to help with menu bars and categories for things like Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life, In the Kitchen, or The Holidays- but the truth is a lot of you are viewing this on your phones and those menu bars are so teeny tiny they're virtually non-existent. So today, I thought I'd … [Read more...]

Free Printable: Setting up a Simple Routine with Kids

August 5 by Kaley

Free Printable: Making a simple schedule with kids - My kiddos have loved using this to help plan our days! #QuakerUp

Long summer days without the rushing and time constraints that come with the school year sound heavenly. Lazy days relaxing in the hammock and swimming until dark, then sleeping in and doing it all over again. Thats how I wanted my summer to go. But with two little ones running around, that just wasn't realistic. As an elementary school teacher, I know that kids thrive on routine. And setting up a simple routine always ensures smoother days but just the word "routine" seems to go against the … [Read more...]

Free Printable: Mother’s Day (and Father’s Day) Mad Libs Card

April 16 by MJ at Pars Caeli

Free Mad Libs Card printable - great for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher Appreciation and anything else your kids want to celebrate in a silly and fun way!

Before I became a parent, I had no idea of the role knock-knock jokes, mad libs, and the like would one day play in my home. With a 6 year old and a 4 year old - these things are the stuff of magic around here. My kids think they are absolutely hilarious and just cannot get enough - ever. Which is why I asked our contributor MJ to put together a colorful Mad Libs style card that can be used for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day, etc. Because I know the kids will want to fill them … [Read more...]
