  3. love the giveaway!! awesome stuff. the mixer has been on my wish list for over five years now 🙂 maybe ill win one

  5. I send my Mom unusual stationery, small business only, every year. I haven’t decided what to give myself, as of yet. Even thought I take care of my three grandchildren, my daughter never acknowledges me on Mothers’ Day.

  7. Wow!! This is awesome!! Would love a Cricut and would have to go with the camera since mine died!!

  12. My blistered and sore fingers would be eternally grateful to have this machine!!!! 🙂 I’ve been cutting out shapes by hand with just scissors for my projects. And the mixer would be awesome too… been stirring everything also by hand. Oh the things I could make and the time (and pain) I could save with these two!!!

  13. My mom is gone 18 years now, but I’m making a special framed gift for my daughter––wish I had a Cricut to help me out!

  19. Great for this. I plan on cooking a special dinner for both my mom and my sister who recently became a mom to three months ago. Their favorites dishes are on the go hahaha.

  21. I would love to be entered for this! I don’t have a mom anymore, but I’m a mom to two amazing daughters-in-law and would love to share with them. Thanks for the opportunity!

  22. My mom passed when I was very young, but my aunt stepped in and has treated me as a daughter ever since. So I have actually been working on a crocheted sweeter for her. She is a mom to me in every way.

  23. My mom is the best mom ever! sorry everyone! 😉 I ordered her a necklace from Rusted Chain in memory of our late pup Tessie.

  24. My mom died when she was 36, but my daughter is a mom. I usually bake her any dessert she wants, but my home is under repair after a slab leak, so no baking this Mother’s Day.

  25. I’m making her my homemade Meyer lemon sugar scrub, Lavender bath salt and some Strawberry Meringue Roses cookies. 🙂

  33. This is a great giveaway! I would love to win the Cricut and my daughter (mother of 3) could really use a stand mixer.

  44. I’m making my mom a paper flower bouquet and card…all cut by hand though! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  48. I always do flowers for my mom. Either some sort of hanging basket or herb arangement. It seems to be the best Mother’s Day gift ever!

  61. I am making a swim suit cover-up. My mom exercises in the summer by swimming.

  62. My Mom has Alzheimers and loves the hand made cards I make for her. I could totally upgrade them with a Cricut! I would be so grateful!!!Let me say I love your blog and have shared various projects with many friends.

  63. My mother hasn’t been with us for some time, but this year I’m sharing Mother’s Day with my niece. She’s just received a grim prognosis so our plans are to make lots of memories with her young girls. The circuit and camera would be great tools for saving those memories. Great give away!

  65. I’m not sure what I’m making her yet. Something with a picture of my kids on it probably

  66. I make cards for my mother all the time. It would be so cool to have the circuit cutter to help with that. The other two prizes are great too.

  68. It would be nice to have new cameras to exchange pictures with my mom of my two little guys (2 years and a 2 month old). A cricut cutter could really help with making freezer paper templates for their shirts!!

  70. I haven’t ever done scrapping before, but after being an avid fan of people on Pinterest who do this, I would love to learn!

  72. Thank you for this! I’ve been wanting one for almost 10 years now! *Fingers Crossed*!!

Peach Themed Learning Activities

August is National Peach Month, and it’s the perfect time to learn about, learn with and eat peaches!

According the Utah State University’s Extension Service, peaches originated in China more than 8,000 years ago. There are more than 2,000 species, and they are good sources of vitamins A, C and E. Their fuzzy hair is known as trichomes, which helps protect the peaches against insects and retains moisture. Pretty sweet!

Learn about the life cycle of a peach with this printable pack from Every Star is Different. (Free to subscribers)

Twisty Noodle has a lot of great peach-themed worksheets including a tracing and coloring page, a dot to dot coloring page, do a dot page and practice writing the word peach. You can also learn to draw a peach from Hello Artsy and find more fruit coloring pages, including peaches, at Little Bee Family.

Kids of a certain age will want to read James and the Giant Peach (and/or watch the movie) and you can do activities related to the book for your peach unit study as well. 

Simple Living Creative Learning has a James and the Giant Peach printable pack that includes 153 pages of math, literacy, pattern recognition, sorting and tons more (this isn’t free but it’s a great resource for a kid who loves this book). 

Where the Magic Happens Teaching has another paid printable set of activities for doing James and the Giant Peach in the classroom, including a banner, quotes, poetry sheets, a STEM activity, lapbook and more.

Peanut Butter Fish Lessons has a good post about reading James and the Giant Peach with kids and using it to make predictions, track descriptive and figurative language and fun ideas for activities related to different chapters of the book. I love how it pulls in a lot of different kinds of synthesizing what you’ve read, from writing a news report to making a poster or acting out a scene. 

And if you need a little sensory activity after all that, make some peach-scented playdough with this recipe from Laughing Kids Learn.
