I have the most annoying earworms one could possibly have, with children's music of all things. Now, when I was a very small child in the 1980s, no later than this, I had 3 cassette tapes in total, which were all produced, published, recorded in the UK, I'm certain of that, because I can remember the voices singing the songs on these tapes and some of the background music to go with the songs. The first and most crazy of the lot, is an A to Z alphabetical order double cassette tape album, of things beginning with those letters. I will give out side 1 of song titles.A is for ABC. 2. B is for Beaver Towers. c is for Christmas time. D is for doll's house. E is for Elephant, f is for fairy shoemaker, g is for going to School. It was a British female singer and producer, possibly a celebrity as this is so flipping hard to come by. She has quite a plumby British accent.
Second cassette then, it appears to be a collection of covered tv theme songs from the Postman Pat theme, to my little pony intro theme from the 1985 LP picture disk which is on Youtube, Super Ted, The Frog Song, Rupert The Bear song, Goofy's On The Open Road, Chugging Steam Train song, not sure what that tv program was though, Herbert The Hedgehog, a song about care bears. T'beside what I remember. I had these tapes as a child. Another tape was a nursery or preschool choir, singing songs about donkeys, Charlie something or other, nice young man, when I first came to this land, a song about London Bridge, a song about birds in the morning, a song about a sailor on a ship, what a merry hum, 5 green bottles Etc. If anybody could throw some light on what the above collections, names of these children's cassette tapes were so I can hopefully, obtain new copies of them for my childhood memorabilia collection, I would be eternally greatful.

2024.05.11 20:37 PIGEONS_UP_MY_ASS I always cry at the memories of me being a young child without bipolar
I was so innocent and happy. I remember being in reception (first year of primary school, age 4 - 5 for those not in the UK). I have so many memories of being happy and innocent. Even the silly things make me sad and nostalgic. For example I never knew how to do the zip on my coat so I'd go to the teaching assistant at the same time everyday for help. Eventually when I knew how to do it, I'd pretend not to know just to get her to help me again.
I spent the first few weeks crying because big school was so scary. My grandparents would come in for the first few hours and build Lego with me. I remember story time. When I cried, my teacher let me pick a book and she read it to me until I was okay
I remember getting into silly arguments with my teacher. I'd have a tuna sandwich for lunch and be convinced it was chicken. No matter what she said, I was just not convinced lol. I had a stuffed animal I kept for years that I'd bring to preschool everyday (age 2 - 3)
In year 1 and 2 (age 5 - 7) I was bad at maths. I always was and still am. It would upset me a lot and I'd cry when I didn't understand (sometimes still do lmao). My teacher didn't shout at me like in later in my life, they instead would sit next to me and help me gently. I even had some teachers that would hug me when I cried. There was this teacher that would only appear to help on school trips, there was one time I was really upset when I was in reception. It was winter and I was cold and wanted to go home. She held my hand the whole time and let me drink her water when I was thirsty.
I have these memories and I cry. I hear and remember the theme tunes of kid shows I used to watch and I cry. (2000s and 2010s CBeebies was peak TV). Now I'm 18 and a bipolar porn addict. What did I do to be this wrong? I hate it here. I can't tell if I want to die or if I want to relive just one day when I was younger. I hate this.

2024.05.11 04:14 LizzieDizzle Suggestions for Elementary Graduation
My fifth grader has been invited to read a poem at her elementary graduation and she wants to read song lyrics from tMG (!!! It’s happening!) They’re her favorite band and she has seen them twice so far.
She has been a student at this school since preschool, and the other two graduates are kids who have been there with her the whole time and they’re all going off in different directions. Any suggestions for something that fits the theme of endings/new beginnings that would be appropriate for the occasion?
(My initial thought is Attention All Pickpockets)

2024.05.08 20:48 pdlbean Torn between two schools
Hi, I'm a parent to a 3 year old boy. Right now he is enrolled in a parent participation play based preschool that we love. Unfortunately, they may have to close their doors after this school year so we have been looking for an alternative. We have narrowed it down to two.
The first school is on the campus of a junior college. It is where ECE students get their practicum hours, supervised by two ECE professionals. It is free flow play with inside and outside time. It has different tactile and imaginative play areas as well as access to art supplies. They do snack time and group time (music and movement plus storytime). They have access to the agriculture department of the school as well as the campus library and campus museum about the local area. There is a semester-long art project the kids contribute to. It is 3 hours a day twice a week. This school is the most similar to the one we currently attend.
The second school has a bit more structure. 1:12 ratio. 4 hours a day twice a week. In this four hours the kids have 1 hour and 15 minutes of outside time, 1 hour of free play inside (including dramatic play stations, art projects, and play and art related to the theme of the week), 15 minutes music and movement, 15 minutes focus on a letter and shape of the day, 15 minutes storytime, and 15 minutes writing practice (not in this exact order). It includes a 30 minute lunch and 15 minute snack. We liked the different theme weeks of community helpers, dinosaurs, and cooking. We also liked that it has a HUGE play yard with two big toys and many smaller activities.
My husband and I are torn. We would appreciate any thoughts.

2024.05.08 15:46 SunshineandTacos276 Feel like I'm failing..
I'm a SAHM to a 3 year old boy and he is DEEP in his threenage feels. Everything is wrong and he has to do things himself but also never wants me out of his sight but "mom get away from me," etc. I also have a 7 year old daughter (in school) and she went through this as well so like I know I've gotten through it but man, it's tough. I feel like there is no rhyme or reason to our days anymore. I attempt to wake up before the kids to have some "me time" but it's about 50-50 whether the kids wake up before me or not (regardless of how early I try to get up). Before school is just chill time, eat and get dressed then once we drop my daughter off at school I feel overwhelmed with the day. Everything seems to agitate me. I feel restless but also exhausted. I used to plan activities, crafts, etc. I'd make sure to set time aside for reading and puzzles. We'd get outside when we could. Lately I just don't want to do any of it. Even if I give all my effort all day, he inevitably is angry and screaming and I know I'm supposed to be his calm but man if he hasn't been pushing every single button. My parents actually just took him to their house for a week to give me a break (they live in the same state but a few hours away). It was his first time away from me ever and I should have felt nervous or something but I felt relieved. And then guilty for feeling that way. The kicker is I have a degree in child development and background in Early Ed. I was a preschool teacher for years then transitioned to SAHP with my daughter shortly before COVID and loved it so never went back to teaching. But like, I have the background to know I should be doing more to help him emotionally and academically. I used to love planning special theme days. I just don't enjoy any of it. Even going for a walk around my neighborhood feels overwhelming. I can't just be in the moment with him I'm constantly overthinking and correcting completely age-appropriate behavior. I want our days to be more structured, but lack the motivation to do anything. I want to enjoy being a mom but mostly just feel resentful. I feel stuck. If you made it through this entire post, thanks for reading. Not sure what I'm even looking for, just needed to vent I guess.

Help! I work at a childcare and preschool, we have 5 classrooms with ages as follows: Infants, ones, older ones and younger twos, twos, and three/four year olds. We want to rename our classrooms to have cute potentially Montana related names and I suck at coming up with this sort of thing! Anyone have any ideas for cute nature, animal, etc. themed names for our rooms?

2024.05.06 16:12 wenlee01 10 Edible Thanksgiving Food Crafts for Kids
Making food together is an amazing way to bond with your kids and family members. There's something special about working together to create something that's then shared by everyone involved. And food made around the holidays has even more special, memory-making potential. This fall, spend time with your young ones by making any of these 10 edible Thanksgiving food crafts.
Fall-Flavored Fun
Thanksgiving may be the fall holiday where food is most celebrated but the entire harvest season presents unique opportunities to make food with your little ones.
Halloween Candy Bark (by Just A Taste) – Have a bunch of leftover Halloween candy that you don't know what to do with? Take 10 minutes to make a giant sheet of candy bark that you can nibble on as a family or share with friends.
Candy Corn Fruit Cocktail (by Family Fresh Meals) – Use a quintessential fall candy to lure your kids into eating their daily serving of fruit. With just a few candy corn on top, this 5-minute fruit bowl can be adjusted to include ant kind of fruit you think works best for your family.
Caramel Apple Slices (by On My Kid’s Plate) – A less-awkward take on a fall favorite. Instead of a giant apple the size of your child's head, have fun decorating and customizing easy-to-munch apple slices.
Thanksgiving-Themed Snacks
Thanksgiving is the perfect time for fun food crafts. So grab your kiddos, jump into the kitchen, and make some edible Thanksgiving food crafts that your kids — and your dinner guests! — will never forget.
Pilgrim Hats (by Taste of Home) – Make a batch of cute edible "hats" that will keep people coming back for more. Don't let the prep time in the recipe scare you. That shrinks when you have more people helping!
Thanksgiving Rice Krispies Turkey Legs (by Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons) – These silly turkey leg lookalikes make for a great weekend of after-school snack. You as mom or dad may need to make the "bone," but your kids will get a kick out of forming the leg out of the Rice Krispies mixture.
Turkey Pretzels (by Welcome to the Mouse House) – These pop-able pretzel snacks are a great assembly line treat that really display the personalities of the people who made them. From your tiny 2-year-old all the way up to grandma and grandpa, have fun constructing (and eating!) your turkey creations.
Reese’s Turkeys (by Mom on Timeout) – This is similar to the Turkey Pretzel recipe but uses Reece’s Cups instead. It’s another great food craft to use up some of the leftover Halloween candy that may be floating around your house.
Thanksgiving Day Goodies
Celebrate Thanksgiving day with your preschoolers by finding time to make food that’s perfect for them.
Turkey Pancakes (by Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons) – Start the day off with a breakfast made for Thanksgiving. Some of the steps in this recipe may be a little advanced for younger kids, so work together to find ways they can contribute.
Fruit Turkey Fondue (by Clean & Sensible) – Make the kids table a blast with this great fruit and chocolate dessert. Include your kids by having them decide what the turkey “feathers” are and how they’re organized and displayed.
Turkey Pudding Cups (by Crystal & Comp) – Pie may not be everyone’s piece of cake, but who doesn’t like pudding? Make these fun turkey-themed pudding cups after Thanksgiving dinner and watch all of the kids in attendance light up with excitement.
The holidays can become stressful when the focus shifts from being together to throwing a party. Take a breath, slow down, and make some tasty (and probably messy) memories with the children in your life. If you take the time to truly have fun and and enjoy the time with your kids, these activities have the potential to be memories they keep for their entire lives.

hey, so they have these super pretty tutu dresses at the store in the kid's section and checking measurements i believe they'd fit which is exciting for me! i reallyreally want to get one but i'm a minor so while i'm not concerned about getting it, i don't want to get it and then never actually wear it because i'm too scared. so what's a reason i could need to get something like that? right now the main idea i have is it's for a costume, like halloween, only it's really early to be thinking about halloween.
-i've bought clothes from the kid's section before which my family has been okay with and even done for me on a few occasions, but it's mainly been more like cute tshirts. -i'm definitely childish but my family doesn't specifically know i regress. i do have autism though. - i'm not specifically sure how family would react. my mom didn't have the best reaction to my paci but it was a baby one and i think she was more worried about my teeth than anything. i use pull-ups for my period, and it is absolutely true that it's just easier for me so she agrees to it. if i can only use them once a month to be allowed to have them then that's okay with me. they're okay with me watching cartoons, but i'm not really into baby or preschool shows and phineas and ferb or gravity falls aren't really that weird to watch at 15 anyway. so i don't actually know.
there is a community center i go to in summer that sometimes has themed dress-up days that maybe i could say it's for, and then just wear it because now i have it? but they might check and also i don't know what the themes will be yet.

I’ll start this with a huge apology. It was never my intention to take so long on my break or to post a thank you for all the amazing mail you’ve been sending. A few months were super… not stellar, and I just kind of wanted to hide under a rock so I wouldn’t bother anyone until I could feel a bit more like myself, and with all of that, you guys have just been the sweetest. I got so many sweet messages checking in and felt so loved despite the fact that it’s taken me half a year to get back on here. Thanks for all your patience with me. You guys are the absolute greatest! <3
An additional thanks to u/pinkpengin for sending a card basically inviting me to come back to the cool kid’s table to play this week! :D
Allsssooo also, I wrote half of these in January if any of them are odd, and I’ve also not detailed the cards that have been sent to family members as I didn’t read them myself, just added them on my count here, and sorry if the formatting is a bit wonky. I'm copying this from a document, so I might edit if it's terrible.
To start, I received a fun Meet-Up card from some now irl friends on here! Thank you guys! I really wish I could have made it to this one:

u/babyraspberry (x6), You sent such happy mail with your world postcard day envelope! I love the picture of a beach in Portugal. It makes me want to take a vacay ASAP! I also loved the fun little fact you put about the Peach Springs, AZ USPS! So cool! You also included cute star cut-outs, a little packet of stickers, and washi on what looks like a fun space cat playing card! I’m seriously giddy to get to the pic!
Thank you so much for the sweet hot cocoa and New Year’s card you sent! You also included a pretty saguaro cactus card and lovely pastry scrapbook paper, because you’re so thoughtful like that! I love how pretty every single envelope and card is that you send! I’m also excited to hear that you’re getting settled into the new(er) place a bit more! I hope you had a great time with the family visits!
Oh, my goodness, the wintery cards you sent my way were just stunning! I really liked hearing about your walk on the frozen lake and what an adorable “Cake of Friendship” recipe! The stamp stickers are always just the perfect colotheme, too! It always gives me heart eyes!
u/bluedecemberart (x5), Your Halloween card was adorable! You made it even cuter with the stickers. You mentioned “catching up on mail someday”........... Lol! You sent me about 50 cards to my…. ahem… completely non-existent ones. You’re a treasure, friend!
Thank you so much for my massive care packet of cards in an envelope that was just the cutest, with cats and Totoro stickers! It was beautiful! Every single bit in the envelope was so thoughtful!
You sent a “You’ve Got Mail” postcard, which reminds me… I should rewatch that movie someday so u/comingtogetyoubabs can stop laughing at the fact that I mix up all the Meg Ryan/Billy Crystal movies. I can’t be the only one… or maybe I am?!
You also sent the cutest envelope and added little address cardstock labels to add some zest to my envelopes along with so many cute stickers of cats, dogs, and squirrels! So sweet! I really loved the “Support Your Local Librarians” sticker! We are so lucky to live close to a very nice library with super active librarians who really care about the community, and it breaks my heart that they’re being given extra nonsense to add to their worries right now. :(
I especially love the card that has “You can do anything! Just not Everything” on the front. What a perfect reminder. You are so caring and thoughtful, and I’m so thankful for you!
u/comingtogetyoubabs (x5) How do you always find the perfect cards and things to say?! I love the whole envelope filled with citrus-themed cards, stickers, washi, all of it! Your puns were cracking me up! You even made the address label with little lemons! Super cute!
Then you also sent cards that were bee-related and stickers galore! I’m pretty sure that’s the first cat bee return label I saw in-person! They are adorable!
You sent a fun fall card with such pretty watercolor animals on it! The little hedgie sticker matches perfectly! It’s giving me heart eyes! Thank you, m’dear!
u/constructionlower549 (x7) Ugh, your holiday postcards are always so cute! I love the pic with you and the pupper (both smiling) on the front! It’s seriously so sweet and happy! I also loved the sweet card you sent with the New Year’s plans/updates. It’s seriously been entirely too long since I’ve sent an update! I definitely agree… Christmas is a bit overwhelming for me every year, tbh. I always look forward to the New Year knowing that we’ve made it through another hectic season of cooking/visits/everything! XD I always feel like I drop so many balls and last year was one of the biggest times I’ve done that. I didn’t even send holiday cards last year. :/
What a cool Starbucks postcard! I had no idea they even had postcards, but I love the gold and white on this one! The sparkly purple pen you used on it is just chef’s kiss perfection! Thank you!
I loved hearing about your bday trip! It sounds like such a fun adventure! I know you mentioned you did a lot of HUGE things, but I saw, “hung out by the pool,” and for some reason that part was the bit that I was like, “WHOA! WHAT?! IN FEB?! …living her best life by going somewhere beautiful!” XD
Then I got the most cards (I really, really love the hydrangea ones) with backstories from some of the postcards you sent! <3 I loved hearing about your dog-sitting adventure! Ugh, I need to send you a recipe for ice cream when you’re there next time! It’s blueberry pie-flavored, and it’s basically the only one I make in the summers, though I haven’t made it for a few summers now. I was laughing at the “behind-the-scenes” stories from your trips! It’s so funny catching up with people from school, especially when they’ve become parents! It almost feels like a secret club sometimes, knowing things about them but only discussing it in front of kids basically in code language! XD Oh! You asked at the end… I think the postcard lady would definitely be the highest contender for my demise! Lol! I’d totally take an entire litter of rabid cats over her! :D
u/cswl (x6), Thank you for the lovely Halloween card with the glittery witch skirt and the little cat on a walk! So cute! Our cat actually loves taking walks on his harness, but it’s been too cold to go out with him recently, and our old sweet old man of a dog thinks it’s a bit of a pain to go out on big walks now too. Can’t wait for spring! (I wrote this part of your thank-you in January! Spring has been nice indeed!)
The school supply postcard is so cute! I love LouPaper designs and the little rounded edges! The bright rainbow colors on it is just so happy! <3
Such a great “M” card made out of mustaches, too! Very cool design!
What a cool Veteran’s Day card you sent my way! I haven’t seen very many for the holiday, so it was super fun to get one! Thank you!
I also liked your secret “Walt Whitman” card. I have been wondering how work has been going for you. I have done some “extra” work tidying myself at old jobs when I’ve been feeling less than good about them myself.
It was also fun hearing about the 2 festivals in one weekend… was super happy you didn’t have to cook that weekend! That’s kind of a mini-vacation in itself!
u/DoraDoodle (x4), You sent such a pretty Halloween card as well as such adorable cats in costume stickers! They were so sweet! You even finished off the card with a tiny skull and crossbones stamp on the back. Your attention to detail makes everything so perfect! I always love seeing how you perfectly coordinate the papers to make such nice designs!
We all loved your gorgeous handmade Christmas card! It was displayed with the ones we received from family! I definitely missed out on the fun and didn’t send a single holiday card last year. :(
Oh, my goodness, I loved getting your beautiful watercolor card from your trip. That is actually one of our family’s bucket list places! Were you able to catch the Northern Lights while there? I hope you were treated with a lovely view!
u/ez330 (x4), I loved the colorful tulip card you sent and hearing about what had been happening with you. Thank you for checking in with me! You also included such sweet stickers, one of a corgi cupcake that I absolutely adore! Our dog is red with the cute Dorito ears like a corgi, so I’m a little partial to those types of breeds because of him! <3
Oh, my goodness, how was your trip to the National Postal Museum?! My grandma was a retired postmaster, and I think she would’ve loved traveling there! I hope you had the best time!
I loved getting your sweet flower heart postcard too! Thank you so much for caring and sending notes my way. You’re so thoughtful!
What a gorgeous handmade Valentine’s Day card! The light aqua blue with red were actually my wedding colors, so every time I see them together, it just makes me smile! Thank you for thinking of me! It made my day!
u/isar-love, I loved your dragonfly postcard! I love learning differences in language and I really think “dragonfly” is much prettier in yours! My son has a book about bugs from close-up views, and the dragonfly picture is on the cover! I always thought that photograph was especially pretty! He’s terrified of bugs now, unfortunately, but every time I see a dragonfly now, I think of when he first asked if they were actual dragons as a preschooler, and I thought it was just so cute!
u/Jdoodle7 (x4) Thank you so much for sending such sweet cards my way to check on me! My birthday card was just so pretty, and I really like how you did the washi on a diagonal. It really set off the envelope! You even have birthday return address labels, and I just absolutely adore them!
I have out another card you sent recently, the one mentioning Monty Python! Oh, my word! I am so excited to meet someone who gets my references now! :D Poor E, I had to introduce him to it years ago when he mentioned he’d never seen it (can you believe it?!), but now he grudgingly chuckles or rolls his eyes when I quote it in passing!
u/jvanct88, Thank you so much for the super pretty I’m thinking of you card with a holo cat silhouette! I loved getting the life updates! Just so you know, I can’t use the tea you sent because the little packets are so cute! Oh, they’re in with my tea, yes, but only for showing off the cute designs on display! :) Thank you! <3
u/korewrites (x2), thank you for the postcards you’ve been sending my way! I liked hearing about your travels to visit friends. The place you went in January sounds particularly exciting! I hope you had the best time catching up with them!
u/libertyprogrammer, thank you for the lovely card with the super fun stamps on them! What a good idea to send it before the price increased (again), too! The stickers match the pretty dusty rose color of the envelope and I love how you made the card inside with such cute Snoopy washi! It is so good hearing from you! Oh, I might have mentioned in the last post, but I have finished all of your book recs, and I was absolutely blown away by one series in particular! Kind of bouncing up and down over the fact that a certain author has new author pics!!! Did you see?! I know everyone online is saying not to get our hopes up, so OF COURSE MY HOPES ARE SKY HIGH that we get a new book ASAP! :D I can’t believe there are some people who have been waiting for decades when I’ve only been excited for a few months!
u/LeeElla, thank you for the sweet card with the cherry blossoms and cute washi and stickers! I loved getting to hear about your travels. I feel like my family and I will start doing a small bit more of that this year finally, and I love hearing where others have been!
Also, your writing is lovely!
u/lonelytwatwaffle, I loved hearing about your beach trip! What a nice getaway! My family took trips there when I was little. I think it was maybe the first time I saw the ocean! It sounded like such a nice, relaxing time! I hope you had a blast!
u/mikepenpal6 (x5) I loved your purple Halloween card with the pumpkin and owl! What pretty scrapbook paper in the background, too! You always find the most festive and adorable carding supplies!
What a gorgeous handmade Christmas card! I love how glitzy it is with the little rhinestones and all the cute stickers and washi you used! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Ooh, I loved hearing about the concert you saw! That would’ve been so incredible! I’m super jealous and also really excited that you could go! I saw that one of my faves is going to be about 2 hours away from me very soon, so I went on the ticket site to buy them. E said that I definitely should, but I told him, “Meh, it’d be way past my bedtime.” lol I’m such an old lady now.
Your handmade Valentine’s Day card was absolutely stunning! I always love seeing the cute little gemstone stickers ppl use! I actually didn’t do a ton for this Valentine’s Day. I usually bake for our littles, make them a heart-shaped pizza for dinner, and cook something for E that he likes, but this year, our tiniest got covid (on my birthday! boo!), so we were all sick by Valentine’s Day, and we basically stayed at the house for the rest of the month to make sure we didn’t spread the joy to anyone else. Yuck! I really am glad you were able to do fun things and enjoy the weather with the family!
u/mlks00 (x2), Thank you so much for the sweet Christmas card you sent to the fam and me, especially with the handmade snowflake! How cool! I feel like I haven’t done those in too long. Have you seen the ones you can print online with Star Wars characters snuck into the designs?! They look so cute!
I always love getting your check-ins and updates! I really like this “hello” card stationery too! How classy! I hope you’re doing well, friend!
u/monetmonkey- Oh, what an adorable avocado holiday card! Thank you! Not only that, but you included such cute stickers with a sweet fox and snowy day scene! I loved all of it as well as how you decorated the inside of the card with the diagonal washi. Such a cool effect!
Of course I loved the fun stamps, especially the Maine Coon one! Our kitkat isn’t quite as massive as that, but he’s close, at over 7.5 kg/17ish lbs!
Loved the way you addressed the envelope vertically, too! It really made it stand out!
u/mydinosaurdidit (x8) You sent such happy mail to me last FALL (it’s been way too long since I’ve been here), and it was just so touching that you thought of me for it. It’s beautiful, thoughtful, and I was so taken aback at your generosity! Know that I have it set out for my next project now! I’ve been waiting to make something with it for the summer, and I’m so excited! I’ll send pics when I get it finished! I’ve had a pattern I’ve been wanting to make, but I’ve not had the right materials…until now, and the fact that it’s sentimental is just the cherry on top!
Oh, you gave me ideas for my bullet journal by sending me a sample-type page, and I really like how you have it set up! I’ve been book journaling a bit more lately and still use a bullet journal for my busier months, but I’ve been converting most of the dates to a wall calendar and still using a bullet-style on there for the tasks. It’s so helpful!
What a pretty holiday card you sent with tea and everything! I loved the adorable little paper stars to match the color of the font, and the message made me laugh!
I got the sweetest check-in card from you, typed and everything. It made me a bit teary-eyed. You even included journaling pages and stickers. You are so thoughtful, friend. A few months there were super not super, and I just kind of wanted to hide, and there you were telling me it was okay to just exist. You’re an absolute treasure. <3
Then you sent a kitty postcard with “You’re alive!” on it, and I burst out into laughter! It made me think of Schrödinger's cat, and it just made me ridiculously happy on top of it just being so freakin’ adorable! Thank you, friend!
Such a cool state card you sent! I like the ones with the different flowers/flags/birds on them to see how many I remember from my fourth grade class! :D We visited our state capitol building (where I lived growing up) during school, and the only part I remember was being so nervous that I’d be too loud walking around the halls with the echo-y marble floors… and then I suddenly stopped fretting over that when I realized how slippery the stone made the stairs and imagined falling down them making way more noise than walking funny ever would. XD I was a nervous child… glad I’m not anymore….ummm :D
Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes as well! You handmade a gorgeous pop-up card with a rainbow quilt, and it just blew me away!
The second (!) kitty postcard you made with all the rainbow writing/washi/stickers was just so happy! It made me smile!
u/onelittlericeball (x4), thank you so much for the gorgeous cards you send! I always love seeing your handwriting and the pretty washi/sticker combos you use!
I really liked getting updates on things that have been going on with you lately. It's so nice hearing from you, and I have your latest in my "reply ASAP" stack now!
u/pinkpengin (x7) The fam loved our cute black cat purpley Halloween card! The Halloween donut washi you have is top notch!
Your Jane Goodall Institute card is so cool! She’s one of my heroes (as are you, of course)! I actually bought this little amigurumi book where you could make little feminist icons, mostly because one of the characters is her! I digress… Okay, so as of that card, you had 22 kitters… have there been any more foster fails since then (bc I can absolutely say I’d be such an enabler about that! I nearly got another one myself last month)?
Oh, what a cute little fox riding a bike! I think these notecards are just adorable! You absolutely did not need to write a thank-you, but of course you’re just super sweet and thoughtful like that, and it made me smile! :)
Your sweet holiday card was displayed with the family cards we received this year, and it was so cute! Thank you! We all really enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll get my act together by winter and send some myself this year?! Here’s to hoping!
You also sent such a sweet Valentine with two additional mini cards inside! You are so thoughtful. The envelope was so pretty with how you decorated it! I think Valentine’s Day might be my favorite holiday… I don’t really do anything to celebrate other than baking, but I think that’s maybe why I like it! It’s low stakes! :D
You also sent an extra special holiday card VERY recently… but I’ll be commenting on that one elsewhere. ;)
u/TigerLady13 (x4), I really loved the Christmas card you sent! The stamps were so cute on the envelope, and the Santa in the woods feeding apples to the horses were so just so pretty! Thank you so much!
You have been sending such sweet cards my way! Thank you! My birthday cards were so super sweet. Both were decked out with the cutest washi and stickers galore! You are so very thoughtful! I really like the envelopes! They both had ribbon streamers on the insides of them! How festive!
u/travel4me22, thank you for the fun Blue Ridge Parkway postcard saying hello and checking in! That was so thoughtful! I hope your year has been great so far!
u/umeshufan (x14!) Your pop-up llama card (so cute!) along with an additional note was so cute to get! I really liked the signatures that you and a family member added to it! It was from 15 Nov, so I had the biggest smile reading about a recent event that happened there! <3
The Christmas card you sent made me laugh! I’ve seen shirts with that sentiment on motorcycle drivers, and to see it on the back of a reindeer was just the absolute best! XD You find the most hilarious cards! I definitely need to up my card game!
Thank you so much for the beautiful cards from all your travels over the past 6 months as well as sending notes to other family members! You have been to so many places already this year, and it’s always fun getting to live vicariously through your descriptions of each place!
The NZ sheep postcard is adorable with the little sheep, and I loved hearing about each stop along the way. The “Where’s Wally/Waldo?” one is extra cool! Thank you for sharing it with us! You’re always so thoughtful!
Oh! One of the cards you sent from NZ had another person added to the card, and I don’t know if I’m mentioned, but I think their handwriting is just beautiful! I especially like their A’s! That was so sweet hearing from them as well!
During one of your trips, you were in the same time zone as I was, and I was so excited to get FOUR cards from there! It was so fun getting cards that arrived so very quickly! I always love seeing The Snooty Bookshop cards! They’re hilarious!
You also sent 6 cards just last month, completely putting me to shame! I have them out for a reply just as soon as I pick up some different cards from the store. I think part of my extra long hiatus has made me not want to dig out the perfectly fine old cards I had but start fresh… capitalism at its finest, I suppose… :/
Thank you for sending so many cards to the family over the past half year as well. Your cards always brighten our day! You’ll be getting some replies from E soon, too. He’s not been on RAoC recently either, so I’m adding some of his on my post for him.

It almost feels like a secret club sometimes, knowing things about them but only discussing it in front of kids basically in code language! XD Oh! You asked at the end… I think the postcard lady would definitely be the highest contender for my demise! Lol! I’d totally take an entire litter of rabid cats over her! :D
u/cswl (x6), Thank you for the lovely Halloween card with the glittery witch skirt and the little cat on a walk! So cute! Our cat actually loves taking walks on his harness, but it’s been too cold to go out with him recently, and our old sweet old man of a dog thinks it’s a bit of a pain to go out on big walks now too. Can’t wait for spring! (I wrote this part of your thank-you in January! Spring has been nice indeed!)
The school supply postcard is so cute! I love LouPaper designs and the little rounded edges! The bright rainbow colors on it is just so happy! <3
Such a great “M” card made out of mustaches, too! Very cool design!
What a cool Veteran’s Day card you sent my way! I haven’t seen very many for the holiday, so it was super fun to get one! Thank you!
I also liked your secret “Walt Whitman” card. I have been wondering how work has been going for you. I have done some “extra” work tidying myself at old jobs when I’ve been feeling less than good about them myself.
It was also fun hearing about the 2 festivals in one weekend… was super happy you didn’t have to cook that weekend! That’s kind of a mini-vacation in itself!
u/DoraDoodle (x4), You sent such a pretty Halloween card as well as such adorable cats in costume stickers! They were so sweet! You even finished off the card with a tiny skull and crossbones stamp on the back. Your attention to detail makes everything so perfect! I always love seeing how you perfectly coordinate the papers to make such nice designs!
We all loved your gorgeous handmade Christmas card! It was displayed with the ones we received from family! I definitely missed out on the fun and didn’t send a single holiday card last year. :(
Oh, my goodness, I loved getting your beautiful watercolor card from your trip. That is actually one of our family’s bucket list places! Were you able to catch the Northern Lights while there? I hope you were treated with a lovely view!
u/ez330 (x4), I loved the colorful tulip card you sent and hearing about what had been happening with you. Thank you for checking in with me! You also included such sweet stickers, one of a corgi cupcake that I absolutely adore! Our dog is red with the cute Dorito ears like a corgi, so I’m a little partial to those types of breeds because of him! <3
Oh, my goodness, how was your trip to the National Postal Museum?! My grandma was a retired postmaster, and I think she would’ve loved traveling there! I hope you had the best time!
I loved getting your sweet flower heart postcard too! Thank you so much for caring and sending notes my way. You’re so thoughtful!
What a gorgeous handmade Valentine’s Day card! The light aqua blue with red were actually my wedding colors, so every time I see them together, it just makes me smile! Thank you for thinking of me! It made my day!
u/isar-love, I loved your dragonfly postcard! I love learning differences in language and I really think “dragonfly” is much prettier in yours! My son has a book about bugs from close-up views, and the dragonfly picture is on the cover! I always thought that photograph was especially pretty! He’s terrified of bugs now, unfortunately, but every time I see a dragonfly now, I think of when he first asked if they were actual dragons as a preschooler, and I thought it was just so cute!
u/Jdoodle7 (x4) Thank you so much for sending such sweet cards my way to check on me! My birthday card was just so pretty, and I really like how you did the washi on a diagonal. It really set off the envelope! You even have birthday return address labels, and I just absolutely adore them!
I have out another card you sent recently, the one mentioning Monty Python! Oh, my word! I am so excited to meet someone who gets my references now! :D Poor E, I had to introduce him to it years ago when he mentioned he’d never seen it (can you believe it?!), but now he grudgingly chuckles or rolls his eyes when I quote it in passing!
u/jvanct88, Thank you so much for the super pretty I’m thinking of you card with a holo cat silhouette! I loved getting the life updates! Just so you know, I can’t use the tea you sent because the little packets are so cute! Oh, they’re in with my tea, yes, but only for showing off the cute designs on display! :) Thank you! <3
u/korewrites (x2), thank you for the postcards you’ve been sending my way! I liked hearing about your travels to visit friends. The place you went in January sounds particularly exciting! I hope you had the best time catching up with them!
u/libertyprogrammer, thank you for the lovely card with the super fun stamps on them! What a good idea to send it before the price increased (again), too! The stickers match the pretty dusty rose color of the envelope and I love how you made the card inside with such cute Snoopy washi! It is so good hearing from you! Oh, I might have mentioned in the last post, but I have finished all of your book recs, and I was absolutely blown away by one series in particular! Kind of bouncing up and down over the fact that a certain author has new author pics!!! Did you see?! I know everyone online is saying not to get our hopes up, so OF COURSE MY HOPES ARE SKY HIGH that we get a new book ASAP! :D I can’t believe there are some people who have been waiting for decades when I’ve only been excited for a few months!
u/LeeElla, thank you for the sweet card with the cherry blossoms and cute washi and stickers! I loved getting to hear about your travels. I feel like my family and I will start doing a small bit more of that this year finally, and I love hearing where others have been!
Also, your writing is lovely!
u/lonelytwatwaffle, I loved hearing about your beach trip! What a nice getaway! My family took trips there when I was little. I think it was maybe the first time I saw the ocean! It sounded like such a nice, relaxing time! I hope you had a blast!
u/mikepenpal6 (x5) I loved your purple Halloween card with the pumpkin and owl! What pretty scrapbook paper in the background, too! You always find the most festive and adorable carding supplies!
What a gorgeous handmade Christmas card! I love how glitzy it is with the little rhinestones and all the cute stickers and washi you used! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Ooh, I loved hearing about the concert you saw! That would’ve been so incredible! I’m super jealous and also really excited that you could go! I saw that one of my faves is going to be about 2 hours away from me very soon, so I went on the ticket site to buy them. E said that I definitely should, but I told him, “Meh, it’d be way past my bedtime.” lol I’m such an old lady now.
Your handmade Valentine’s Day card was absolutely stunning! I always love seeing the cute little gemstone stickers ppl use! I actually didn’t do a ton for this Valentine’s Day. I usually bake for our littles, make them a heart-shaped pizza for dinner, and cook something for E that he likes, but this year, our tiniest got covid (on my birthday! boo!), so we were all sick by Valentine’s Day, and we basically stayed at the house for the rest of the month to make sure we didn’t spread the joy to anyone else. Yuck! I really am glad you were able to do fun things and enjoy the weather with the family!
u/mlks00 (x2), Thank you so much for the sweet Christmas card you sent to the fam and me, especially with the handmade snowflake! How cool! I feel like I haven’t done those in too long. Have you seen the ones you can print online with Star Wars characters snuck into the designs?! They look so cute!
I always love getting your check-ins and updates! I really like this “hello” card stationery too! How classy! I hope you’re doing well, friend!
u/monetmonkey- Oh, what an adorable avocado holiday card! Thank you! Not only that, but you included such cute stickers with a sweet fox and snowy day scene! I loved all of it as well as how you decorated the inside of the card with the diagonal washi. Such a cool effect!
Of course I loved the fun stamps, especially the Maine Coon one! Our kitkat isn’t quite as massive as that, but he’s close, at over 7.5 kg/17ish lbs!
Loved the way you addressed the envelope vertically, too! It really made it stand out!
u/mydinosaurdidit (x8) You sent such happy mail to me last FALL (it’s been way too long since I’ve been here), and it was just so touching that you thought of me for it. It’s beautiful, thoughtful, and I was so taken aback at your generosity! Know that I have it set out for my next project now! I’ve been waiting to make something with it for the summer, and I’m so excited! I’ll send pics when I get it finished! I’ve had a pattern I’ve been wanting to make, but I’ve not had the right materials…until now, and the fact that it’s sentimental is just the cherry on top!
Oh, you gave me ideas for my bullet journal by sending me a sample-type page, and I really like how you have it set up! I’ve been book journaling a bit more lately and still use a bullet journal for my busier months, but I’ve been converting most of the dates to a wall calendar and still using a bullet-style on there for the tasks. It’s so helpful!
What a pretty holiday card you sent with tea and everything! I loved the adorable little paper stars to match the color of the font, and the message made me laugh!
I got the sweetest check-in card from you, typed and everything. It made me a bit teary-eyed. You even included journaling pages and stickers. You are so thoughtful, friend. A few months there were super not super, and I just kind of wanted to hide, and there you were telling me it was okay to just exist. You’re an absolute treasure. <3
Then you sent a kitty postcard with “You’re alive!” on it, and I burst out into laughter! It made me think of Schrödinger's cat, and it just made me ridiculously happy on top of it just being so freakin’ adorable! Thank you, friend!
Such a cool state card you sent! I like the ones with the different flowers/flags/birds on them to see how many I remember from my fourth grade class! :D We visited our state capitol building (where I lived growing up) during school, and the only part I remember was being so nervous that I’d be too loud walking around the halls with the echo-y marble floors… and then I suddenly stopped fretting over that when I realized how slippery the stone made the stairs and imagined falling down them making way more noise than walking funny ever would. XD I was a nervous child… glad I’m not anymore….ummm :D
Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes as well! You handmade a gorgeous pop-up card with a rainbow quilt, and it just blew me away!
The second (!) kitty postcard you made with all the rainbow writing/washi/stickers was just so happy! It made me smile!
u/onelittlericeball (x4), thank you so much for the gorgeous cards you send! I always love seeing your handwriting and the pretty washi/sticker combos you use!
I really liked getting updates on things that have been going on with you lately. It's so nice hearing from you, and I have your latest in my "reply ASAP" stack now!
u/pinkpengin (x7) The fam loved our cute black cat purpley Halloween card! The Halloween donut washi you have is top notch!
Your Jane Goodall Institute card is so cool! She’s one of my heroes (as are you, of course)! I actually bought this little amigurumi book where you could make little feminist icons, mostly because one of the characters is her! I digress… Okay, so as of that card, you had 22 kitters… have there been any more foster fails since then (bc I can absolutely say I’d be such an enabler about that! I nearly got another one myself last month)?
Oh, what a cute little fox riding a bike! I think these notecards are just adorable! You absolutely did not need to write a thank-you, but of course you’re just super sweet and thoughtful like that, and it made me smile! :)
Your sweet holiday card was displayed with the family cards we received this year, and it was so cute! Thank you! We all really enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll get my act together by winter and send some myself this year?! Here’s to hoping!
You also sent such a sweet Valentine with two additional mini cards inside! You are so thoughtful. The envelope was so pretty with how you decorated it! I think Valentine’s Day might be my favorite holiday… I don’t really do anything to celebrate other than baking, but I think that’s maybe why I like it! It’s low stakes! :D
You also sent an extra special holiday card VERY recently… but I’ll be commenting on that one elsewhere. ;)
u/TigerLady13 (x4), I really loved the Christmas card you sent! The stamps were so cute on the envelope, and the Santa in the woods feeding apples to the horses were so just so pretty! Thank you so much!
You have been sending such sweet cards my way! Thank you! My birthday cards were so super sweet. Both were decked out with the cutest washi and stickers galore! You are so very thoughtful! I really like the envelopes! They both had ribbon streamers on the insides of them! How festive!
u/travel4me22, thank you for the fun Blue Ridge Parkway postcard saying hello and checking in! That was so thoughtful! I hope your year has been great so far!
u/umeshufan (x14!) Your pop-up llama card (so cute!) along with an additional note was so cute to get! I really liked the signatures that you and a family member added to it! It was from 15 Nov, so I had the biggest smile reading about a recent event that happened there! <3
The Christmas card you sent made me laugh! I’ve seen shirts with that sentiment on motorcycle drivers, and to see it on the back of a reindeer was just the absolute best! XD You find the most hilarious cards! I definitely need to up my card game!
Thank you so much for the beautiful cards from all your travels over the past 6 months as well as sending notes to other family members! You have been to so many places already this year, and it’s always fun getting to live vicariously through your descriptions of each place!
The NZ sheep postcard is adorable with the little sheep, and I loved hearing about each stop along the way. The “Where’s Wally/Waldo?” one is extra cool! Thank you for sharing it with us! You’re always so thoughtful!
Oh! One of the cards you sent from NZ had another person added to the card, and I don’t know if I’m mentioned, but I think their handwriting is just beautiful! I especially like their A’s! That was so sweet hearing from them as well!
During one of your trips, you were in the same time zone as I was, and I was so excited to get FOUR cards from there! It was so fun getting cards that arrived so very quickly! I always love seeing The Snooty Bookshop cards! They’re hilarious!
You also sent 6 cards just last month, completely putting me to shame! I have them out for a reply just as soon as I pick up some different cards from the store. I think part of my extra long hiatus has made me not want to dig out the perfectly fine old cards I had but start fresh… capitalism at its finest, I suppose… :/
Thank you for sending so many cards to the family over the past half year as well. Your cards always brighten our day! You’ll be getting some replies from E soon, too. He’s not been on RAoC recently either, so I’m adding some of his on my post for him.
2024.05.05 08:04 gomnomnom Teacher Appreciation Week feedback
I have 2 kids that attend the same preschool (3 and 8 months) and my oldest only started attending when he was already 2 so he had a lead and an assistant in his class. For teacher appreciation last year, I got gifts for his teacher and TA and smaller gifts for the floaters that regularly helped his class. However, this year I'm kind of not sure how to approach the infant class and was hoping maybe hearing others' experiences could let me know if I wasn't doing enough or if I was doing the right amount.
Our school does a theme each day where some things are the school as a whole contributes and other days are just for your class. The infant class has 8 teachers. One of the leads is my daughter's primary caretaker and manages her schedule. She's going on maternity leave soon so there is another teacher that will be taking on that role once she leaves and regularly cares for my child if her teacher is coming in later. There's also a secondary backup in case her lead is out and then 5 other teachers that care for other babies. However, where I'm kind of lost is...all these teachers care for my baby! I want to thank all of them. I know her lead does most of it, but most of these ladies have held my sweet, sleep-hating child for nap in their arms. I want to acknowledge their hard work too without disregarding the primary teachers' heavy lifting. I have small gifts (flowers on one day, $10 gift cards on another) planned for these 5 wonderful ladies, but are gifts usually expected in this type of setup? (I guess I'm asking in preparation for the end of the school year too since last year we gifted cash to our teachers and floater and I'm wondering if I have to worry about 6 teachers (including my son's) or 11 teachers!)
I know it's hard work and I want everyone to feel appreciated, but at the same time don't want to make anyone feel like they're not getting enough credit so thanks for any advice or stories you can share! And thank you for taking care of all these children! It's a hard job that I certainly know I wouldn't survive so all of you are amazing!!

2024.05.04 08:47 hellopriyasharma Orange-colored objects for preschool activities that make learning fun
 | Color recognition is an essential developmental milestone for preschoolers, laying the foundation for various cognitive and creative skills. Among the vibrant spectrum of colors, orange stands out as an engaging hue that captivates young minds. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of orange color objects for preschool and present a myriad of fun and educational activities designed to enrich preschool education. submitted by hellopriyasharma to preschoolwithpriya [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/aj56n43cwcyc1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=177e4d5abe1515dd5c4af89ea85e2a0369538315 Understanding Color Recognition in Preschoolers:Preschoolers are naturally curious about their surroundings, and colors play a significant role in their early exploration. Recognizing colors is not only a cognitive skill but also a precursor to language development and artistic expression. As educators and parents, fostering color recognition in preschoolers is crucial for their holistic development.The Importance of Orange Color:Orange is a warm and inviting color that symbolizes energy, enthusiasm, and creativity. Introducing orange color objects for preschool can stimulate their imagination and enhance their understanding of color concepts. Moreover, the prevalence of orange in nature and everyday objects offers ample opportunities for hands-on learning experiences.Exploring Orange Color Objects:Orange Fruits:Oranges, tangerines, and apricots are delicious and nutritious orange fruits that appeal to preschoolers' senses. Incorporating these fruits into snack time or sensory activities can make learning about the color orange a delightful experience.Orange Toys:From toy cars to building blocks, orange-colored toys abound in preschool classrooms and playrooms. These toys not only encourage imaginative play but also reinforce color recognition skills as children interact with them.Art Supplies:Crayons, markers, and paint in various shades of orange empower preschoolers to express their creativity through art. Providing a diverse array of orange art supplies enables children to experiment with color mixing and create vibrant masterpieces.Fun Learning Activities with Orange Color Objects:Orange Color Hunt:Organize a scavenger hunt where children search for orange objects in their environment. Whether indoors or outdoors, this activity promotes observation skills and encourages children to actively engage with their surroundings.Orange Sorting:Set up sorting trays or baskets with a variety of orange objects, such as toy fruits, craft pom-poms, and felt shapes. Encourage children to sort the objects based on different attributes, such as size, shape, or texture.Orange Collage:Provide children with orange-colored materials, such as construction paper, fabric scraps, and foam stickers. Let them unleash their creativity as they collage and create artwork using exclusively orange items.Incorporating Technology for Enhanced Learning:Interactive Apps:Explore educational apps specifically designed to teach color recognition skills through interactive games and activities. These apps provide a fun and engaging way for preschoolers to practice identifying colors, including orange.Virtual Tours:Take advantage of virtual tours or videos that showcase orange-themed destinations, such as pumpkin patches or citrus groves. Through virtual experiences, preschoolers can learn about the natural world and its vibrant colors.Parental Involvement and Communication:Home Activities:Encourage parents to extend color learning beyond the classroom by incorporating orange-themed activities into their daily routines. Suggestions may include cooking orange-colored meals together or going on nature walks to spot orange flowers and leaves.Communication through Apps:Utilize a school parent app to share information, resources, and activity ideas with parents. Regular communication fosters collaboration between educators and parents, ensuring that color learning continues seamlessly between home and school.Conclusion:Early childhood instructors and parents may spark toddlers' curiosity and excitement for learning by embracing the charm of orange-colored things. Preschoolers can engage in meaningful and pleasant learning opportunities while developing fundamental color recognition abilities through a variety of activities and experiences. Let's go on this vibrant adventure together and encourage young minds to experience the power of orange! |
2024.05.04 06:26 Decent-Employer4589 Is it helpful if I check out random stuff?
My library has lots of non-book items that I am not interested in, and apparently no one else is interested in them either because I always see them available on the shelf. But does it help the “numbers” if I check them out? For example, the wall artwork and preschool Theme Kits (a box with books, small toys, and a CD all covering the same topic) never seem to leave and though I don’t need them, I would be happy to just take them home and then return in two weeks unused. But does it matter?

2024.05.03 22:02 urbanhomestead1 Feedback wanted on this agrihood masterplan.
I am brainstorming a subdivision development that could be used as an intentional agriculture theme community. See the final drawing for the full masterplan. Each home would have a small, private back yard, but a large shared space beyond it. A looping trail would connect all the homes, shaded by fruit trees, and encircle growing beds and picnic areas.
The central zone where the trails connect would be a Central Park, which could have a hill, a pond, an event space, a mountain/bmx bike zone, a small forest, etc.
At the other end of each row of houses would be a commercial building and the access road to the surrounding city. Ideally the commercial buildings would have a farm stand and market, bakery, restaurant, maybe a preschool etc.
I imagine there would be an entity that owns the commercial buildings and rents the space to residents (ideally) who want to run the businesses and rent would go towards an HOA.
The four corners of the lot would be larger lots for agriculture operations, such as compost, plant nursery, chickens, storage, aquaponics etc.
I am looking for feedback. How could this be improved? Would you and a some friends want to buy homes here, together and start a community?
Would you be more or less interested in this if it was in the Central Valley, California, 3 hours from a major city? Typical homes of this size sell there for around $400k.
