First Post...WELCOME!!!

Welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting. I am so happy to have finally put this page together. As this is my first blog it will be a bit of a work in progress, so please be patient.

The Sugar 'n The Spice...
This one is two-fold: I have a daughter and I like to cook (I especially love experimenting with spices... and sugar!). The recipes included on this blog have been little girl approved.

The Snails...
Though the rhyme is in reference to little boys (my little boy is still too little to exhibit any buggy inclinations), my daughter LOVES snails, bugs, and all things creepy-crawly. I will include stories, music, art, crafts, skill-building activities, science, seasonal activities and general classroom management ideas that will appeal to boys and girls alike.

The 'n Tales...
The rhyme refers to puppy dog "tails", but for our purposes the "tales" refers to all of the children's literature recommendations, music suggestions and activities that will be as much fun for children to explore as it will be for you, the parent/teacher, to share.

I hope that you will find the resources I post on this page helpful to use with your little ones in your classroom, daycare, preschool, or home. I used to spend hours looking for websites to help me with last minute lesson planning ideas... as a beginning teacher I didn't have the money to purchase educational books on every topic but loved anything with "free" for the price tag! Now that I am blessed enough to be able to stay at home with my wee ones this is my "pass it on" for all those teachers and mommys out there who need a one stop spot to find old and new ideas to teach and have fun with your little ones.

Please feel free to use any of the items I post on here... it is all free for you!!!
Check back frequently as I will be adding items regularly.
Enjoy!
