I survived Kinder Day 1... barely :)


My youngest started Kindergarten yesterday.

And because they start school at 3 years old here in Mexico, I am officially NOT okay about it.

So I'm very happy to have an excuse to sit down with a hot coffee and make you a freebie this morning, because I'm not quite ready to accept that my last baby is a big kid now. :'(

This month's freebie is a sweet Grandparents' Day activity for your little ones:

And just a quick reminder if you're planning ahead:

US Grandparents' Day: September 13, 2026
​UK Grandparents' Day: October 4, 2026
​Australia Grandparents' Day: October 25, 2026

So, you've got plenty of time to make something special!

You can use this:

  • At home
  • In your classroom
  • In your daycare

...as an easy little keepsake for grandparents. :)

I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. I also have something VERY exciting to share...

My 2027 Handprint Calendars are officially here!

I know it feels a little crazy to be thinking about 2027 already, but I wanted to give my VIPs the first chance to grab one before the holiday rush.

They're 25% off during the first week of September as a little thank you to everyone who likes to get an early start on Christmas gifts.

And honestly, I can't talk about the calendars without saying thank you.

The support you give my little Etsy shop has made such a huge difference for my family.

As a stay-at-home mom, I started this business because I needed a little extra income... but I also desperately needed a creative outlet. Somehow, it has grown into both.

Every calendar, printable, and little handprint craft you purchase helps make that possible, and I am so incredibly grateful.

Thank you for being here.

It means more than you know.
