DIY Puffy Paint Recipe: Mix equal parts shaving cream and white school glue. Add food coloring or paint! We used washable paint to make it easy to clean up. Let them paint on a pumpkin printable and add a cinnamon stick for a stem! Get all the senses going. My toddlers loved this small group activity.

APPLE WEEK 🍎 🍏 Toddler Edition

One of my favorite weeks of the school year in my preschool classroom - Apple week. There is so many activities and fun things to do to incorporate learning through play.

We hit a little delay, but we found a way. 🙌🏼

There have definitely been some unexpected pivots on this journey, but every time I start wondering how we’re going to make something work… somehow, we figure it out. 🙏🏼

Our plans will now be reviewed by the plumbing and electrical engineers as we work toward getting everything approved by the city. Looking down at these plans just made me think… WOW. I’m really doing it. 🥹

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 🤍

Trusting the process, embracing the pivots, and remembering that sometimes His plans are even better than ours. 🖤🌈

Gift of Play is really happening. ✨
Cape Coral, we’re coming for you. 🥹

This process has been a roller coaster.

Some days I feel so close I can almost see the doors opening... and others I wonder how one more thing can possibly be added to the list.

It's been stressful, exhausting and got me questioning myself a LOT. I've cried more than I'd like to admit. But I've also seen God provide in ways I never expected, over and over again.

So I keep coming back to this...

“If the highest place I reach is at Your feet, then I've done it all.“

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about opening a business. It's about being faithful with what God has put in my heart. If I stay faithful, trust His timing, and keep taking the next step, then that's ENOUGH.

The highs are AMAZING. The lows are DEFEATING. But neither one changes who God is. 🙏🏼

So I’ll keep praying. I’ll keep showing up. Trusting that He already knows how this story ends. 🖤

Dang it feels good to be gangsta. 😎

Just here building this playhouse brick by brick learning as I go. Trying to be strategic, above board to avoid issues before they come up.

That means things might not go a quickly as my energy wants but it will be done RIGHT avoiding costly delays and issues in the future! 🙌🏼

This one feels soooo good! I worked hard to make sure it was approved on the first go. After a couple questions/ clarifications with NO changes it’s SIGNED & SEALED!

This is just the FDACS plan review - not the official license yet. They don’t take that application til you’re 21 days away from opening. But this means as long as everything I showed in my plan is done our food establishment license is in the bag! 🥳🤩

Now to get through the city permits and processes without much issues and we are cooking with gas. But not actually cooking because that will take a different license and grease trap 🤪
