More Free Fonts: Day 2- Font Squirrel

Love the name of the next free font site: Font Squirrel.

Remember- just click on the font to be redirected to the download page!





Note: Junebug is all capitals but if you use caps lock the letters will be filled in. If you don't, it will just be the outline.
I use this font for things I want the kids to color or decorate like covers of journals or nametags.

More Free Fonts: Day 1- Kevin & Amanda

I recently checked out my blog stats and saw that my post about fonts was the highest viewed. I'm pretty sure that is because many people pinned that post on Pinterest. :)

This week I will share with you some of my favorite fonts from my favorite font websites.

First up- my go-to site Kevin & Amanda. I love their collection of scrapbook fonts and their Fonts for Peas full of handwriting from their fans.

Here are some more fun fonts I love! Just click the title photo to access the link.

The creator of this blog, Farley, does a monthly link up called "Currently." Here is my "Currently" list for July:


My little one (officially 7 months old today!) is having a giggle fit. So cute! I can also see his bottom two teeth busting through...that'll be fun!

I finally have a tan after almost nearly a week up north at our family cabin. It was in the 90s almost the entire time so we spent the days on the boat!

I am taking a 3 credit class this summer and I need to come up with an inquiry unit for my kiddos. I am toying with different topics but I can't nail down just one.

I think I have some Throwback Kemp's Chocolate Chip ice cream in the freezer...

I have a gigantic pile of laundry waiting for me.

One of my favorite read-alouds for school is The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. It is great for girls (love the princess fairy tales!) and boys (love the hero!) and they both love comparing the book to the movie.



My favorite resource is Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller. Love! I have a jillion Post-it notes and highlighting marks in that book. My final Master's Degree project was about comprehension and reading notebooks and her book was the backbone to my lesson planning.

Monday inspiration

This week I am off with the family to our cabin. A whole week with my boys relaxing in the sun! Woo hoo! Of course I've packed a kajillion teacher books to read while boating on the lake. We will be spending time with my in-laws and my husband's uncle and aunt who is a first grade teacher. We ALWAYS talk shop while we're up there and compare how things are going for us in our districts.

I will be sharing some posts that include an inspirational quote, website, and blog.
