Can you find us? Well, it’s only two of us–not all of us.

And yes, the kids are in mid-chewy-bite, and Owen really is wearing a green shirt and orange pants. Together.

And he’s wearing huge black shades.

And Cora’s looking totally and completely surprised, staring at the candy in her hand that she thought was an egg.

And that oh-so-handsome man in the back? My hottie husband. Okay, so you can only see his legs.

I’m going to pretend that I really haven’t inundated the Family Fun editors’ with inboxes dozens and dozens of pitches for my own articles and ideas, and I’m just going to be really, really happy that finally–finally!–we’re in one of my most favorite magazines ever.

Remember when I totally scored big and tricked Maddy, Owen, and Cora with my rendition of Family Fun’s Fakin’ and Eggs? I called the post April Fools’ Trick: Eggs and Bacon, and the cool folks at Family Fun caught up with me on Twitter and saw the post themselves.

Okay, so Owen’s not yet 5 years old (but will be soon. . . ), and I really wish they would have had www.teachmama.com as my blog url, but really, I don’t care. I’m just doing a little jig of joy that my kiddos landed on the pages of my Family Fun, even if it wasn’t one of my own ideas–it was another great one of theirs.

Woo-hoo! Happy, Happy Day!

Thanks for subscribing to teachmama! Have a good one!

We're all at home (or most of us, anyway!), so let's keep things light and as fun as possible for our children. Let's play Neighborhood I-SPY! No one has to even come close to one another for this game. Simply share the flier and tally sheet, and pass around on your Facebook groups, your neighborhood listserves, you name it. Then choose a date, and start putting the items in windows and on doors. Then let families walk or drive around to hunt for the items!I like to use some fun hands on learning activities to teach my kids some of the basics and this alphabet activity does just that! Let’s go on an Alphabet Hunt right here in our backyard for things that begin with each letter. #teachmama #alphabet #earlylearning #toddler #preschooler #toddleractivities #abc's #earlylearning #literacyUse stamps for early literacy learning and spelling. It's a great, fun way to teach kids how to spell! With stamps and ink pads, it makes spelling a fun activity for kids to do but also an educational game at the same time! I like using this idea for a rainy day or a snow day when we need to find something to do indoors! #alphabet #earlyliteracy #spelling #teachinghelps #stamps #learning #education #funideasforkids #teachingtips
