It’s time for another great Happiness is Homemade link party and this week our host is Niki from Life as a LEO Wife . Niki will be choosing the features for the month of August.

Since we’re still in the back-to-school season, she will be sharing some features to help you get back into the groove of things. It’s always hectic when things first get started, so hopefully the features this week will help you out!  I am honored to see that Niki has picked my W is for Weather Preschool Lesson & Craft to be one of the features.

Donna of An Organized Season has a great post filled with ideas to help you get organized for back- to-school. These tips are sure to help you & include ideas for school shopping with closet organization that will help you have clothes ready every morning as well as organizing a dedicated study area that is important for your child to do well in their studies this year and much more.

These back-to-school printables created by Nicolle of Our Tiny Nest are absolutely adorable! She has four different designs in her post, including blank lunch box notes, a first day of school sign that’s perfect for all of those first day pictures (hint- laminate it and fill it out with a dry erase marker to use it through all 13 years of school for cohesive senior photos!), a morning checklist, and finally labels to add to all of those supplies.

      If you are a teacher or you will still have little ones at home who are too young to go to school, this DIY weather craft, that includes a lesson and science experiments by Sinea of Ducks ‘n a Row, looks like so much fun! She includes free printables to make the craft as well as science experiments, like a tornado in a bottle and shaving cream rain clouds, that are not only fun for littles but will also teach them about weather at the same time. This is great for a pre-school class or even for your 3- or 4-year-old that is heartbroken that they can’t get on the bus and go to school with your older kiddos!

    Slow cooker meals are a lifesaver for those working moms and dads out there, especially when school is in and there are a thousand after school activities to do! Jenny over at Cook Eat Go shared a SUPER easy slow cooker Coca Cola pulled pork slider recipe that anyone can put together in minutes and only takes a few ingredients.

  Once you have your first after school dinner complete, what would be more fun and exciting to your little ones than to serve it at this fun back to school table setting created by Linda of A Labour of Life? I absolutely love this tablescape! It’s filled with childlike whimsy, with its chalkboard place cards and chalk on the table to use while waiting to be served or after eating, school supplies as a centerpiece, and writing strips used as menu cards. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike.

ON TO THE PARTY!
