ABC and 123 Picnic Table Talk: Introduction

picnic button

Thanks to ABC and 123 for the picnic invitation! I love a picnic with good friends, yummy food, and fun activities!

So, what's in our picnic basket?

I hope several chicken salad sandwiches, pasta salad, and a strawberry shortcake!

We are a family of four...my husband, Izzie (32 months), Mac (4 months), and me. Before staying at home with my girls, I was a high school Biology teacher for 5 years. Now, I'm having a blast watching my girls grow and learn.

I just recently discovered the "Blog World", but ABC and 123 was one of the first blogs that I found. I've been following Katie and Katie since the first day and now it's a daily tradition to read their blog while having my cup of tea each morning. It's nice to have so many resources in one place...now, I just need some help organizing all the wonderful information. I'm having a great time finding new activities for Izzie and she really likes having something new to do each day. Here are a few of my favorite actvities that we've done over the past few months.
I look foward to reading more about others who share my desire to make early learning fun and memorable! For more great summer picnic posts, hurry over to ABC and 123.

  2. I joined the picnic too. I don't typically link with other sites or post buttons, but isn't it such a great resource?? Okay...must go! I'm glad you included your speech activities as part of your intro! Your activities are great!

  3. That picnic basket is nearly as big as Izzie and you'd better watch out because it looks like she's ready to dig in and not wait for everyone else:) Thanks for linking up! As you know I'm just waiting for M to come around to snag all those fun monkey activities and I love all the Brown Bear ones you did too. I plan on printing out my own to use with my chicklet:)

  4. I really enjoyed reading your picnic post. Your favorite picnic foods sound fabulous to me! I LOVE strawberry shortcake! I was interested in your great speech activities. Chatting with another picnic momma today we decided that ABC should include some posts that address speech. Now we know where to look for great ideas!
