Printable Binder Covers

I have 3 kids in school this coming year (7th, 9th and 11th grade). Let me just tell you that they have used A LOT of binders over the years.

Here's a quick tip, check your local thrift stores year round and pick up any binders in good condition. Shopping at your local office supply store gets real pricey when you need to buy multiple 2-3" binders.

When shopping in your local second hand/thrift store make sure they are in good shape and will last. They can't be ripping at the sides and they must close well.  My kids prefer that they have a clear front pocket to add their own cover to make it personalized.

Since there were so many cute designs out there, I thought I would share a few that you can print out and use from sites all over their web. There are so many more. This is just a sampling. Enjoy!

Gardening for Free

One of my favorite summer past times is growing a garden.

Mostly I try to grow vegetables such as cucumbers, green peppers, banana peppers, green beans, onions, potatoes and tomatoes, etc.

This year my family became addicted to guacamole. Joking my kids said we need a guacamole section in our garden. I have the cilantro, green onions and even planted an avocado seed. See how much it's grown.

After many failed attempts at suspending the seeds in water like I've seen in online tutorials.  I ended up just planting it in a small pot of potting soil. Of course, the one in the pot of soil is the only one that grew and has been growing strong for a few months now.  I used a seed from avocado I bought at my local Aldi's.  I love to save seeds from peppers, apples, lemons, cantaloupes, watermelons, and pumpkins. If they grow great - if not it's not a bit deal.

Below is a photo of my veggie haul this week. My kids were helping and dug up some of the vegetables a bit early. 

This doesn't even include my green beans which we ate for dinner before I took the photos.

The best part is I used the seeds from the avocados I bought and also the peppers bought. Not a package of seeds. Some sprouted, a few didn't but it cost me anything. I bought the food to eat - the seeds were a bonus. You can do the same. It is pretty easy.

Feel free to share pictures of your gardens.

Live As If You Were To Die Tomorrow

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. 

Learn as if you were to live forever.”   ― Mahatma Gandhi

It's human nature to think there will be always be more time.

You'll have time when the kids go to school.  You'll have time when the kids grow up, go off to college and move out. You'll find time when things aren't so busy. There will be time when you have more money and don't have to work so much.

If you keep going at that rate you'll never find time. You need to MAKE time.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the guitar? What about write a book? Sell some of your photos? Start your own business? Dream of traveling to far off places?

How long have you been waiting to start living your dream life? Do you even know what that is? Do you even know what your dream life looks like?

You aren't getting any younger! Start today. Start now!

No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Make this a life of no regrets.

Make each day count!
