Ever wondered the difference between the Uni-Mermaid theme and the Under The Sea theme? Keep reading!

While they’re both very similar in that they feature seashells, bubbles, sea animals, and ships, they do have some main differences

The Uni-Mermaid theme features unicorns and mermaids that have unicorn horn crowns and the Under the Sea theme features scuba divers and swimmers!

Also, the Uni-Mermaid theme has more purple and pink fonts and accents whereas the Under The Sea theme has more green and blue fonts and accents.

I hope this helps you when choosing between the Under The Sea busy binder and Uni-Mermaid busy binder, for your little one!

If I had to choose a couple of the “little things” that make creating personalized busy binders special, they would be seeing how they make children feel seen and how much fun kiddos have playing with theirs.

That’s because I trial and error, test, and am constantly looking for new ways to create busy binders designs that children love! And want to play with time and time again.

What questions do you have about our busy binders?

The “Word Practice” page got a facelift! 💁🏼‍♀️✨

✨ We love to use this busy binder activity page to practice sight words along with the names of family members

✨ The best part: it’s reusable! The lamination allows this activity to be used over and over again, with the dry-erase markers we provide

✨ Just wipe off and it’s as good as new!

🤔 Who can guess the THEME this activity is in?

I realized something today. After 4 years of working to keep my busy binder + sensory bin business profitable, I realized why I work so diligently.

More specifically, I realized WHO I work so diligently for.

I work for little Mel - my younger self. 👧🏼❤️

It’s an honor to be able to work with the hopes of making her dreams of teaching and inspiring, possible.

You see, ever since I was able to talk, I’ve had a passion for helping teach the smallest members of society - our kiddos (even when I was one myself!).

I would line my dolls up and read them books, ask my neighbor countless times if she needed help with her newborn and toddler, and draft up plans on fun ways to learn + teach about all the things I found fascinating.

I even remember saving up allowance money to get an easel sized notepad, to teach my dolls their ABCs, amongst other things!

I bet baby Mel would be jumping for joy if she saw the busy binders and sensory bins I’m now able to help kiddos all around with!

What about you, friend? Who do you work for?

Are you ready for some Monday Motivation? Do what you love. Help others. Smile. And always drink that extra cup of coffee 😉. Rinse and repeat. What gets you through the day?

Are you up for a challenge? I’m challenging myself to take more breaks throughout the work day, because I'm always more present with my family when I do. Today’s break: a walk outside followed by a phone call catching up with my mom! Want to challenge yourself to take more breaks, too? Let me know if you’re joining me!

I guess you could say I’m a pro at saying “thank you” – my favorite way is with words of affirmation. And in the spirit of thankfulness, I want to tell you that I am so grateful for every single last one of you. I sincerely mean it when I say I am so appreciative to anyone that has purchased one of my products, encouraged me along the way, shared my website or page with someone, or simply "liked" a post here - you have no idea how much it means to me. As I currently work on switching our busy binder designs over to digital downloads, I feel so much gratitude to pursue what I love and have you here for the ride. I’ll never tire of saying it, friends. Thank you for being here. I’d love to hear what you’re up to.
Comment below with the project you worked on today, so we can cheer each other on!

Want to know what’s on the agenda for today? A full day of work, designing, and doing my best to enjoy the process! ...with a side of coffee & cat cuddles of course. It’s going to be a great day! What’s on your agenda?

If I’m being honest, I was terrified when I started my business 4 years ago. But I knew that there were so many possibilities waiting for me outside of my comfort zone, so I went for it! I’m so glad I did, because I’ve been able to serve amazing people like Breonna, who said this about my business: see picture! Her heartfelt words gave me all the warm fuzzies. There’s so much joy in what I do, and for that I am so very thankful.
