If you do your shopping at Publix, I hope you’ve been scanning your little green card! This card gives back a % of your purchase to our little school! We have seen our numbers jump since Fr. Alex starting passing out the cards a couple of months go! If you have lost your card, that’s ok! They are becoming obsolete after September 30! The program remains– you just have to create a Publix account and choose Saint Bede Child Development Center as you school of choice. (This was our previous name, but the funds still come here) When you check out at the grocery store, you will need to enter your phone number, and we will earn $$!
https://www.publix.com/myaccount/register This is the link to create your publix account. If you already have an account, just log in and find the “Locate a School” section. Add Saint Bede Child Development Center to your account, and you’re all set.
*Please note: There is an option for St. Bede Campus. This is the Elementary School. They are a great choice too, it’s just not the baby school. 🙂
Thanks!

Health Department paid us a visit 🙂
We’ve started “Quiet Reading Time” after lunch and before we lay down for nap. Each child has his own soft spot and basket of books. I even get a few minutes of reading too! We started it last week, and I am actually pleasantly surprised that they are doing so well! (with only a few reminders 😂)
I love turning something that’s bound for the trash into something usable- recycling! I have crib mattresses where the vinyl covering has ripped. We are trying to turn them into toddler chairs! 
I think it’s valuable to let your kids see you using what you already have on hand for a project before going out to buy something new. Think ahead to their college years: do you want to furnish a dorm or apartment with all new things? ($$$$$$$$!!!!!) or do you want them to have learned the practice of using what’s already on hand or finding something they can recycle and make?
Toddlers Having Fun!
