Life is what you bake it


Oh look, it's Pi Day again! My daughter used to always wear her t-shirt to school whenever Pi day falls on a school day but today is Saturday and besides, school is closed until April 24...

Print the sentiment and cut out with a Frame metal die. Cut pie out using different colored cardstock and layer together.

It has been an interesting week. All the schools in our school district were closed a week and a half ago and we moved into online learning last Monday. We loved remote school! Besides giving our day some structure and normalcy, it kept the kids busy and engaged. Even though they seem to have more work than a typical school day, I like that they were continuing to learn from their teachers through the Zoom classrooms. The school closure and online learning was supposed to last for two weeks. That all changed when our Governor ordered all the schools in our county to close for 6 weeks. The next day, after he extended his order to close all the schools in WA state, our school district decided to put online school on pause.

Even though I understand that they had to suspend online school so they can iron out some equity and legal issues, I can't help but feel sad and disappointed. From reading the various forums, I was comforted by the knowledge that I am not alone in feeling this way. Many parents are just as bummed. I am trying to be optimistic and patient but I really hope that they can resume online school soon. Until that happens, I suppose I'm going to have to make the most out of this situation.


My kids told me that they still have some school assignments to complete and their teachers still have work for them to do. Even if online school doesn't resume soon, they already have plans of their own. One of my girls suggested that I start a "Cooking School" so I can teach them how to cook some of their favorite dishes but first, they'll like to make a pie. Cos' it's Pi Day! lol! 😄😄


We'd probably not make one today but I will put that on our To-Do list. Along with all the other things I've always wanted to make with them but could never get everyone to participate since everyone is always too busy with this and that. Perhaps now we  could finally spend some time to make the things that we've always talked about making together. Like a Pie. 

Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Files used:

Pie Y'all - Sayings - graphic set
Pie Y'all- Sayings cut set (SVG included)

(Note: Even though I used both the graphic and the sets for these cards, you can totally just use the Cut Set for this project. Personally I prefer the look of the printed sentiment from the graphic set but you can also print the sentiment from the cut set too. )
