’m not an artist – so trust me – if I can make this painting, it has to be pretty easy! I HAD to try this art project just because it’s fun. And cool. And sciency. (My browser is telling me that’s not a real word… haha) This salt and watercolor snowflake art project actually teaches you something, and I LOVE that!
Are you proud? I feel like we should be proud of where we live…whether it is the best place on Earth or not. Choosing to see the positives in every situation can be a very rewarding skill and starting with where you live is a plus. Every city has its Read more…
I don’t know about you, but my kids LOVE Christmas carols or any holiday song out there. In fact, starting the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas carols are playing on our Google Home or Pandora playlist pretty consistently. I LOVE, LoVe, LOOOOOOVE the holiday season and all the fun traditions that come with it.
I don’t want to think that we will be in a lockdown yet again, but with the COVID cases rising, the election going a bit crazy and everyone a bit on edge about this virus, I feel like it may just happen. With that being said, if you have littles this is something you may dread. The last lockdown left us with little imagination to make the lockdown “fun” and interesting anymore. We executed some pretty amazing plans to keep the littles busy and did that for many months only to now have no ideas left. I thought I’d help a momma, daddy, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, caretaker out and get some new, fresh ideas out there in case we are quarantined once again.
Summer is in full swing in our household but we are still not enjoying all we could be due to the Coronavirus quarantine. The zoo, museum, parks, and pools all have restrictions (and most aren’t even open yet) which makes it impossible to enjoy as it is intended.
If you know me, you know I can’t stand being bored and usually go into planning mode PRONTO. I took some old fashioned ideas and gave them a little spin. Lucky for you I am excited to share my fun “Quarantine Activities” with all of you.
Are you ready for a little mischievous fun? These St. Patrick’s Day STEAM activities are sure to get your littles excited about science. Start the week off with a Skittles experiment. (Because leprechauns love rainbows of course. 😉 ) Just place the candies around the edge of the plate and Read more…
I’m usually not all about fads but I am all about starting traditions that I feel I would want my kids to carry on in their own family someday. I stumbled across this tradition of the Thanksgiving Thankful Tree and thought I would share.
The winter weather has FINALLY cleared, the flowers have bloomed and the days are a bit longer. What a relief! Being a momma during the winter months can seem long and tireless but being a momma in the summer when days are longer and playing is rougher can be even more trying.
I get it…
the kids are home from school for spring break, the littles are excited to have the bigger kiddos home, and chaos seems inevitable. You scurry to the arts and crafts cabinet only to sigh with disbelief that you can’t think of a single thing to “create” or a single place to go. You want to make memories during this time but also want to stay within a tight budget. Spring break can be downright nerve-wracking and can bring a lot of pressure to keep things busy and fun.
