Today’s post is one of those that I’m both excited and sad to write —
Excited because I’m working with a group of amazing moms who are all focused on making a difference in the lives of children!
But also sad because it means that there are kids who are going without food every day.
And there’s so much to do in the fall (along with yummy new recipes to try – I’m a big baker) so we made a list of festive Fall Activities that I thought I would share with you.
When is Father’s Day this year? Don’t worry – you’ve still got time — it’s June 16th. And for the record, my Dad’s birthday is the same week so I’ve been browsing for some fun and unique gifts for a few of the special men in my life.
Now, my husband will tell you that the best gift any man could get would be an unlimited supply of bacon (and who am I to argue) but I was thinking of something better than bacon. I know, there’s probably not much that’s better than bacon but here are a few unique ideas that I think they may enjoy.
Enjoy these fun indoor & outdoor activities for your next snow day! Like so many others, we are having a ‘snow day’ this week (actually, it’s an ice day today but who knows what tomorrow might bring — my kids are hoping for a repeat performance :). You can’t go out much (really, driving is …
Explore a little science at the beach with these fun activities! A day at the beach is what summer dreams are made of when you’re a kid — sandcastles, seashells and splashing in the waves. But there’s also quite a bit of learning that can be woven into your beach visit too. So grab a …
“The Lorax” will be hitting theaters on March 2nd, and what a great way to introduce kids to the topic of ecology! Take this opportunity to share one of the many messages from Dr. Suess’ story about “The Lorax”: the long-term consequences of a decision, why we should protect nature, and how one person can help to change the world.
Kids need to learn so many different things that will help them to grow up and become self-sufficient. There’s some of the biggies – like learning to get dressed and feed yourself – and there’s smaller skills that are very important to – looking someone in the eye when you speak to them, saying ‘thank …
I’m always so overwhelmed once the school year gets into full swing. I think it’s coming off of those laid back summer days and then WHAM! — it seems like there’s hardly any time to relax.
One of our challenges is finding ways to mix things up to keep them fun during the school year. The same old lunches can get boring very quickly. Practicing spelling words and math facts is really a struggle unless you have some fun ways to keep the kids engaged.
This year, I’m thrilled to be part of the Kid Blogger Network Back to School team! And we are all ready to help you get ready for a great school year with tips on organizing, homework help, school prep and more wonderful resources to help you ease back into school.
And then there’s all those new things the kids want to learn about — they learn a little about pengins in a science lesson and it leads to 50 new questions at dinner. LOVE the questions but I always like to have time to explore those new topics with the kids WHILE they have that burning interest.
Each summer, our kids look forward to seeing fireworks on July 4th. We have a great spot where we are able to view firework displays for 3 locations and my daughter’s favorite part is sitting on the top of the car to see them. July 4th is a great time to talk with kids about …
This content is sponsored by Kohl’s as a part of their #DestinationSummer campaign. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions (and crazy comments) are always my own.
This week, I’m excited to be working with Kohl’s and some truly amazing bloggers on the #DestinationSummer project.
In addition to their Pinterest Virtual Road Trip, Kohl’s also has a great in store campaign taking place this summer called “FindYourYes”.
The idea is to find what matters to you.
For us parents, a huge ‘Yes’ is our kids.
But while I was watching the #FindYourYes video and thinking about my kids, I began to wonder – what’s their “Yes”; what are the things that matter to my kids?
