Wee Welcome

Show the grandparents in your life how much you love them this Grandparents Day!

Back to school will be very different this year but it can still be fun as well.

As parents we want to protect our kids. We want to keep them safe. The only issue with that is that we need them to see, listen and discuss what is going on in the world, how can they grow up to be good humans if they never leave their own bubble? In order to have those conversations as parents we need to do the work first. We need to see what is going on and check our facts and sources. We need to acknowledge that we don’t know what we don’t know. We need to dive deeper, ask questions and understand that we may never truly understand someone else’s journey but we can listen, advocate and stand up and be heard. It is not enough to be indifferent, we need to teach our kids that being a good human means our family supports other families. The only way to do that is by example.

Keep your kids busy with this three part fun activity making Dino Eggs, that you can hunt for and then hatch them!

This is a messy but SUPER fun activity to take outside to the driveway or sidewalk. You probably have everything you need in your cupboard. Paint a masterpiece and then spray it with the white vinegar and watch it come to life, FIZZING!

Working from home can be a real challenge then add a few kids in to the mix for WEEKS and the real fun begins! Two of my kids and I put together a schedule that will help us stay on track for work, school, and family fun!

Get those creative juices flowing with our kid-tested 30 days of play!

Take the “I’m bored” out of your kids and keep them busy all Summer long with creative tips and tricks.

My daughters and I had the chance to spend the morning with Ben Klasky and try out a few of his suggestions including a Scavenger Hunt for 100 things in nature.

Mornings are absolute chaos most days in our house, and every few months I try to get it together with new ways…
