This cute Winter Activity Book for Kids will keep your kids busy for a few hours or maybe even a few days, if you work on it once a day for an hour or less. Right now, for me, and my family, it’s all about the waiting. Waiting for Fall to turn to Winter. Oh, I know many people love Fall, but it’s not for me really. Fall is basically me working out and waiting for ski season. So, I look for ways to stay busy and fit all fall long. Are You Ready for Winter? Winter is right around…

This season, I am hunting down easy activities that remind us to find gratitude and give thanks. This Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to find some gratitude and involve the entire family in the process. What are Your Thankful For?

Last week, while visiting my brother and his family at a cottage in Sauble Beach I listened to his adorable kids, my niece and nephew refer to Lake Huron as a river, or the ocean. That simple childhood slip reminded me…
