Fall’s arrival always makes me a bit sad. Everyone here knows that summer is my favourite season, with winter following close behind. Even this year, I believe that ski season is worth celebrating. Sometimes I find that I need to look harder to find reasons to enjoy September, October and November. But, that said, I am fully aware that the reasons are there. One of the biggest, most appealing parts of the Autumn months is simply Fall colours and watching the leaves change colour. Right now, my street is a riot of colourful maple trees. That makes me happy. Celebrate…

As soon as Halloween passes it’s time to start dreaming about Christmas. That’s why I wanted to make sure to share a few of my new and free resources for families and kids, like this Snowman Colouring Page for kids. Keep Them Occupied Indoors This free snowman colouring page printable is perfect for young people and little ones. Not too hard and not too easy either. Making a snowman and getting outside to play in the snow is genuinely one of the sweetest things about being a child and living through a Canadian winter. Other special seasonal joys for me…

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…

If ever there was a year when we all needed a relaxing hobby, this was the one. I have spent many mornings in the past six months working out and we all have been crafting, doing puzzles and colouring occasionally too. That’s why I thought this Halloween Mandala Pumpkin Colouring Page might be just right for you. Colouring isn’t just for kids after all.

It’s time for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt. This year, Halloween might be a lot different than usual. Who even knows at this point? Whatever happens, I’m committed to making the best of the season here as I’m sure you are too. Halloween brings out the child in everyone. Am I right? I love the chance to decorate on Halloween because it allows me the chance to be playful. My street often goes all in. I hope this year that people remember to make their homes fun too. Halloween goes by pretty fast, just like many other childhood stages and events,…

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? Finding Gratitude in the every day and celebrating that can be hard work. I have been working on this during the year and I can tell you some days I succeed and others not so much. This year has tested most of us, I think. Typically, I start my day with a gratitude exercise, but to be very…

What do you know about the turkey life cycle? If you are at all like me, then it stands to reason that you know very little about our feathered friends. I have always taken turkey for granted as a tasty staple of the Thanksgiving season. But, there’s actually quite a lot to know about turkey. It’s an interesting bird. Since the Thanksgiving and Fall season is fast approaching I thought that perhaps we could share some turkey facts and provide a cute little turkey life cycle booklet and activity for kids. Keep this reference for later. I have other life…

What do mountains, peninsulas, lakes and wetlands have in common? Take a moment to think about it. That’s right, they are all landforms. Right now, as the summer trails off and closes in on fall I thought it might be a good time to share these free landforms flash cards. Remember Being a Small Bean in a Huge World? 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…
