    Cute St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

    February 23, 2021 - By 

    Well, I know it’s not exactly right around the corner or anything but here’s to St. Patrick’s Day. This year, we are celebrating with a St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt and maybe some green foods or drinks. It was St. Patrick’s Day roughly in 2020 when Coronavirus kicked it up a great deal and sent us all for a loop here. Our spring break vacation was cancelled entirely when the border between Canada and the US was closed to travel. That was a very hard period of time and the start of a long haul through 2020. But, here we…

    How to Build in Digital Breaks – Spring Brain Breaks Game

    February 22, 2021 - By 

    When my kids were younger, we incorporated a lot of brain breaks into the day. Physical activity was and still is a huge priority. But, these days, as we all know, the world is a wildly different place than it was just in 2019, a couple of years ago. Still, I am working on taking spring brain breaks often. Here’s Why Brain Breaks Matter Right Now Our Brains and Bodies are Taxed. Our brains are on all the time these days and they are often overwhelmed and at the tipping point with stress, anxiety and virtual life. Brain breaks are…

    Shrimp Life Cycle Booklet

    February 5, 2021 - By 

    Shrimp is one of my favourite foods, so I started to wonder recently about the shrimp life cycle too. My brain sometimes works that way. If you spend any time here on Thrifty Mommas Tips at all, then you probably already know that shrimp is my food. Just last month I wrote about a shrimp boat tour that we did in 2019 in Coastal Mississippi. But what do you actually know about shrimp? I mean they taste great and all, but what’s their life cycle like? Shrimp Life Cycle The shrimp life cycle is actually pretty interesting. If you are…

    Bald Eagle Life Cycle Learning Games Booklet

    January 29, 2021 - By 

    The first time I ever saw a truly gorgeous bald eagle in real life was in Alabama actually. We were doing a Segway Tour through the Hugh S. Branyon Back Country trail in Gulf Shores, Alabama and we stopped halfway though for a rest and spotted a nest high atop one of the trees and an eagle was in it. Oh I have seen them on TV and even in zoos, where eagles might be rehabilitating from injury. They are always impressive and majestic. But seeing that nest and the scope of it hit me. I’ve seen them in Florida…

    Bee Mine Valentine’s Math Addition and Subtraction Booklet

    January 20, 2021 - By 

    What does Valentine’s Math look like? Well, one plus one equals two. Just kidding. Valentine’s Day Themed Addition and Subtraction Booklet I mean Valentine’s Math isn’t much different than any other math, but at the very least it’s a cute little opportunity to sell math practice to your kids. One of mine had zero interest in math for years, so sometimes that meant adding some manipulable toys or tools to help make it tangible, or real. Whatever works sometimes to get them through. I hope you each have a beautiful Valentine’s Day with your family. There sure is a lot…
