Greece Coloring and Writing Book For Your Family Trip

Paula — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:02:00 +0000

In May of this year my oldest daughter and I will travel to Greece for the first time ever. We are beyond stoked. It is her last year of high school and she literally just a few days ago got accepted into university. Her first choice for the subject she wants! Can’t wait to celebrate that in Greece. Learn All About Greece Now While my children are way too old for this cute Greece coloring and writing book, yours might just be exactly the right age for it. I love getting kids psyched about travel and geography and learning all of the things about this beautiful world we live in. The exploration of history and culture is also one that we take both seriously and playfully too. I want my kids to always love travel and to strive to understand other cultures and customs. So, we travel every single chance that we get. Greece is one of those destinations that I have had on the bucket list forever. So, in early May we will fly there and enjoy a week exploring Thessaloniki and Halkidiki. Athens might also be in the cards for this trip. Time and weather will tell. Other Tools Check out this post about Greece Travel Guide Books while you are at it. Download the Greece Coloring and Writing Book and share with your kids before you go. It’s a great way for younger kids to spend time on the airplane or to practice fine motor skills, spelling and more. Stay tuned for all of the travel posts that are soon to come out of the Greece trip.

Happy New Year 2020 to all of you! How did you spend your New Year’s Eve? Last night, we went skiing as a family, well mostly…my one girl went to a friend’s sleepover party and chose to stay there. It’s a New Decade – Welcome to 2020! So the rest of us, the remaining three members of my family, went skiing at Boler Mountain in town here and had a great time together. At 9:30 pm roughly every New Year’s Eve they have a family New Year’s Eve event and we have enjoyed it a few times. Last year, we ushered in the New Year with my good friend Margarita Ibbott. That was a wonderful way to start the year off too. New Year Colouring Page Happy New Year 2020 to all of you! Here’s a 2020 Colouring Page that you can share with your family or colour on your own.

A Travel Printable for Kids – How I Spent 2019

Paula — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 08:20:45 +0000

Oh my goodness we have rarely travelled as much as we did together in 2019. Now that ski season is almost here again my youngest daughter keeps asking: “Hey Mom, can we do a trip like we did last season?” Kids Can Reflect on a Fun Year Too! Last season, for your information we took an epic trip of 12 Days, nine to ten of those were straight days of skiing!” Yes, ski season was fantastic this year! I wish we could do an epic trip like that every single year, but it seems unlikely. Sometimes, these trips come together last minute, especially when you are a travel writer. Last minute trip offers arrive and you know to gather all of the things fast and get going. Sometimes, that adds to the excitement and occasionally that is tricky with kids in tow. Now that I have teenagers I’d like to think it is a bit simpler because they are able to do some things themselves. In fact, my teens are skilled travellers at this point because they have been picking up and jetting off or road tripping with us from the time they were small beans. So, they have the skills to do some of the preparation themselves. Taking Stock of Memories At the end of any given year it is customary to pause and reflect on things that happened that year. So, I figured this cute kid’s travel printable could help you to do the same. If you took any adventures together as a family, here’s a travel printable children’s activity sheet they can do. This season, at the end of the year I thought it would be amazing to pull together a sweet kid’s travel printable here, one that encourages literacy and also helps to celebrate some of the great family trips you have all had. While my kids are older and they are more likely to text or post to instagram than do a worksheet, there’s still room for fun imaginative children’s pursuits. So, that said, I might print this off and mail it out to my niece and nephews so they can reflect on their trip to Alberta, or their visit to Aunt Paula’s house in London in the summer. I will forever remember that trip even though it didn’t involve any travel for me, because they came here and one came for a sleepover and during the day we swam and then raced out to watch my older nephew play baseball. Such sweet memories. In fact, I might even lay some of these on the table here, so the kids can doodle and fill it out and have some positive thoughts and memories about what we did this past year. Where We Were This Year My Facebook memories and Instagram memories remind me of where we were one year ago on this day and two years ago this month and so forth. Nothing makes me happier some days than seeing these memories in my feed. Ski Season 2018/2019 In March of this year, we started our road trip from home and went straight to Okemo Ski Resort in Vermont then up over to Sugarbush to celebrate their 60th birthday at one of my favourite ski resorts ever. After three days at Sugarbush, we went to Sunday River Maine and finally on to Quebec City and Hôtel de Glace!! That was just March! After that came Missouri Lake of the Ozarks, and Oregon and Vermont again for the first time ever in the summer months, and Rochester, New York and Finger Lakes!

Positive and Cheery May Colouring Page Activity

Paula — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 08:51:07 +0000

Well, hello there May. I have been missing you. What could be more positive or relaxing than a May colouring page activity? I know many of you love the printables and colouring pages here, so it’s time to share this happy printable page with you too. May heralds the start of summer adventures, so bring it on. Mother’s Day is also in May and I enjoy having time to spend that day with my family. That’s one of my favourite things actually. Dropping all the work and other stuff and having lunch or dinner with my family. If you have not yet seen the Spring colouring page here then, don’t forget to check that one out and download it too if you want more colouring. Check out my Pinterest Printables Board for more printable activities and colouring pages. To Print This May Colouring Page Out: Here’s what you need to know to get this printable printed. LOL.

I know many people find it soothing and it can go hand in hand with mindfulness training. May_colouring_page
