    Learning Emotions Activity Book

    February 2, 2022 / No Comments

    Learning emotions for kids can be a game changer as they grow. That can also be a game changer for adults as well because when kids understand emotions and can use the right words to describe the right emotion it makes a world of difference in all the family relationships. My kids have both struggled with emotional regulation and dysregulation over the years. One has anxiety disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the other of course has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD.) I have talked about that disability many times over the years. But if you are interested in learning more then check out the piece that I…

    Time for Mom Camp With Summer Weekly Themed Activities for Kids

    May 26, 2021 / No Comments

    So, if this year is anything like last year then we might all be working on creative ways to keep kids busy. Why not set up your own version of day camp? Mom camp with summer weekly themed activities for kids. I mean when kids are little this totally makes sense. Here are a few ideas for summer weekly themed activities. If there are nine weeks of summer, there can be a lot of down days or a lot of “Mom, I’m bored” days. Don’t let that happen. Instead check the attitude and keep them off screens with nine weeks of planned summer weekly themed activities. This is exactly what…

    Fun Spring Break Recap Activity

    March 15, 2021 /

    Well, Spring Break this year has been full of surprises already. Just a few weeks ago we were all assuming that spring break would be in March as usual. But then it got shifted to April here in Ontario. That was clearly shocking to many people. I’m not sure it matters anymore, I mean not like we are able to travel or go anywhere outside the province. Whether spring break is in March or April seems like a trivial thing after this year that we have had. Dates hardly matter these days. Many of us wake up still and wonder what the heck day it is! Ultimately, what matters most…

    Easter Colour by Number Activity Sheet

    March 8, 2021 /

    Spring is here. Now, that’s cause for celebration. So, I thought I’d share this cute Easter Colour by Number activity sheet with you. Post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I make a small commission off of qualifying purchases. Is spring is in the air, then Easter can’t be far behind. But that means a whole mess of weather in between. Rain and sometimes snow is still on the agenda. One Year Ago… OH BOY, it is hard to believe where we were one year ago. How has it been one year since the start of the pandemic here in Ontario? Such a hard year. But I still…

    Be Brave Hopeful Sayings Colouring Page to Share Now!

    December 31, 2020 /

    At the start of the pandemic I looked for ways to stay positive. I think many of us did actually. There weren’t many optimistic and hopeful things to see then as events were cancelled and schools closed and sports stopped, gyms closed and well you get the idea. And, there was so much worry, in every single corner of my house. WE lost multiple trips we had planned and we were worried often. Everything was so much harder, especially when schools closed and remote learning was the new normal. My kids did not do well with that at all. MOM Life So, like a lot of Moms, I looked for…

    New Years Resolutions Goal Setting +Printable

    December 29, 2020 /

    So, after the year we just had, is it even possible to have New Years Resolutions? Is it advisable? It is worrisome? Well, maybe just a bit. But I am tentatively creating some anyways and holding a few close to the chest. Didn’t we all have all of the intentions and resolutions last year at the start of 2020 before the world went topsy turvey and the pandemic was declared? SMART Goals I can’t even imagine a year now where my resolutions are not SMART goals. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. BIGGEST emphasis on REALISTIC. So, What are My New Years Resolutions? What…

    Happy soon-to-be New Year 2021 to all of you! Today, I am sharing a Happy New Year Scavenger Hunt with all of you knowing you can use the easy and fun family activities for your end of year celebrations this season. Good Bye 2020 Let’s be honest here. Has there ever been a year that you were more anxious to see end? I mean, I have had a few challenging years. Like the year my Mom passed away.

    Easy Christmas I Spy Game for Preschoolers

    December 17, 2020 /

    Bring on all the Christmas Word Games. We love them. True story. I printed out a couple of these for my youngest daughter yesterday. Maybe not this one, but the Christmas crossword and the Christmas word scrambler. She loves those kinds of word games. Counting Plus Sorting This Christmas I Spy game is a little bit different in that it is more about math and counting and numeracy. That would definitely not appeal to a few of the kids that I know, but even so, it is important to start learning these concepts and to keep it fun at the same time. Also here’s the thing. At that age, you…

    End of Year Journal Activity Booklet

    December 16, 2020 /

    This End of Year Journal Activity booklet is pitch perfect for kids at this time of the year. It serves several purposes. An End of Year Journal can prompt kids to get writing and thinking about the past year. But, to be honest, I love it equally for the fact that a simple journaling activity can also make gratitude real. Gratitude Exercises Even in a year when there didn’t seem like there was much to be grateful for, something can always be found. I believe that and it’s something I am trying to convey to my kids and my readers regularly. I wrote about gratitude way back when at the…
