    December 31, 2020 / No Comments

    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 / No Comments

    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 New Year Scavenger Hunt

    December 24, 2020 / No Comments

    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. But I am more than ready to say good bye to 2020. Looking forward to a year of vaccines and a potential return to travel. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but I have to…

    Easy Christmas I Spy Game for Preschoolers

    December 17, 2020 / No Comments

    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 / No Comments

    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…

    Albert Einstein Life is Like a Bicycle Colouring Sheet

    October 7, 2020 / No Comments

    This Albert Einstein Bicycle Colouring Sheet is exactly what you need right now. These days, we need a lot of inspiration to keep going. That’s why when I spied this quote by Albert Einstein and this charming Mandala style colouring sheet I had to share. Post may contain affiliate links.

    Happy Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt for Families

    September 20, 2020 / No Comments

    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 honest that is sometimes forgotten when I am dragging myself…

    My Summer Drawing Challenge for Kids

    May 7, 2020 / No Comments

    It’s a commonly known fact, in my house anyways, that I am surrounded by artistic children. I actually love their creativity. While I am creative, I am not, generally speaking, artistic. These kids can draw and paint and craft all day long. They have always been like this. Forever making, baking and creating things. Right now, as I am finishing this summer drawing challenge post, my daughter is making origami creatures nearby. That’s a good thing right now since there’s nothing much else to do to occupy their time during a pandemic. But, if someone asked me to draw a person I’d be hard pressed to do one that resembled…

    So How Are We Doing Easter During a Pandemic?

    April 10, 2020 / 3 Comments

    But are we even doing Easter this year? We’ve gone back and forth on this actually, a few times this year. I mean honestly no judgement at all if you are taking it easy and simply getting through. But this week, I did a fair bit of reading and a whole lot of thinking. What would Easter look like in the middle of a pandemic? Would we be doing Easter? Our original plan was to drive to my brother’s home in Toronto. But that was back in February before we’d even heard the term Covid-19. Before spring vacations were cancelled and people started dying of a virus that was travelling…
