    What Can You Do With Just One Dollar Children’s Book Giveaway

    July 26, 2022 / 3 Comments

    What Can You Do With Just One Dollar? When my kids were small we had a zillion books in the cutest library. They loved to read and it was important to me to have that library full of books about diversity and social issues. While What Can You Do with Just One Dollar wasn’t around then, it is now and it will make the perfect addition to any children’s library. This post is sponsored which means I received compensation for it. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. From the time my kids were small we wanted them to learn about giving and caring about others so…

    June 21, 2021 / No Comments

    When I was a child I could spend hours upon hours reading. I consumed novels in the summer as if they were food and they kind of were.

Summer Slump This summer, when the kids are home you can encourage their love of reading with this cute little 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge.

    Keeping Kids Motivated Through School and Beyond

    October 8, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I received product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Keeping kids motivated about their schooling is harder than it’s ever been before. At least, it is if your kids are anything like mine. On one hand, having that extra time makes it easier for the kids to do their studies and really nail down the material. On the other hand, right now more of that time is spent at home where all the best distractions are. Think about it. At school, the tablet isn’t right there. The console isn’t inches away. Tiktok isn’t playing (mostly). The snacks aren’t there whenever the kids want to get up and…

    My Fun Little Australia Book for Kids

    July 9, 2020 /

    Australia is one of those destinations that people just can’t hear enough about. The land down under is almost mythical.

    Two of the Best Books for Parents of Teens to Read Right Now

    July 3, 2020 /

    Why aren’t there more books for parents of teens? I mean is there a harder stage? I don’t think so. That’s why, when I found these two resources for Parents of Teens I was happy to share them with the world. I received product for consideration here. Post also contains affiliate links. The title, Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety by Dr. John Duffy snagged my attention immediately when I saw it recently from Mango Publishing. Anxiety, check. Teen daughters, check. Could this be more relevant to my kids, my life as a parenting and my current situation? What is the New Teen? The new teen is…

    Six of the Best ADHD Books for Parents

    June 10, 2020 /

    ADHD books for Parents can come in handy, especially at the start of your journey when trying to gather resources and facts. Parenting a child with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) can be extremely challenging. Impulsivity, distractibility, attention, focus and even explosivity are all symptoms that can be genuinely hard to manage and live with on a daily basis. As a parent of two girls who are opposites with these symptoms – one hyperactive and one inattentive, I often need to remind myself to find my calm side and approach parenting from that starting point. This ADHD Books for Parents post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I…

    May 6, 2020 /

    As you know, many kids in Ontario and many other Canadian provinces have moved on to online school. While that process for me is a bit up and down, some weeks I have loved it and others not so much, I have used this opportunity to add more literature and entertaining educational books to my home. I received these DK Canada Dinosaur Books for consideration here. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to my readers. I receive a small commission on qualifying purchases.

    Embracing Nature with DK Canada on Earth Day

    April 13, 2020 /

    Embracing nature is something my family has always done. We love to go camping, hiking, skiing, and just generally be out and about, enjoying the earth. Unfortunately, that’s not really something we can do right now. That’s why I’m loving these books from DK Canada that are all about embracing nature. I received product for consideration here. There really couldn’t have been a better time for these books to arrive at our home. For a family who’s all about embracing nature, the social distancing scenario has been tough. That is especially true for the kids. I wanted to find books that would get them in touch with nature from inside…
