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

    July 26, 2022 /

    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 /

    Keeping Kids Motivated Through School and Beyond

    October 8, 2020 /

    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…

    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.

    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…

    As you know, many kids in Ontario and many other Canadian provinces have moved on to online school.
