    Are you working through the winter blahs? Here are some of my favourite winter crafts and recipes to help boost your mood this month.

    To Hibernate or Not This Winter?

    January 25, 2019 - By 

    I don’t know about you but winter months tend to bring out the outdoor enthusiast side of me. Maybe that’s weird but it’s how we cope here in my family in Ontario, Canada. We head out to ski, or travel, or combine the two and take a trip to somewhere snowy. But, that said I know many friends who hibernate right now, spending their days dreaming of travel, or reading a book curled up with tea or coffee and a comfy blanket.   Others spend the hours cooking, baking or crafting. The winter crafts and recipes are everywhere right now…

    Talk Like a Pirate Day – Preschool Pirate Treasure Crossword

    September 12, 2018 - By 

    Word games can be such a great way to build early literacy skills with children. This simple pirate treasure crossword is fun and easy for kids who are just learning to read and write. They need a basic understanding of alphabet, spelling and printing to figure out this adorable pirate treasure crossword, but they don’t really need to be fluent readers yet. So here’s a cute Pirate Treasure Crossword for your kids. If you homeschool, or have a daycare facility you can help with the printing if need be. Argh Matey, I thought this year it could be fun to…

    Whale Colouring Page Printable

    May 9, 2018 - By 

    Have you ever been whale watching? That’s one of my travel bucket list items and I just can’t seem to shake the feeling that I really must do this some day soon. Timing is critical of course. You have to choose a destination and a time when whales are active. I suppose BC is probably a consistent bet that way. But I am typically in BC for conferences and not for leisure. Then again there’s always Quebec and the Maritimes out East. I’d definitely love to spend more time there. For now this whale colouring page will do. whale_colouring_page_adult_printable One…

    Welcome April Colouring Page Printable

    March 30, 2018 - By 

    April showers bring May Flowers right? That’s sometimes one of the only things getting me through April. It can be such  dreary rainy grey month of transition. May of course is summer and road trips and here it means opening the pool! That makes me happy. I mean if I can’t ski then I might as well swim and read by the pool. Anyways while waiting out the rain and grey weather you can start setting up your yard and garden. But if stuck inside you will want to print out some of my free and fun printables such as…

    December 15, 2017 - By 

    Are you wrapping your gifts already? Then it’s time for the embellishments like these vintage old Christmas gift tags and bookmarks. You know what makes a gift really pop underneath the tree? The tags, bookmarks, ribbons, bows and cute little notes that make the gifts look so much cheerier.
