    Inspiring Imagination with Zing

    November 24, 2019 /

    I received Zing toys for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Inspiring imagination is what play should be all about. When kids play, either indoors with a game or construction set or outdoors with their friends, their imaginations are what make it so much fun. In my opinion, the best gifts are the gifts that work towards inspiring imagination in our kids. Inspiring Imagination Indoors and Out Remember when you were a kid? Every game was so much bigger than what was really happening. Tag was a battle for survival. Hide and seek was a stealth opp. Those were the times when we had the most fun, and…

    A Travel Printable for Kids – How I Spent 2019

    November 21, 2019 /

    Oh my goodness we have rarely travelled as much as we did together in 2019. Now that ski season is almost here again my youngest daughter keeps asking: “Hey Mom, can we do a trip like we did last season?” Kids Can Reflect on a Fun Year Too! Last season, for your information we took an epic trip of 12 Days, nine to ten of those were straight days of skiing!” Yes, ski season was fantastic this year! I wish we could do an epic trip like that every single year, but it seems unlikely. Sometimes, these trips come together last minute, especially when you are a travel writer. Last…

    10 AWESOME Power Rangers Ideas – Crafts, Costumes and Recipes

    May 15, 2017 /

    One weekend recently I visited my niece and nephews in Toronto. We always have a great time when we drive to Toronto to see them and we had a delicious ham dinner too. My niece and nephews are 8, 6 and 3 and they are busy kids. The boys adore baseball so my youngest spent a lot of time playing catch. After dinner the TV went on. Netflix of course. My niece started jumping up and down singing the Power Rangers theme song, so that was what the kids ended up watching. The Power Rangers are so old they are new again. That totally astonishes me. But it really shouldn’t by now I…

    10 Sensory Play Ideas with Gelatin

    May 25, 2015 /

    My kids are a curious combination of sensory seeking and sensory avoiding. That’s not uncommon for children with sensory processing difficulties. My older daughter avoids anything that feels scratchy. My younger daughter seeks out deep pressure often and also avoids any fabrics that are not soft and comfortable. Both have some sensory issues. I have written about that often here. Remember this post about 5 easy and free sensory play activities for kids with sensory processing disorder. Both of my girls indulge in and seek out messy play. Not always but often. They like painting, gardening, crafting. They are also very kinaesthetic (which is a fancy way for saying they…

    New Barbie Amaze Chase Feature

    No big secret here that my kids are Barbie fans. So, when we heard this new movie featuring Barbie was coming out we had to see it to believe it. Some days I am still certain Barbies are hatching a plot to take over my house. My one daughter has collected Barbies since she was two. I have written about our Love for Barbie often over the years. I fact my daughter’s love of Barbies is well documented. But what about my Barbie beginnings?       Timeless Toys Look Like This In the 70s and 80s I grew up with Barbie and I can still recall every last dreamy pink Barbie…
