    Be Brave Hopeful Sayings Colouring Page to Share Now!

    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…

    Happy Birthday Scavenger Hunt

    November 26, 2020 / No Comments

    Here’s an easy way to cope with birthdays this year. Why not give a birthday scavenger hunt a try? Tenth Birthday Celebrations When both of my girls turned ten, we did some amazing fun things to celebrate their birthdays. Together, with my entire family we took my oldest girl to Disney and the Kennedy Space Centre. My youngest got tickets to see Katie Perry in concert with us. But, before we gave her the tickets we did a birthday scavenger hunt. Hidden Clues I hid clues around the house and they led her on a quick tour to find the next clue. One by one she turned them over and…

    What’s On Your Christmas Bucket List + Printable

    November 24, 2020 / No Comments

    What’s on Your Christmas Bucket List this year? Oh, believe me I know the holidays will be very different this season. The pandemic numbers are currently worrisome but the holidays are still right around the corner, not much more than a month away now. Hard to believe it has been 9-10 months of this lockdown, social distancing and quarantine kind of life. I completely understand it as it was necessary but at the same time I am crazy tired of it and worried about Christmas. But, even so, I am still determined to put a positive spin on it. So, I am working on my very own Christmas bucket list…

    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…

    Classic Yard Games to Play Again Now

    August 3, 2020 / No Comments

    How many times have you played Classic Yard Games over the years? I’d hazard a guess that it has been awhile. No shame in that. Me, too, actually. Back when the kids were small we played these outdoor games together often. Recapturing Childhood Remember the romance of childhood? I’m not talking about Hallmark movie romance, but that pure magical feeling that anything is possible and the only limits are your creativity and maybe Mom yelling bedtime out the front door or the window long after the sun sets. Staying up late on those seemingly endless summer nights to play, without a care in the world. No taxes or mortgages or…

    Why Not Spend Spring Skiing in Vermont?

    March 12, 2020 / No Comments

    For years, I have made no secret of my love for winter and summer too. Spring and fall were distant cousins at best. A couple of years ago though, I started to wonder what if we simply stretched winter out a little longer right into spring. Spring skiing! We are guests of Smugglers’ Notch while visiting which means we receive accommodations and lift tickets as well as activities. Spring Break Oh I know, spring break is often synonymous with heading south and we are technically heading south. Just not to the sunny south where the weather is warm. This year, we are on our way to Smugglers’ Notch to do…

    In May of this year my oldest daughter and I will travel to Greece for the first time ever. We are beyond stoked. It is her last year of high school and she literally just a few days ago got accepted into university. Her first choice for the subject she wants! Can’t wait to celebrate that in Greece.
