    December 28, 2022 / No Comments

    I know you love these because they are some of my most downloaded and read content on the site. So, this year I thought I’d capture a brilliant package of months of the year printable activities for you to use and share with someone. These are perfect for little ones, or grandkids. Colour the characters, letters and numbers and give these activity pages to your little people to help them learn the months of the year and the order they come in. Print the Name of the Months of the Year What’s your favourite month? What’s the month that comes before it and the one that comes afterwards as well?…

    Cute Kid’s Lunch Box Notes to Share

    October 17, 2021 / No Comments

    When our kids were younger they took the bus to school. The day could be awfully long without us, or so I thought anyways. I mean I know it was long for me often without them. So, I sometimes loved adding cute lunch box notes to their lunch boxes. My two kids struggled with anxiety too so sometimes the separation anxiety was high, especially with my youngest child. For years, I would give them each a business card tucked into their back packs. I know that sounds funny to some people. But for my girls it was the extra reassurance that they had my phone number and they could reach…

    25 Summer Things For Kids to Do Now

    May 11, 2021 / No Comments

    This year we are all about local activities again. If you are also still playing it smart and cautious then you know that you need to get kids motivated to get outdoors and exercise while doing so safely. Don’t sweat it. I have a great list of summer things for kids to do. Refer to it when you are stuck and pin it for later. Right now that might be a bit trickier than usual, but there are many summer activities for kids to do now safely as we wait for the pandemic to subside and vaccines to roll out across the country.

    Fun Zoom Summer Charades Game

    April 29, 2021 / No Comments

    Alright let’s all have some fun with Zoom. I mean, listen I am fully aware that Zoom is a grind sometimes. It is a blessing and also a grind. So, why not capture a little more of the fun side of zoom with this zoom summer charades game. This past year I think we’ve all had a love hate relationship with Zoom. It’s great to have as a tool to keep business going and jobs thriving. I mean I am grateful for technology and so many Zoom moments and connections with my colleagues and my family members who I can’t see right now. Silly Zoom Pandemic Moments During the pandemic,…

    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

    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

    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 /

    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…
