    Hottest Dinosaur Toys to Give as Gifts This Year

    November 4, 2020 / 2 Comments

    It’s no secret that the holidays are right around the corner. My kids have always been fascinated by dinosaurs and dinosaur toys always made impressive gifts for them every year. Just a Few Great Dinosaur Toys Jurassic Park was just the latest of the series of movies to get my youngest daughter reinvested in dinosaurs. She currently has dozens of dinosaur books, mostly from DK Canada. But, this season she’s asking for both Jurassic Park and Harry Potter themed Lego or books. That means dinosaurs are high priority again. A few of these are super young for little people but these Lego kits and robotics are also rewarding for older grade…

    My Christmas Wish List Activity for Kids

    My Christmas Wish List. If there was a single phrase that could evoke childhood and the spirit of Christmas long ago for me, then I think it would be My Christmas Wish List. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers. I receive a small commission via qualifying links. Do you remember being small, poring over catalogues or flyers that arrived in the mail, circling items you dreamed of owning? For me, as a child, it was always dolls and Barbies.

    On Mindfulness Tools and Month One of Living Mindfully #LoveHallmarkCA

    February 8, 2017 /

    This year, I decided 2017 would be my year of living mindfully. Mindfulness was, and still is, my own personal goal. I challenged myself to stop, take stock daily and be present. Be Mindful. So here’s where I am at one month after starting this mindfulness experiment. In fact, I thought mindfulness would be easier than this, so I am looking to build in some new relaxation and mindfulness tools to help get there. This morning, walking alone, on a beautiful winter day, it was easy to close my eyes, block out jobs, tasks, To Do Lists, and reflect on the beautiful surroundings. Southern Ontario in the winter can be pretty…

    Maze Printable – Help The Pirate Ship Find The Palm Trees

    April 28, 2016 /

    I love printables. Free puzzles, printables and crosswords make me happy. I hope they also make you happy. These printables remind me of vacations we have taken together as a family. When the kids were small I would keep a batch of these on hand for road trips and airplane trips too. Activities like these were great for the budget. Help the ship go through a maze and find tropical island with palms. Enjoy this educational game for children. This maze printable might keep them busy for a few minutes. Plus there’s a bit of a pirate theme that appeals to preschoolers with big imaginations too! My own nephew is…

    Mystery Puzzles Package for Your Little Detectives

    March 18, 2016 /

    Do you have a sweet little spy? Are you raising a small detective? Does your child love decoding, or enjoy a good mystery? Do they like word games too? Then these children’s mystery puzzles will be just the right thing to keep them occupied and having fun all summer. Now be warned one has a serious travel theme so don’t print it out unless you are legitimately taking a trip soon. Or the happy smiles will be frowns instead. Nobody wants that. My kids have always enjoyed word games and I was no different at their ages. I have always enjoyed words and word puzzles or word searches and crosswords are…

    Family Puzzle Word Game Printable

    It’s officially March break here and I figured you might need something fun and inexpensive to share with the kids. Like this word game. Who doesn’t love word searches and word games? As a child I loved word puzzles like these. Anyways what have you all got planned for March break or spring break? Are you travelling? Are you on a Stay-cation? Are you just hanging out at home saving some money? I am not even sure what we are doing yet actually. I’d love to be travelling somewhere. But we will have to see what comes up. I know right now we have one birthday party scheduled for the first weekend…

    Easter is a special time of year to me. I am sure it is to many of you as well. My Mom was born around Easter and so this time of year reminds me of her. Easter is the time of year we used to get together often. It kind of kicked off the spring season. Birthdays, holidays and just any old reason to get together. Once the snow has melted and the roads are good to drive on again we would get together more than we ever did in the winter. My Mom loved spring as do my kids. Together they all loved puzzles and word puzzles like this…

So here is a very special St Patrick’s Day Word Search for you. So what have you got planned for March 17th? Do you celebrate? Do you wear green? Are you Irish?
