    Fun Spring Break Recap Activity

    March 15, 2021 /

    Well, Spring Break this year has been full of surprises already. Just a few weeks ago we were all assuming that spring break would be in March as usual. But then it got shifted to April here in Ontario. That was clearly shocking to many people. I’m not sure it matters anymore, I mean not like we are able to travel or go anywhere outside the province. Whether spring break is in March or April seems like a trivial thing after this year that we have had. Dates hardly matter these days. Many of us wake up still and wonder what the heck day it is! Ultimately, what matters most…

    How to Build in Digital Breaks – Spring Brain Breaks Game

    February 22, 2021 /

    When my kids were younger, we incorporated a lot of brain breaks into the day. Physical activity was and still is a huge priority. But, these days, as we all know, the world is a wildly different place than it was just in 2019, a couple of years ago. Still, I am working on taking spring brain breaks often. Here’s Why Brain Breaks Matter Right Now Our Brains and Bodies are Taxed. Our brains are on all the time these days and they are often overwhelmed and at the tipping point with stress, anxiety and virtual life. Brain breaks are still vital, in fact, even more than they ever have…

    So How Are We Doing Easter During a Pandemic?

    April 10, 2020 /

    But are we even doing Easter this year? We’ve gone back and forth on this actually, a few times this year. I mean honestly no judgement at all if you are taking it easy and simply getting through. But this week, I did a fair bit of reading and a whole lot of thinking. What would Easter look like in the middle of a pandemic? Would we be doing Easter? Our original plan was to drive to my brother’s home in Toronto. But that was back in February before we’d even heard the term Covid-19. Before spring vacations were cancelled and people started dying of a virus that was travelling…

    Why Not Spend Spring Skiing in Vermont?

    March 12, 2020 /

    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…

    Fun Spring Colouring Page Printable

    March 21, 2019 /

    It’s officially spring. This year I have shared some monthly colouring pages for your personal use. Today I figured you would enjoy this cute and fun spring colouring page printable too. It seems everyone looks forward to spring. I actually enjoy the winter months because of ski season. When the skiing stops I get a little bit sad. Skiers can relate I’m sure. Whether you love spring or sadly put the ski gear away and grieve a bit for the loss of snow, we can all agree the change of seasons is a challenge. Daylight savings time can be awful for some kids to adjust too. Disrupted sleep makes life…

    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. Are you an April fan? Do you enjoy the showers? Or do you search out ways to lift your spirits during the dreary rainy showers this month. If you need something to do, or if you are stuck indoors with your kids and need some activities that…
