    Cute St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

    February 23, 2021 /

    Well, I know it’s not exactly right around the corner or anything but here’s to St. Patrick’s Day. This year, we are celebrating with a St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt and maybe some green foods or drinks. It was St. Patrick’s Day roughly in 2020 when Coronavirus kicked it up a great deal and sent us all for a loop here. Our spring break vacation was cancelled entirely when the border between Canada and the US was closed to travel. That was a very hard period of time and the start of a long haul through 2020. But, here we are closer to the end of this pandemic. Still Struggling?…

    Fun Wine Word Search Game

    December 27, 2020 /

    Enjoy this wine word search this week when you have a spare moment. By now, you all know that word searches and word games make me happy as a clam. This stems from all the time that I spent in the hospital with Crohn’s disease as a kid. People would always bring gifts of crossword puzzle books and word search games. The Gift of Words Those were amazing ways to pass the time when sitting there in the hospital unable to get out, go shopping or even go to school. Those word games helped fill the hours. Of course, I also did a lot of writing while on the inside.…

    Happy Canada Day!

    June 23, 2019 /

    Happy Canada Day from my family to yours! This is one of my favourite Canada Day photos from years gone by. We love Canada Day here because, of course we are Canadian, and also my older daughter has a birthday the day right after Canada Day. So it is always a Happy Canada Day here!   Wishing You the Happiest of Canada Days! Happy Canada Day and where did June go? June is such a crazy chaotic and fast month. To be truthful, it is not my favourite. While I genuinely adore the warmer weather, I do find that MANY kids don’t do well with the less structured days that…

    Star Wars Word Search Printable For Kids

    April 15, 2018 /

    It’s been awhile since a really good Star Wars movie came out. And I know that there are still many little and big Star Wars fans out there. So, in advance of May the Fourth this year I decided to share this original Star Wars Word Search with you. I know you sometimes geek out over Star Wars products and merchandise. So I thought you might love this too. I think this particular word search is a bit challenging. It has several of the characters and vehicles in it. But challenges are good, as I always tell my kids. So good luck! You hopefully know the drill by now. You can…

    Four Surefire Signs of Spring With Printable

    March 14, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Once the snow clears it’s pretty easy to identify signs of spring at my house. One child gets spring fever and starts behaving a little off the wall. And at least two of us start sniffling and sneezing. That’s what happened this year when we had that rainy period of time in February. Not a fan of an early thaw for a few reasons. Chief among those – spring allergies. Most of us can identify the subtle signs of spring – birds chirping, longer days and blooming flowers. The…

    Autumn Word Search

    September 15, 2017 /

    Well, so long summer. Hard for me to say that as you know. This summer was a bit of a dud in the weather department. Here’s hoping the fall months bring some lovely sunny days for a few more weeks. Here’s a quick autumn word search that will have you, or your kids enjoying a few minutes of fun. Autumn days can be fun for hikes and walks and even camping too. What’s your favourite month? For me autumn is apple picking and squash and delicious warm crockpot meals. It’s a busy time too though with back to school of course. Do you have a favourite thing about the Fall…

    Planets and Constellations Word Search

    You guys seem to love these word searches so I had my amazing helper build a beautiful new one that has some STEM learning in mind. When my kids were small there was a time when they were transfixed by the planets. In fact, they were as into planets as they were into dinosaurs for a few years. If your kids are at all like mine were then this Planets and Constellations Word Search will be perfect. Are your kids science junkies? Mine can be sometimes. It’s a good thing. Do you have a telescope? Are they budding astronomers? Then this Planets and Constellations Word Search will be just the ticket…
