30 Family Movies to Watch While You’re Home

30 Family Movies to Watch While You’re Home

April 24, 2020

Is anyone else at the point that saying “who wants to watch a movie?” has lost any excitement? I think my kids have watched more tv in the past 6 weeks than they have the past 6 years. I used to get kids that would jump for joy for a movie on a Friday night to a bunch of “ughhhhh… Read More

Free Printable Seed Journal for Kids

Free Printable Seed Journal for Kids

April 23, 2020

Happy Earth Day! I thought today would be a fun day to share how we’ve been starting seeds and learning about plants the past week. I made a seed journal for the kids that they’re really liking.

Hop Into Coding (& So Much More) with Osmo This Spring

April 6, 2020

Towards the end of my pregnancy, a friend recommended Osmo. She said her boys, who are close in age to Tommy and Miles, really enjoy it.

Easy Science for Kids: A Rainbow Eruption

Easy Science for Kids: A Rainbow Eruption

March 21, 2020

My kids love doing science experiments. They don’t do anything fancy: some of their “experiments” are mixtures of dirt water and sticks in the backyard. I realized years ago that you can use the good old baking soda and vinegar “eruption” to make a variety of fun experiments. We have built a clay volcano and let it erupt, we made… Read More
