Play. Learn. Grow together.

We do one of these every year for Mother’s day and Father’s day. Our kids aren’t really old enough yet to get a thoughtful gift that parents would actually like. We tried it out one year at the dollar store. The kids ended up picking toys that they really wanted and ultimately ended up getting...

We love these giant posters for family gatherings, parties, or just to keep the kids entertained while they wait for the fireworks to start.

Color matching is a great activity for kids, especially as a busy book or morning basket activity!

If you have been thinking about buying a Yoto, now is this time! Yoto just offered me this code and it is good until June 17, 2026! It only works on your first Yoto PLAYER purchase, so it can’t be used on cards. But if you already have a Yoto and are in the market...

Our Homeschool Co-op has been doing an amazing job at setting up field trips for the students this summer. We had the opportunity to go to the Fort Wayne Safety Village for a bike safety lesson today. It was such a neat experience. Officer Jessie started by talking about a few rules of the road...

This past week my kids had some friends over to play. We had some time to kill and some energy to burn, and thus was born our neighborhood scavenger hunt. So grab your free printable and a pencil and head outside for an afternoon of fun and exercise! There are four different checklists you could...

As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn commission on links in this post. I cannot tell you how many times we would go somewhere and I would realize I needed something that I didn’t pack. It happened so many times before I got my butt in gear and got organized. In this post, I will share...

As a parent, I get exhausted of choosing what is for dinner every night. And for my kids, they get exhausted of being told what they need to eat that night. What started as a fun date night for my husband and I has turned into one of my families favorite meals. Aldi is going...

My 5 year old begs me every summer to have a lemonade stand. If you are like me, you: I love the idea. It’s cute. It is a way kids can try to be little entrepreneurs. But why not set your kids up for success by helping them come up with a product people actually...

I know I am late. In my defense I had the poster made over 2 weeks ago! I just forgot I did it and then I moved on posting other things. But if you are more on top of things than I am, then maybe you can get this to your local office supply store...

When we lived in North Carolina, there was a restaurant called Piada that had delicious power bowls. They were the inspiration for this recipe here. But they were also inspired by a late night flight where the only restaurant open was subway and I ordered a sweet onion teriyaki chicken sub and fell in love...

This post contains affiliate links. My husband and I decided when we got married that we would make date nights a priority in our lives, regardless of what life looked like. And I would say we have done a pretty good job at holding true to that. However, since having kids, we have had to...

This post contains affiliate links. My friend told me that she did this last year for her kids and it was a hit! So we introduced it to our kids last Monday during family night and it has been fun watching them come up with ways they can be kind to one another and serve...

My husband and I make an effort to have a date night once a week. It has been awesome for our marriage to set aside the daily tasks and do something fun together. I would highly recommend everyone set aside a day each week to spend a couple of hours together. And to make it...

My kids love pretend play. And I mean LOVE. And I have been seeing these notepad sets all over Etsy and TikTok and I knew it wouldn’t be hard to make with Canva on my side! I will make more as I think of other versions. I’d love to hear in the comments any ideas...

This article may contain affiliate links. As we have tried to navigate homeschool this first year, I have found that my son is not a worksheet kid. He will rush through it to get it done and it won’t stick. And he will complain about it the whole time. This has forced me to get...

This post contains affiliate links. The growth in technology available is insane. We try to limit screens and tablets for my kids at their current ages, but I frequently think about how I want to introduce my kids to what technology has to offer. Many valuable skills can be learned just by understanding basic computer...

If you know me, you know I love party games. We have been playing quite a few this Christmas season with my family when we get together (more on that in another post. I have several ideas for you). But I thought it would be fun to put together a trivia game of things that...

For the first semester of Kindergarten we have been working on recognizing the alphabet. So far we have been using All About Reading curriculum to do this along with random review days. Language Arts has been my son’s least favorite subject to do each day. I don’t really blame the curriculum as I feel there...

Every year at Christmas time, we make treat plates for our friends and neighbors. Some years we go all out and buy the fancy tins or window treat boxes to deliver them in. Some years we deliver them on whatever paper plates we have at home. But either way, it is delicious and a fun...
