No need to worry, I’ve got some ideas for a few… Read More
Happy New Year! What are some of your goals for 2021? I have a couple goals I will be sharing in the weeks to come, but my first goal is to eat locally! Fifty or one hundred years ago, many of us grew at least some of the things that we ate. We might have focused on vegetables, for example,… Read More
When I was a new mom, at times, I would watch other moms with amazement at their car travel kit! How did they become so prepared to have on hand whatever their child seemed to need? Now that I have been a mom for over a dozen years, I do think that I have gradually become more resourceful. Yet as… Read More
As summer starts to die down, kids might itching for a little more structure and for some summer learning activities! You might be interpretting this through their cries of “I’m bored!” Why does, “I’m bored” seem to be a common phrase throughout the summer? Keeping kids entertained and engaged in this fast-paced world is simply a challenge. The following five summer… Read More
Its a struggle to get kids active and outdoors nowadays! Doesn’t that sound a bit ridiculous? After all, what kid does not want to run around outside?

Have you ever had a package stolen? It can give you such an eerie feeling and, of course, it is so frustrating to have someone take your stuff! Or there are times when the book you ordered arrives on a rainy day and sits in a puddle until you collect it. Annoying! Now you have to sort things out with… Read More
Do you enjoy winter? For some of us, wintertime becomes a dreaded prison sentence! It throws a wrench in our lifestyle and inconveniences the simplest chores. In the past few years, the concept of “hygge”(pronounced hoo-ga), a Danish/Norwegian word embodying the feeling of coziness, contentment, and togetherness, has become very popular. It is a lifestyle method to enjoy life- and… Read More
It’s a SNOW DAY (or Cold Day)!! Is that something you dread or look forward to? Either way, it can be made enjoyable, but it does take some planning and effort so it doesn’t become chaos. The fresh snow can be fun to play in, but the kids usually get cold and need to spend a majority of the time… Read More
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. We always tell our kids “go play outside,” so they go ride their bikes or play baseball at the park, but that is not all that the outdoors have to offer! This summer, make it a priority to spend at least one day outside with the kids doing… Read More
Most children (and adults) think of summer as a time to take a break from learning, and I fall into that category as well. I don’t want to think about schoolwork, or helping my kids with their homework, so we think we can just turn our brains off. That doesn’t quite work though.
