Bug Hunt!
Phew! Sometimes it’s hard to come up with new ideas to captivate your little ones for longer that it takes to create said idea. This activity was a winner on all fronts. I ordered these butterfly nets and bugs from amazon, and the rest were gifts my children had received for Christmas. The mushroom kaleidoscope […]

Treasure Hunt to the extreme!
Daddy decided to create a detailed map and cut it into 3 parts, one for each kid, and hid that around the yard. Then the map took them around the yard to find the awesome treasure box I created. Parenting in tandem like this feels like a new level of gold to me. I love […]

Fun Lunch Ideas
Our children live off of breakfast and lunch, and dinner could be forgotten all together if it wasn’t for pasta and pizza. (Even still those could be lunch easily anyways!). Because of this I myself get sick of making them the same thing over and over and try and find small things that aren’t a […]
