Active Arcade for Gamers to Get up and Move
January 3, 2022
I found a fantastic app called Active Arcade for gamers to get up and move. This isn’t exercising; this is playing! This is a sponsored post for Active Arcade. However, all opinions are mine. Gaming is something I never understood. I dabbled in it when I was younger and played tetris once in a while but I never understood the obsession. Then I had two boys. They weren't introduced to gaming for a long time but when they finally were, all bets were off. I had to put timers on the game playing with their Nintendo Switch. I found that game consoles weren't healthy for them. I'd rather they get up and play outside or something more active. These days, with them staying home more, the obsession has intensified, …

Amazing Earth Day Activities for Kids
July 31, 2021
Are you looking for Earth Day activities for the kids? I have a fun list of things to do for Earth Day! Earth Day is every day around here, but the official day is April 22nd. But I did not grow up educated about how to keep a healthy, sustainable environment and environmental protection. Now, times have changed and it's my responsibility to teach my boys about the environment. Have a Beach Clean up for Earth Day Recycling was not big in our house either, until I moved out on my own. When I started college, I learned about global warming, deforestation, and pollution. Today, I take my kids to "beach clean ups" and we recycle, especially reusing boxes and containers to store toys and nick knacks. Plant a …

Best Rock Painting Idea for Kids

I found the best rock painting idea for my boys. They love collecting rocks for DIY rock painting. This is their creative outlet. Their way to paint their thoughts and feelings on a painted rocks craft. We are always looking for fun rock painting ideas. It's not hard to learn how to paint rocks. Rock crafts are really popular with kids. My boys love collecting rocks but you can also get different types of rocks like river rocks.

How to make Chocolate PlayDough; a Fun Activity for Kids
February 10, 2019
If you're looking for a fun activity to do with the kids, check out this chocolate playdough recipe! It's a great sensory activity and smells like chocolate! By now, you would think that I know how to make chocolate playdough, but I've honestly never thought about it until my 4-year-old's teacher asked me to make it for the class. We've made regular play dough (also called Play-Doh), but never scented. I'm not going to say no to my son's teacher, right? But then it opened the doors to other things like mud play dough and poop playdough. Only a boymom could understand why anyone would want to make poop play dough. My boys are obsessed with anything that is related to poop (farting, burping, etc.). Playdough has …
