Do you want to know my favorite thing about summer? It’s how easy it is to throw together a fun, last minute summer activity. Chances are if there’s water involved, then the kids are having a blast. This is why easy sensory play ideas are so awesome. Every single day when we go outside, we are filling the water table…
Sensory bottles are one of my favorite ways to make a holiday more exciting, and this 4th of July sensory bottle was a hit with my kids. This sensory activity keeps the kids busy as they make the sensory bottle and watch the glitter and small objects swirl together and settle back into the bottom. Making a sensory bottle is…
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays, and in my eyes, it’s the highlight of summer. On the 4th of July, my family normally celebrates by going to a barbeque, playing in the water, spending time relaxing outside and watching fireworks. I also try to do something fun to teach my kids about the meaning of the day. This…
Whether it is for a kid/parent date, a special day for your birthday boy, or a day that’s just all about [name of child here], there are plenty of reasons to give your child a perfect day.

Father’s Day is one week away, can you believe it?! If you’re anything like me, you haven’t done your shopping yet and need some Father’s Day Gift Ideas. Luckily, if we order on Amazon, it’ll still be here on time. Amazon is literally my go-to for shopping. They offer a wide variety of products, and they suggest new stuff to…

Being a homeowner is so exciting. The sense of freedom that comes with owning your own home is pretty amazing, and you may feel like nothing could go wrong. Lots of things can go wrong in your home, however, unless you schedule home maintenance services. The worst part of being a homeowner? The moment you realize that there’s more to…
Mornings are hectic if you wake up at the same time as your kids. You won’t be able to have even a couple minutes of quiet time before the crazy-ness of morning begins. Getting kids ready for school, daycare, or whereever else you have to go that day can lead to feeling stressed. This is why it is important to…
Spring is FINALLY here and while the temperatures in Michigan still keep slipping into the high 30’s, I think we will soon get some relief. Since next week is supposed to be significantly warmer, I knew I had to move quickly and take the list of things to do this spring out of my notebook and turn it into an…
Mmmmm tomatoes. One of my all time favorite foods. I can’t say the same for the rest of my family, however, but realistically, your child should eat tomatoes every day.
