…Get the whole family involved in spreading love this February with this simple and meaningful tradition…a Valentine’s Day Kindness Countdown for kids!
Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to talk to our kids about kindness…and put those words into practice, too!

…Cabin fever is REAL. If your kids are bouncing off the walls this winter, try these low-prep activities that will get kids moving and playing creatively. They might just save your sanity.
Are your kids bored, cranky, or downright crazy right now? Blame it on cabin fever.

…This simple addition game for kids is a fun way to practice basic math skills by adapting another game you probably already have at home.

Most people have plenty of Christmas traditions, but what about New Year’s Eve? How does your family celebrate?

…Help your kids show gratitude for their gifts with these Christmas printable thank you cards. The simple fill-in-the-blank style makes it easy and fun for kids to say, “Thanks!”
Christmas is over. Whew. We made it, mamas. I don’t know about you, but I was one tired elf by Christmas morning.
It was a good day though, and now the the new toys and gifts we received are scattered throughout my house like confetti.
