June 6, 2024 Back By Popular Demand: Bluey’s Big Play – The Stage Show

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored. All opinions are my own. I have to admit that Bluey was not a show that we regularly watch in our house. Right now it is all Pokemon all day every day, cringe. So I had some catching up to do. I made a Bluey cake to get us in […]

May 23, 2024 Take Me Out to the WooSox

At the beginning of the season, we decided to take all the boys in our grade (which is only about 16) to a WooSox game with another friend – a joint party. After some back and forth, we decided to rent out the Shaw’s visitors deck. It was a private roped off area that was […]

June 8, 2021 Any Reason to Celebrate: Keep it Normal For the Kids

This year it has been hard to “keep it normal” for the kids. For instance, we started this year off in a hybrid model for school, where they only met half the class in person and the other half they only saw on the computer. So between last year and this year, we, as a […]

June 1, 2021 Jake and The Neverland Pirates: Treasure Hunt and Crafts

My kids love a good treasure hunt. What they don’t realize is that what takes them 15 minutes to complete, took me a week to plan! I have talked before about how we went from zero screen time before the pandemic to a few shows a day. One of our shows we like to watch […]

May 11, 2021 Snack Attack: Grazing Boards For All Occassions

While we may not be entertaining, I still like to make grazing boards. They’re fun to put together, they’re pretty to look at, and my kids love them. Here are some boards that I put together over the course of the quarantine. I love the leaf tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s, which is also where […]

May 6, 2021 How Much Screen Time Are Your Kids Getting?

Before the pandemic, we didn’t have any screen time. I’m not saying that to brag. When the kids were at home when the pandemic started, we quickly went from no screen time to a few shows a day. That’s in addition to the time they spent on the computer for classes. At 2, my youngest […]

April 29, 2021 Driveway Birthday Parties…The New Trend?

Can I be honest for a minute? The one thing I actually don’t mind about the pandemic is that birthday parties have gone away. (EEK, I admitted it!) The BIG ones, the ones where you invite the whole class, you know what I’m talking about. And if you had more than one kid, forget about […]

October 16, 2020 Quarantine Activities For Kids

We are how many months into this quarantine and I’m sure that like me, you are struggling for new things to do with your kids. I don’t know about you, but those rainy days kill us – we are trapped inside of the house with no way to burn off that excess energy. We do […]

April 5, 2020 Easter

With the state that the world is in right now, Easter is bound to look a little different this year. For us, I usually host a neighborhood Easter egg hunt. We have about 25 littles and 50 adults come together for an afternoon of fun. This year we had to cancel, but hopefully we will […]
