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 […]

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