Children's Activities

I recently received an adorable book called "Lollipop Seeds that Sprout for Kind Deeds: An Easter Tradition". I have been looking for new, fun traditions to add to our Easter fun each year. After reading it to my girls,...

Hello Everyone! It's February and the month of LOVE! We wanted to share some fun kids' crafts we've been doing. February is turning out to be a very busy month for us,  with my daughter's birthday and Valentine's Day....

If you are like me and LOVE celebrating and decorating the house for each and every fun holiday that approaches, then you will LOVE this post! Valentine's is one of my favorites hype up because it just means I...

Can you believe there is only 6 DAYS left until Christmas?? December has flown by, it's been full of traditions and family fun and I wouldn't have it any other way. I live for this time of the year...

I don't know about you but when the weather turns cold, it makes me want to bundle up and get out of the house to enjoy some Christmas decorations and run a few errands too! One of the places...

At our contributor's meeting last month, we all quickly got excited about the idea of having a play date each month where we did something to give back to the community. We are so happy to be starting this monthly "tradition" and hope...

Hi there! My daughter and I wanted to share with you some of the fun Thanksgiving crafts we have done together these past few weeks. Thanksgiving is perhaps my favorite holiday. I love having a day for family and...

The temps have been playing around with us but it is the middle of November so they are bound to give in and drop right?! RIGHT!? Well to celebrate the cooler weather and get our munchkins out and about...

I love doing crafts with my daughter, Little E. We especially love crafts that are tied to holidays. Halloween crafts are particularly fun. They are easy, and there are so many great ideas out there. I wanted to share...

This year marks the 3rd Annual Arizona PBS Nerd Walk and it is such a great family friendly event!  Are you a nerd  for PBS?  Science?  Math?  Comic books?  Everyone is a nerd for something!  Nerds of all kinds will...

The mornings are crisp, the sun is setting differently, and fall decorations are popping in store windows! For those Starbucks lovers out there, if the Pumpkin Spiced Lattes have graced us once again ... it  must be FALL!! I...

Any mama can agree that grocery shopping CAN be a wee bit tough with tots in stow! I have been shopping at my favorite Fry's store for YEARS. It is big, easy to maneuver and comes with a great Starbucks...

Summer is here!  Blistering hot summer… which means days of holing up inside, trying to keep kids entertained in ways that do not involve screens, and find ways to use up some energy when it’s just too roasting hot...

Well Summer is officially here! The heat has reached egg frying temps (well it sure feels like it) and the local splash pads are CRAZY slammed with so many kids that it is hard to find a water spout...

It has finally happened! My kids are old enough to start a family game night! I have been dreaming of this moment, and we tried a while back with Chutes and ladders but the girls got bored too easily...

This weekend we had the opportunity to meet up with some friends in Palm Springs for a mini-vacation.  There were 3 families, and 6 kids all under 6, so you can imagine we were quite the sight when going out...

No, I’m not talking about the restaurant chain, although at 26 weeks pregnant, that doesn’t sound half bad.  I’m talking about young children’s obsession with putting objects in and taking them out of containers.  Starting around 9 months, both...

Recently I was told by a fellow book lover about a local bookstore that I had to visit!  As I pulled up to the used bookstore about a month later, I thought to myself that this may be where...

I am a Mom of a two and a half year old and a four year old, AND I nanny for two little boys that are the exact same age. I am always trying to think of fun ideas...

For some reason, my 2 ½ year old loves to get into our entertainment center and pull out all of the games. He has a playroom full of toys, but for “Miles the Explorer,” there’s just something about being...

I don't know about you, but I am loving this spring weather! We are trying to take advantage of it by spending as much time outside as possible before we start melting! As much as my kids love playing outside,...

I'm so excited to share with you a unique book, family tradition, and experience today! A couple weeks ago, Joni sent me a copy of "The Night before My Birthday Book," which was perfect timing because my daughter turned...

Hello lovely mamas! I am usually posting on our West Valley Cooking Club recaps and recipes but I am honored to be adding another theme to my writing... creative moments with our kids! I don't know about you but...

I don’t know about you, but since having children, Valentine’s Day has taken on a whole new meaning for me.  I still think it is incredibly important to celebrate with your spouse and take some time for just the...
