Funky Kid's Activities

It was one of those mornings, I was doing dishes and my toddler was quiet in the living room w the TV on. I felt a nudge to go check on him but put it off just long enough to find him creating a masterpiece with a sharpie on my laptop. Ahhhhhh!!!!! I didn’t know […]

We decided to finally go berry picking at a local Berry Farm!! Hurray!! We had such a wonderful time!! (well, except for the rain downpour in the middle of our tasking, but then again, it was refreshing from the heat!) For only $10 a gallon (equivalent of about 10 lbs of berries) we came home […]

Make smoothies after they’ve been playing outside! Here’s my dreamsickle smoothie recipe! Play with water toys outside… even if that means a kid ends up camping out in a bucket of water! Lol… The dollar Tree store is a great place to get cheap water toys! Make homemade pizzas! These I found at the Dollar […]

Fun-Day Friday… We did some reading, to work their brains. My oldest (7yrs) is the only one who can actually read fluently, so he read some books he got for his birthday, and the middle two (3 & 5 yrs) read the read-along books in separate rooms so their audio wouldn’t bother anyone. I set […]

If your kids are like mine, then when the summer hits I feel like I’m spending a fortune just keeping enough juice in the fridge to keep them all hydrated. Yes sometimes they do drink water, but sometimes they need a little extra boost of something that will replenish the energy stores. After a long […]

After a summer of chaos and stress last year, I decided this summer would be different but I had no idea how!! With four little ones between one and seven, honestly, I was quietly dreading the chaos of summer, until I came across this woman’s BRILLIANT plan! I adapted it for our family of course, […]

This was another idea I got from Pinterest. It worked out great, was easy to do, and cheap!! I got twizzler pull and peels, pirouline cookies and gummy worms all at the Dollar Tree. I would recommend getting the longest twizzlers possible!

With end of the year fun comes lots of little treats needing to be made for classroom friends and end-of-the-year parties. I have two kids in school , both with birthdays this month too, ironically enough! So, since I feel like I always have to scour Pinterest for ideas for stuff, here is the inspiration […]

A fun, cheap, ooey gooey activity for the kids is: homemade SLIME!! Thanks for the inspiration, here! This is a great little hands-on play time for the kids, (especially boys, I’m sure!) full of sensory fun! You only need 2 INGREDIENTS, plus a little food coloring. Here’s how: (please forgive the quality of my pictures, […]

These are a lot of ideas I sat down and threw down on paper that we’ve either tried or wanted to try, along with some other little ideas I found here and there online. If you’re like me, I feel like I spend half the day sometimes staring into space as I mop or sweep […]

Today we were bored and I decided to let my boys LIVE a little…and to keep them from screaming at each other in their boredom. So I filled two pans with shaving cream, dropped in various colors of dye, stripped the boys down to their undies and gave them utensils to make a “painting” outside. […]

With baby #4 on the way, it felt like it took me FOREVER to get any idea on what to do for the nursery. Finally, in the last few weeks of my pregnancy, creativity slapped me and I’ve been in a hurry to get everything done! My favorite is the wall Mural I painted which […]

I tried forever to get these bubbas to smile w their smoothies but it didn’t work. Finally I was like “let’s ‘cheese!’ Together!” That worked. So here we are, cheeesing it up on a 70 something degree day enjoying the weather outside! Smoothies topped it off as fabulous… what did you do today?

I don’t know about you, but spending a load of money to get specialized “children’s chewable” vitamins, or the liquid form of vitamins for my children is not my idea of economical wisdom. Not to mention, there have been many times I’ve been needing to give my son a dose of zinc for that cold […]
