Living Outdoors With Kids: Finding Balance In Everyday Life
I like balance as a mom. I don’t know about you but I believe balance is needed in our everyday life. With that being said, I want my children to have a flexible lifestyle. That’s why I wanted to write this blog on living outdoors with kids and how we can find balance in everyday life. Growing up for me was completely different than how it is now. To be honest with you, we were mostly outdoors. In fact, we lived outdoors! No pun intended. There was not much to do indoors except occasionally watching one kids program at a set time of the day when I was the same…
How To Get Boys To Love Math
I am not a fan of math. In fact, it was my least favorite class. I just couldn’t understand what it was. It was just too complicated. I literally blew through my maths class in high school and college. I wanted nothing to do with it at all. Now I have boys who are at school and have to learn math. I am now putting on my math “thinking cap” to be able to help them with this task I so hated. I don’t want them to hate math as I did. I want them to be able to love doing it regardless. So I am here to take up…

I don’t know if you feel the same way I do, but let’s confess, kids’ activities can get quite pricey if you ask me. So I’m always up for the challenge of finding ways to save on kids’ activities. I am also always up for adventures with my boys as I have decided to create the memories I can with them before they get to the age where they don’t want to even be seen with me in public (Nah my kids would not do that!). So here are a few budget-friendly ways to save on kids’ activities that you can do with your kids as they grow, because let’s…
10 Fun Activities To Do With Kids
I love adventure! I am an “outdoorsy” person for the most part. My go-to place for relaxation is the beach. So is my family. We are the typical “beach bums”, adventurous type of family. We love to explore and find fun activities to do with kids especially when we get the time to do so. My husband and I were already the “adventurous type” before we had children. We loved going bike riding, ice skating, kayaking, ziplining, etc. It was just something we loved doing together as a couple. When the kids came along we thought that it would be great to continue our love for adventure with them. So…
How To Control Toddler Temper Tantrums
I am not an expert on toddler temper tantrums. In fact, I am still learning how to manage this phase in my children as they get older. This is my dilemma, my oldest (6) tantrums a bit here and there, and I am able to control it, however, my youngest (4) still gives me tantrums that I don’t quite like one bit. In fact, it sometimes leaves me hopelessly wondering where did I go wrong as a parent? However, the truth is, I can see the differences of how to manage them when I myself step back and really look at what helps to make the situation better rather than…

Here are some ideas and tips that I have used that may be of help to you as well to start the process early. This will no doubt reduce the hassle later on trying to…

How To Plan A Kids’ Birthday Party On A Budget
If you are like me, I am always planning a birthday party for my sons as the years go by. I like to create memories but let’s confess it. Birthday parties can get pretty expensive really quickly if you are not careful, especially when planning a kids’ birthday party on a budget. Both my kids had a 1st birthday party at an event space. My eldest had his birthday at The Florida Aquarium, while my youngest had his birthday at the Glazer Children’s Museum. They were hefty-priced birthday parties that I splurged on for their first birthday, but don’t think I want to repeat that every single year. So, here…
Benefits Of Teaching Your Child How To Swim
Teaching your child how to swim is an important activity that I encourage most parents to get done as soon as possible. Did you know that drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children? It’s shocking, isn’t it? Something that I believe can definitely be prevented if we as parents take the necessary precautions at all times. The most surprising thing as well is that it occurs most frequently at a pool or beach where one adult was supposedly watching the child but may have become distracted by a phone or conversations etc. Drowning occurs quickly in split seconds so being aware of your child’s whereabouts is…
