Places That Offer Free Activities for Kids
Activities for kids can get expensive, especially when you’re on a budget. I love to plan these activities to keep my kids involved and well-rounded. However, they come with a price tag that let’s confess, adds up really quickly. All the sporting activities, after-school programs, outdoor activities, and theme parks, all come with a price. That however does not mean…
Teaching Kids About Road Safety
My kids are growing up so fast and are active in sports. They love to go bike riding or ride with their scooters. When we are on the road, however, I get so frightened by all the cars parked at their houses that can pull out at any time, or the cars racing down the road at full speed. As…
Staying Fit As A Mom
Before having children, especially boys, I did whatever I felt like doing. I ate all I wanted to, exercise only when I felt like it, and didn’t really care much about the need to exercise. Fast forward to having two adventurous, mostly outdoors kinda kids, I was struggling to keep up with them energy-wise. I don’t know what it is…

Discipline From A Mom’s Perspective
This is a “tricky” topic if you ask me. I quite frankly don’t know much about discipline. I have observed my parent’s way of discipline, but I haven’t really established my own fully as I am new to this with a 5 and a 6-year-old. However, with the “little” that I do know, I have observed some things along the…
What Being A Mom Of Boys Taught Me
Do you remember that popular song back in the 60s I believe that said “Boys will be boys!”. I never imagined I would be saying that to myself as a mom of boys, every now and again and finally understanding that “boys, will be boys”, no matter what. Now that I have two boys of my own ages 5 and…
Why Dating When Married With Kids Is Important
I remember the days when we had no kids and we were “young” “wild” and “free” to explore life in its many facets by being adventurous as much as we could, and sleeping in when we wanted to. We called the “shots” for the most part and “dating when married with kids” was never on our agenda. Fast forward to…
Teaching Your Kids How To Do Simple Chores At Home
My kids are at an older age, and I believe that they can help at home with simple chores. Even as young as age 2, there are actually age-appropriate chores for kids to do. So far, my kids have done simple chores, such as putting their plates away, keeping their toy rooms tidy, helping with food preparation, and also spreading…
