Spring is in full bloom all around us here in New England (finally!). And with it, lots of sunny days in the great outdoors. This year, Big M more than ever is full of questions and wants to know the names of all the flowers! We recently made our own…
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hands-on-Prints books. I received books to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. Books are probably the most prevalent, and most loved, toy in our house. Big M’s library started before she was even born,…
Today was the big day… we finally got to find out whether M3 is Team Blue or Team Pink! And something you first time moms might not be aware of, there’s also always an off-chance when you go for your 20-week anatomy scan that your little peanut may not cooperate,…
Growing up in Texas, there’s a lot of state pride ingrained in you from an early age. Come every March and April, there are fields upon fields of blue bonnets as far as the eye can see – so many, and all left to flourish, untouched! The blue bonnet is…
I recently received an amazing set of books from Hands-On-Prints. Stay tuned for my full review next week, but one of the books immediately became Big M’s favorite. Around the World from A to Z, by Christinia Cheung and Han Tran, is a beautifully illustrated alphabet book. Inspired by Montessori…
Happy Friday! That means it’s time for our favorite weekly link-up, and more importantly, time for the weekend… hopefully all the content shared by our fellow kids’ activity bloggers will give you some inspiration to make the most of your weekend! Last Weekend Along with the rest of America, we…
A few months back, when I couldn’t take Big M’s requests to read the same Fancy Nancy book for the 100th time in a row, I decided to change up our bedtime reading routine and start reading chapter books! She fell in love with The Wizard of Oz and has…
As I mentioned last week, Big M and I have been reading Charlotte’s Web at bedtime, inspiring many of our daytime activities, or ‘projects’ as she likes to call them. Our next Charlotte’s Web Words project channeled our inner Templeton, as we worked on not only word formation, but also…
Big M and I have been reading Charlotte’s Web at bedtime these last few weeks. Due largely to the story, Big M has become increasingly interested in word formation, and we have made several projects this week featuring Charlotte’s web words. Today, taking a little inspiration from Parenting Chaos’ Dinosaur…
Happy Friday! And into the second week of May, it seems our Spring has ended and Summer has arrived… but after our interminable Winter this year, I’m not complaining. Instead, we’ve been making the most of the beautiful weather and enjoying lots of fresh air and sunshine. We Love Weekends…
Toddlers can be a tireless, ball of energy. In constant perpetual motion, they only seem to slowdown to sleep… and sometimes, they even fight that! The good news is they are also easily and endlessly amused by the simplest, household objects. Today I am sharing a list of common household…

As always, bloggers, link up your best family-friendly fun, activities, crafts, and readers, check out all the great content to fill your family’s weekend with fun. Last…
A few months ago, I had my fill of Big M’s bedtime reading selections. She has a tendency to fall in love with a book and want to read the same one, every night, for weeks on end. There are only so many times you can read the same Fancy…
Signs of spring have been popping up all around us finally… first puddles from melting snow, then buds on the trees, next daffodils popping open, and most vibrant of all, forsythia in bright, golden bloom everywhere. Since moving to Connecticut nearly 9 years ago now, I have learned that forsythia…
Earth Day is next week. In celebration, the girls and I have been exploring all about seeds, plants and gardening this week. It all started when Big M went to Home Depot with the hubby last weekend and the cashier gave her a tiny pot of sprouting grass… We let…
Happy Friday! And welcome back to We Love Weekends, a weekly link-up party I host with four of my fellow kids’ activity bloggers. It gives our fellow bloggers a chance to share their great content, and a chance for you to get a wealth of great ideas to help your…
We have had so much fun from my dust covered golf bag this last month. Starting with our Backyard Golf Ball Hunt, to refining the girls’ fine motor skills with Golf Tee Challenge, and Big M’s favorite to date – Create a Creature with Golf Tees. On Monday, we were…
The Ms love to participate in the kitchen – it’s an easy place to keep them occupied, involved, and there is so much to learn! Big M has known all her letters for awhile but is just beginning to learn to write them, while Lil’ M is just learning them…
The Masters Tournament is this weekend!!! And for those mommas out there who don’t share my love of golf (it was an acquired taste for me as well that I only got once I started playing myself), the Masters is one of the four major tournaments annually, and unlike other…
