I am completely shocked at how many people viewed, shared, and are participating in the 28 Days of Activities (+Free Printable) that was published a couple of weeks ago. Initially, I made the calendar for my kids and then thought that some of my followers may enjoy it as well. If you missed out then…
When I created the 28 Days of Activities calendar my kids were immediately excited for each day’s activity. To be honest, it also has been helping me stay motivated each day while we are all practicing social distancing.

It feels crazy to the point of unbelievable and I am pretty sure that everyone feels that way. A few days ago I…

I was beyond nervous the first time we decided to drive 10 hours straight with two little kids. I thought for sure my sanity would be lost somewhere on the highway. In order to survive the trip I immediately decided we would need an Ipad. Then, I worried that if I let them watch a…
