It’s a New Year

It’s New Year’s Day and time to start some new family traditions. If possible, find something to do out of doors. It may be a picnic or maybe gather up the sleds and make use of the snow. Hot chocolate after a day on the slopes sounds awfully good! But the main point is to […]

Freak Street… for the older kids ;) December 30th

Give the kids a week out of school and they are bored. That’s why I’m telling you about this site. It looks like so much fun that I might even do it. Yeah, I guess there is still a lot of kid in me. ;)
Anyway, let the older kids map your town, looking for the […]

Balloon Twisting for Kids - December 28th

Another interesting passtime for kids who suddenly find themselves with nothing to do and that seems to happen quite a bit from what I hear.

Smoked Turkey Tortilla Wraps - December 23rd

There has to be nothing worse than opening up the lunch box and finding a boring old sandwich. Trust me, my kids told me if I was slacking, so I actually picked up a cookbook devoted to kids lunches and told them to mark what they liked. It worked and suprisingly enough, most of what […]

Santa Bell Ornament for Tweens

As far as I’m concerned, you simply can’t have too many decorations for your house and it it keeps your kids occupied, even better. So, this project will work for both tween boys and girls.
