The snow is officially done here in Ontario (I hope you are listening Mother Nature – we are officially done … please). And this means it is time for some fun in the garden with my kids! Over the last few years I have really taken to vegetable gardening. I am far, far, far from…
Seed Germination for Kids – The Results!
A little while ago I wrote a post on seed germination for kids. In that post, I told you I would do a follow up post on the activities we did as the seeds were growing, and about the results of which seeds grew fastest (or grew at all!) Wonderful news! You no longer need…
Egg-cellent Easter Egg Hunt Ideas!
You know how sometimes you do the same thing, year after year, just because it is what you have always done, year after year? That might sound deep – but it’s not. I’m just talking about Easter Egg Hunts. I pride myself in being creative and original. I love coming up with cool ideas for…
Welcoming Spring with my Little Ones
I am so happy to be partnering with Oak Meadow to bring you this post today. I cannot believe I am writing these words but … HAPPY SPRING! We did it! We made it through the winter! Never mind the fact that there is still a world of white outside my door – the promise…
Seed Art Ideas for Kids!

Obstacle Course Ideas
Well Christmas is over and the New Year has begun! It is just about time when this Mama hits the February slump. The excitement of the snow has warn off, but the promise of spring is still so (so) far away. With the icy cold weather here for at least another 3 months, and the…
Welcoming winter with my little ones.
I am so pleased to be partnering with Oak Meadow today to bring you this post about welcoming winter. It always seems so strange to me how ‘winter’ comes far before the seasons officially change. Today is indeed the first day of winter and yet winter weather has been here for so very long already!…
Hide and Seek Tag on a Whole New Level
I am so excited to partner with ArmoGear today to bring you this post on their Laser Tag Set. This post contains affiliate links. Hide and seek has always been a favourite around here. Lately though, it’s been hide and seek tag. I must admit – not my personal favourite. Especially with the boys getting…
Embossed Tin Leaves
The cold weather has settled here in my neck of the woods. Well, it settled a few weeks ago and then vanished and summer returned! But it is back again, and this time I do believe it will stay. We are in fact having that early Fall weather that includes layering up and starting the…
