Parenting Ideas, Simplified
We all know that parenting is anything but simple. As parents, the idea of coming up with things to do with our kids can be daunting. It can feel like yet another thing on a seemingly endless to-do list. Yet we want them to do something other than sit in front of screens (which, don’t get me wrong, have their time and place). It is for this reason that I started this blog. I’m here to provide you with easy, fun, and meaningful activities you can do with your kids. While fun, they will also have an educational aspect. I also hope to save you time and money by using things you likely already have at home.
✓ Simple Ideas
✓ Fun and Engaging Activities
✓ Saves You Precious Time
In this blog, I use my 15 years of experience as an educator as well as my experience as a parent myself to create activities you can replicate at home. Like you, I am very busy. I am balancing a full-time job, starting a business with my husband, and all while parenting three amazing humans. The activities I include in my blog are the same ones I do with my own children. Therefore, you will often see them in my photos and me referencing them in my posts. Come join me on my adventure to attempt to simplify this crazy world of parenting!
