Most of us will remain in our homes for Easter because we are under COVID-19 lockdown. Here’s how we can make sure Easter remains special.

I can’t remember a single Easter in my life that didn’t include attending church. For many of us, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this Easter will include a number of “firsts” in regards to how we celebrate. Thankfully, even for folks under the most stringent stay-at-home orders, there are ways to celebrate. Here are 8 ways to make … [Read more...] about 8 Ways to Celebrate Easter During the COVID-19 Lockdown

Prayer is an important part of Lent. This kid-friendly paper chain Lenten prayer calendar will help your whole family engage in prayer this Lent.

It seems like we were celebrating the start of 2020 just yesterday. In reality, it’s been nearly two months! We’re already to Ash Wednesday and Lent.

January 9, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

With siblings, closeness and conflict often go hand in hand. How can parents foster the closeness and minimize the conflict?

My sister and I were really close when we were growing up, but we also fought like cats and dogs. I’m seeing this same pattern emerge with my own kids. My three daughters are best of friends, but they sometimes feel frustrated with each other and end up fighting. Based on what I hear from other parents, this seems to be fairly typical. … [Read more...] about 7 Ways to Help Your Kids Form Close Sibling Relationships

How to Keep Unbelieving Kids from Ruining Santa for Kids Who Believe

December 16, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

My kids don’t believe in Santa. How can I keep them from ruining the tradition for kids who still believe?

My kids know who Santa is, but they don’t believe he is a real person. They enjoy him as a fictional character, just as they do fairy tale princesses and superheroes. This isn’t the case for most of our friends and family members. The children in these families believe that Santa is real, and this is an important part of their Christmas … [Read more...] about How to Keep Unbelieving Kids from Ruining Santa for Kids Who Believe

With this printable Christmas light scavenger hunt, your family can have fun noting the decorations you see as you take in the sights of Christmas.

One of the things my kids really enjoyed doing this past fall was going on a scavenger hunt. We used a printable that I created a couple of years ago (find it here). They had so much fun walking through our neighborhood in search of the items pictured on the printable. I’ve made a similar printable for a Christmas light scavenger hunt! … [Read more...] about Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt

Topped with vanilla glaze, whipped cream, and sprinkles, these homemade Birthday Cake Pancakes will get your kid’s birthday off to a special start!

The oldest of my three daughters had her fifth birthday earlier this month! She loves sprinkles, so I decided to make Birthday Cake Pancakes for breakfast as part of our celebration.

40 Questions for Kids to Ask Their Grandparents

September 5, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

These questions will help kids learn biographical information, family history details, life lessons, and practical skills from their grandparents.

A few years ago I wrote a post about the importance of grandparents. I noted in that post that grandparents have a wealth of knowledge that they can pass along to their grandkids and that they help connect grandkids to their history. Given kids can learn so many things from their grandparents, perhaps it is best not to take a laissez-faire … [Read more...] about 40 Questions for Kids to Ask Their Grandparents

The Dirty Truth About How Often Kids (and Adults) Need to Bathe

August 26, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Do we need to take a shower or bath every day to be healthy? If not, how often is often enough?

I know many families that include baths as part of their nightly bedtime routines. I always figured this would be the case in my household, but once I became a mom I realized that I didn’t have time to bathe my baby each day. Additionally, her pediatrician recommended that we bathe her no more than twice a week because she had … [Read more...] about The Dirty Truth About How Often Kids (and Adults) Need to Bathe
