Fun Activities for Kids

Hi Reader,

How is your week starting out so far?

For us, it's the last week before school starts, so we're soaking up the free time. However, I also started getting a few hours for my very part-time psychometrist job so I've been busy with that.

By very part time, I mean that I hadn't heard from my boss for almost 3 months before getting two new clients this week. Also, over the past 9 months of working, I've worked a TOTAL of 55 hours. So VERY part time.

For us though, it works for now.

We'll see with the kids' different online school schedule this year if I'm still able to work in the afternoons or not. Last year they didn't need me as much in the afternoons so I could work a few hours here and there but this year might be a different story. Time shall tell.

Anyway, enough about me.

One of my most popular blog posts right now is all about Preschool Workbooks, so if you're doing preschool at home with your child or children, this is a good one for you!

Preschool Workbooks

These workbooks were great for our twins! They include letters, numbers, colors, tracing, animals, and more!

Preschool Crafts

Crafts are great for little ones but it can be hard to know what they'll actually like. Here are our tried and true favs!

Don't have preschoolers? That's alright, I've got some craft ideas for older kids too! I just updated this blog post as my kids keep loving new things!

My cat Suzie 16 years ago soon after she found me

. Hi Reader, I hope your week has started out better than ours. I don't mean to be a downer but my blog is "The Way it Really Is" and it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Trigger warning: death is discussed. A week ago was the 9 year anniversary of when my dear grandpa died, whom I was really close to all my life. Saturday was the 10 year anniversary of when my father-in-law died of cancer at the young age of 65. He never got to meet our kids, which is so sad for all. He would have had so much...

My First Children's Book! Woodland Fall Friends for Ages 3-6

. Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well so far! This week I finally did something that I've been wanting to do for decades, I wrote a children's book! It's full of cute fall graphics, rhyming words, and is perfect for ages 3-6. Though I have to admit, I read it to my kids last night (7yo twins and 9yo) and they loved it too! It's an eBook that you can purchase on Etsy or Teachers Pay Teachers. You can use it digitally or print it out. Now that I've written and published one eBook I'm...
