Posted by Christie Reimer on

We are in full Valentine's Day crafting mode over here in our house We have been working on kid approved crafts, decor ideas, and gifts for classmates. This one is a great idea that can check each one of these categories off your list. Whole wheat cinnamon salt dough ornaments.

New Years in Quarantine
Posted by Christie Reimer on

Everything this year has been different. So why it is no surprise that we will all be bringing in the new year different, we may not all have ideas of what you can do, but here are a few ideas. Having little kids, the idea of not going out on New Year’s Eve is not so much of a new thing, but the last couple of years we have tried to either have an early New Years party with other families with kids, or gone outside to do some skating and watch fire works with other families and...

During the holidays when you are not expecting anyone, and the panic starts.
Posted by Christie Reimer on

Oh no!! We have all been there before. This year may just look a little bit different. You hear a knock at your door. You are not expecting anyone, and the panic starts. You look out your window, and standing back from your door is someone who you know. A friend, a family member, a neighbour, co-worker; whoever it is, they were unannounced. They saw you in the window, and now you have to answer the door. They are so sweet. They just came to drop off a little something for you, for the holidays. I don’t...

The elf is on the last half until he or she goes back to the North Pole for the year. How are you doing mama? For the first 10 days our resident Elf Sparkle Heart was in a jar in quarantine. Even then, there were so many times she had to be moved…after I went to bed. Now, we are at the...

How do we make this Christmas season feel normal????
Posted by Christie Reimer on

Christmas is getting closer and closer. And it does not look like it ever looked before. With the activities and festivities, and parties, and gatherings not happening, we can find ourselves falling into a rut, and maybe not celebrating or being as cheerful as we normally would. I know for a lot, holidays are hard enough without the added stress of any restrictions or worries. Sometimes getting out to preplanned activities were what we needed for any type of resemblance of normalcy. Here’s what we did over the weekend. Go skating. I am not talking...
