April's Favorite
I am a mom who lives traditionally in this modern world. I appreciate efficient, affordable, lasting products that enhance the home environment and aid me in my work to raise intelligent, virtuous children and create a beautiful home. As a wife and mother who desires to uphold an atmosphere of peace, joy and learning, I love finding pieces that make this possible. In our home. Sunday is a day that is set aside for two things: God and family. I have made it a habit to properly

The Best Climbing Toy
In a previous article, I wrote about the importance of climbing and how great it is, not only for a child's physical development, but also for their cognitive development. If you are interested in reading that article, it can be found here . Today, I want to write about our favorite climbing toy. The climbing dome. My mother-in-law bought this for us when my eldest was two-years-old. It has survived the past six years and a move from one house to another. My children play on

Girls Night with My Girls
I love girls night with my girls. For a few years now, my mom, sisters and I have all enjoyed “ladies night” on Thursday nights twice a month. It was a great time! I believe that female companionship is so important for women and, in some ways, crucial for moms, especially those that stay at home. Seeing the benefit of ladies night, I reflected one day that it was time to start a girls' night with my own two girls. They are five and seven years of age, and they love spending

Dance Parties and Chit-Chats
There is a part of every mom that wants to be the "fun mom;" that lovely, laughing mom that you see in movies whose house is clean as she runs through it chasing her laughing children. Are you that mom? Do you believe that you can be that mom? Well, you can. You just have to choose it. Early on in my motherhood, I wanted so badly to be that mom, but I told myself that that just "wasn't me", or I would allow myself to get into the cycle of being too busy to just stop and play

Just Build a Fort
Did you ever build a fort as a child? Some of my favorite memories are with my siblings, as we built forts in the living room with every blanket we could find in the house. As a mother, I initially had a hard time allowing my children to do this because it just meant a mess for me to clean up later. Do not make the mistake that I did in being afraid of messes. Mom has told me over and over, "Life is messy, and it's ok." Well, it turns out that she is right. I have grown as a

Spring Fun for Children
Ah, spring! This is probably my second favorite season next to fall. By the time spring rolls around, I am tired of the snow and the cold and ready for some good, strong sunshine! My children love to be out in the spring with all the rain and mud. Quality rainboots and umbrellas are probably some of the best investments that I ever made for my children, mostly because the children use both items DAILY during the spring season. Aside from splashing in all the mud puddles, thes

Fall Fun for Children
Oh, the fall! Such a cozy season! While we spend much time reading by the fire, I like to make sure we still get our daily outing. In truth, fall is my favorite season; so, it does not take much convincing to get me out of doors. Aside from yard clean-up, vegetable harvesting, and spontaneous games of "mom-ster" where I am chasing and capturing my kids, here are a few activities that we really enjoy and might even do multiple times in the same week: Nature Scavenger Hunt —Thi

Winter Fun for Children
Baby, it's cold outside... and the motivation to go out is hard to find. I give myself goals for getting my children outside because it is incredible for their physical and mental health, and mine as well. Typically, I try to have us spend at least an hour outside in snow, rain, or shine. It is always well worth it! But what are you to do once you are out there? Here are some of our go-to winter activities: Food Coloring in the Snow —Purchase condiment bottles from the grocer

Summer Fun for Children
We love being outdoors! Whether it is in the mountains or in our own backyard, I love finding something creative for my kids to do! Here are some fun summer activities that take little to no preparation and have kept my children busy for hours: Butcher Paper Painting —String out a long section of butcher paper (however long you think your children will use.)
