Mother’s Day is right around the corner and the moms in our lives deserve great gifts. Below are some great tips and MANY gift ideas for moms that will hopefully help you find the perfect Mother’s Day present. If you are a mom, you could gain some wonderful gift ideas for yourself and then subtly (or not, I find being clear and direct works best) drop a hint or two.
Our oldest is about to turn seven and I now feel I have a good grasp on what six-year-olds really enjoy. Below you’ll find gift ideas in a variety of categories for 6-year-olds. I never differentiate gifts or toys based on gender because what you enjoy doing and playing with as a child has NOTHING to do with your gender. Try to get to know the child you are shopping for and their particular interests but these gift ideas have been real winners for many kids we know.
I love having a vacation to look forward to. Even if that vacation is only an hour away for a quick weekend! A couple of weeks ago we planned a short indoor water park weekend and I have to say my expectations were exceeded. It was a stress-free weekend with five adults and three toddlers. Here are my tips for planning a fun indoor water park trip of your own.
Back in October, the kids and I tagged along to Minneapolis on my husband’s work conference trip. Several things were rough about the trip (baby refusing to sleep, horrible parking ramps, hotel pool closures, etc) but the outings I planned during the day were awesome! If you find yourself in the Twin Cities with young kids you might want to check them out.
These seasonal weekly calendars are the most used and requested printables I have ever made. I don’t go a day without looking at our weekly calendar. Each week it’s filled out with our schedule posted prominently on our refrigerator. The calendars help with reminders of all kinds (school, medical appointments, activities, etc) and help facilitate communication between myself and my husband. Plus, every night at dinner we glance over at it to discuss the next day’s plan with our kids. I hope you find these calendar printables as helpful as we do.
