Instagram post 2171402043503982024_1614376024 Super simple activity alert and one I throw into our week as many times as possible! Find toys in your playroom and throw them into a water bin. Have your young child “fish” it out with a spoon, tea strainer or other scooping tool or cup. Then thank me on what a total win this simple activity is!! Woohoo! One of the pleasure of doing activities with a young child is that water and random toys can be amazing in their eyes. Share this easy #parentinghack with a friend!  #kidsactivities #funwithmama
Instagram post 2167712749222948605_1614376024 @Walmart just released their 2019 Walmart Toy Catalog! #sponsored My kids are going through the Toy Catalog and circling the toys they want. When they are done I'll add these items to their Wishlist on the #Walmart App. Whenever I'm at the store and I need a gift idea I can easily pull up the list with their favorites. It's so easy! Are you an on the spot purchaser when it comes to toys? Or do your kids put together a wish list too? Diyanah's loving the new singing Frozen 2 Elsa doll. Check out the Toy Catalog here: Walmart.com/toycatalog #WalmartToyBoard #AmericasBestToyShop
Instagram post 2167252973519337489_1614376024 Happy night of pretend play and make believe from my crew... Audrey from Descendants 3, a cat and Anakin Skywalker. (Minnie mouse is behind the camera!) #halloweencostumes #halloween2019 #halloweenkids #catcostume #anakinskywalker #descendants3 #deacendants #audreycostume
Instagram post 2167056017442226576_1614376024 Simple water based activity! I just threw in some random themed pieces and ping pong balls and my daughter enjoyed playing with this simple water play activity for an hour. First she began by throwing the ping pong balls into the water and then it turned into a water play activity. Keep those baby bath cups once they outgrow playing with them in the bath. They are wonderful for sensory play!
What activities do you have planned for today? #funwithmama #kidsactivities #waterplay
Instagram post 2166292683399038624_1614376024 I wanted to give you a peek into our Halloween Reading Book Nook area. A love for reading starts at home. Placing books with the front picture showing is a great way to catch your child's interest (especially for those young children who can't read) and changing out the books you showcase encourages the excitement. 
I am a book worm and I have A LOT of books at home. I've purchased most of these and now I also receive book gifts in the mail too. Children do better with less choices. That's why I select a few books to take out each week. For Halloween I took out 5 'new' books each week and now at the end of the month they are all out.
Some of my favorites here include:
- If you're spooky and you know it- This is too cute with a rhythm like the If You're Happy and You Know it song. Children can follow the actions. - Room On The Broom is a sure favorite.
- There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat (not pictured but it's in my daughters room) is another favorite. My daughter had me purchase all the Old Lady swallowed books.. they are AMAZING and great for memorization and sequencing.
- Spooky Pookie by Sandra Boynton is good for the younger crowd.
- Stumpkin is a new book about a sweet + gorgeous pumpkin without a stem. No one seems to pick him because of his lack of stem. It's a good book that pulls forward a lot of conversations and feelings.
Instagram post 2164799454753176331_1614376024 Use one word to define bedtime in your home. For my family, bedtime is about CONNECTION. It’s a time to get in those extra hugs, cuddles and kisses. It’s a time to rub backs, rub foreheads and fingers. It’s often where I hear random thoughts from my children’s day at school including happy and challenging moments. When those lights go off, it’s easy to bare your soul. (I mean, don’t your best ideas come to you right before you doze off to sleep.) On the blog I have posted about what bedtime looks like at our home (although it’s different every night, this is the jist of what we go for.) click the link in my profile to check it out.
✨After bath time or tooth brushing time we are all in pajamas and we either start reading a chapter book on paper or on one of our tablets. I also swap audiobooks out with read aloud books to give my voice a break and to give me time to relax with them too.  #bedtimeroutine #kidsbedtime #bedtimestory #petethecat #petethecatbooks
