Stuff to do with the kids

A big driver of how I look at spending time with my kids as a working mom is remembering that my weekends and time off IS their childhood. No matter if it’s a nasty day out, make the most of it ❤️

2025/9/3 Edited to

... Read moreSpending quality time with kids, especially on weekends and days off, can significantly enrich their childhood experience. When the weather turns rainy or gloomy, it's the perfect opportunity to engage in creative activities that keep the whole family entertained and connected. Baking cookies together offers not just a delicious treat but also a hands-on learning experience where children can practice measuring, mixing, and following instructions. Building a blanket fort transforms your living room into a magical hideaway, sparking imagination and a sense of adventure. Kids often love the cozy space for reading books or playing pretend games. For a refreshing change, jumping in puddles can turn a dull, rainy day into joyful moments full of laughter and energy. Including arts and crafts supplies in your child's activities encourages creativity and fine motor skills development. Drawing, painting, or making simple DIY crafts allows kids to express themselves and gain confidence. As a working mom, embracing these simple yet meaningful activities during your limited free time reminds us all that childhood moments are precious. Regardless of the weather, these shared experiences help nurture strong bonds and create memories that kids will cherish for years to come.

Will you do this to your kids?
I was spanked way too much as a child. Bare bottom with a leather belt. I’d get whipped multiple times over tiny stuff like refusing to eat my broccoli or forgetting to hang up my coat. It never felt right and I’m curious if others went through similar. Personally, I think spanking kids is wrong

Creative kids
Lately I’ve realized that when my kids are extra emotional, bored, clingy, or bouncing off the walls… they usually don’t need more stuff or more screen time. They need more creativity. More paint. More pretend play. More forts in the living room. More messes. More “look what I made!” moments.
