summer break ootd So everyone’s talking about a summer break ootd 

So everyone’s talking about a 90s summer with their kids and I’m loving it! I grew up in that era when summers were simple. My kids will be enjoying days outside at the pool, running through sprinkles, and eating popsicles. No schedule, just fun summer days. 

This outfit reminds me of the 90s with the bright blue colors💙How will you be spending your summer break? #summerootd #athleisurestyle
cleaning routine 🧺🫧🧽 So after having kids I’ve al cleaning routine 🧺🫧🧽

I love that these products simplify my cleaning routine…it’s one concentrate that has multiple uses throughout my home. Also, it’s non toxic and the products work really well!

favorite newborn accessory here’s my little secr favorite newborn accessory 

here’s my little secret to getting things done around the house with a newborn. I love the Wildbird baby carrier! It’s easy to put on and comfy for both of us. My baby boy always falls asleep and I’m able to have productive days. Homeschooling and checking off my daily household tasks is so much easier with this baby carrier. Also my baby boy is 12 pounds so I’m basically wearing a weighted vest and getting my daily workout in!

homeschool activities ♟️ So Maddie and little Ra homeschool activities ♟️ 

So Maddie and little Ray learned how to play chess and they’re so good at it now. They started taking lessons with the free @duolingo app and it’s been so helping in teaching them! Chess is a game of strategy that helps kids learn to evaluate positions, recognize patterns, and analyze “if-then” scenarios. Now it’s time for me to learn lol. 

Do you and your kids know how to play chess? I highly recommend Duolingo (it’s free) if your kids want to learn a new language or learn how to play chess! #homeschoolactivities #homeschoolmom #homeschoolcurriculum https://liketk.it/6dpfI

Valentines Day Snack Boards for Kids

Valentine’s Day is a day to express love and gratitude toward our loved ones. It’s been a tradition in our family to do love themed activities for a week leading up to February 14th. This year, we focused on fun snack boards. My kids are at the age where they are always asking me for snacks. So I figured I would start creating themed snack boards for my kids. The snack boards that I create are typically simple with minimal snacks. So here are some fun Valentine’s Day themed snack boards for kids. 

  • Tic Tac Toe SnackBoard
  • Fruits and Chocolate Snack Board
  • Movie Night Snack Board
  • Heart Cupcakes Snack Board
  • Heart Waffles Snackboard

Tic Tac Toe Snack Board

Tic Tac Toe was probably one of the first games I taught my kids. It’s a simple way to bond with your kids while playing a game and eating a snack. I thought it would be so cute to create this tic tac toe snack board for my kids. 

What You Need

Graham Crackers

Conversation Hearts 

Icing Writing Gel 

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Fruit and Chocolate Snack Board 

Anytime I make a snack board for my kids, I try to get healthier options. I like to add fruit to their snack boards with a little chocolate. Strawberries are easy to cut into hearts and they go so well with chocolate. For the apples, you can easily use a cookie cutter to cut it into a heart shape. 

What You Need

Strawberries

Apples

Valentine’s Day Sprinkles 

Chocolate Melts 

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Movie Night Snack Board

We love doing movie nights on Fridays at the house. So a simple snack board with popcorn and M&M cupid mix is everything they need for a fun night.

What You Need 

Popcorn 

M&M Cupid Mix

Heart Shaped Cupcake Liners (Silicone)


Heart Cupcakes Snack Board

I found the cutest heart shaped pan from Target. This would be a big hit for my kids because they absolutely love cupcakes. I added the white icing on top of the cupcakes. Then I dipped them in sprinkles. Perfect!

What You Need

Heart Shaped Cupcake Pan

Icing

Valentine’s Day Sprinkles

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Heart Waffles Snack Board

I love that the brand Dash comes out with themed waffle makers throughout the year. This heart shaped waffle maker is just so cute. Instead of syrup I drizzled icing on top. Then I added the cute X and O cookies. The waffles are pretty small so it’s the perfect size for a snack for your kids 

What You Need

Waffle Mix

Dash Heart Shaped Waffle Maker

Icing

X and O cookies

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


I hope you were inspired to create some of these snack boards for your kids. Also, check out my blog post February Love Baskets for Kids.

XO,

Ashley
