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

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

Winter Snack Board Ideas for Kids

My kids are always asking for snacks. I think most moms can relate to their kids constantly asking for snacks throughout the day. Recently, I started creating fun snack boards for my kids and it was a big hit. My kids loved it. Then I started to incorporate a fun activity along with the snack boards. The winter season is here so we’ll be spending a lot of time inside. Here are some fun snack board ideas for kids during the winter months. 


Hot Cocoa and Cookie Bar

My kids love hot cocoa and cookies. So I decided to have them decorate their own gingerbread cookies and then make their own hot cocoa. I bought everything from Target, Tj Maxx, and Walmart.

What You Need

Gingerbread man cookies

Sprinkles

Assortment of marshmallows

Hot cocoa spoons 

Kid friendly mugs

Chocolate spoons 

Peppermint and chocolate stirrer sticks

Sistema containers to store everything 


Cookies and Coloring

I found this winter coloring tablecloth and I knew the kids would love it. Also, I love using coloring tablecloths anytime I do snack boards because that’s an easy activity the kids can do while they eat their snacks. I bought everything from Target and Walmart.

What you Need

Winter themed cookies

Marshmallows

Sprinkles

Crayons

Coloring tablecloth

Sistema containers to store everything 


Fruit Santa Hats

Sometimes I like to add in some healthy snack options for my kids. For the activity my kids made santa hats out of fruit and wrote letters to Santa. I bought everything from Target, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx.

What you need

Strawberries

Bananas

Small marshmallow

Rice krispy treats

Macaroons

Toothpicks

snowflake plates

Letters to santa kit

Marshmallows

White chocolate pretzels


Winter Wonderland Snowmen 

My kids and I love ice cream cake so we created a winter wonderland. The Oreo Ice cream cake from I Love Ice Cream was perfect. For the activity we created marshmallow snowmen and added snow sprinkles to the ice cream cake.

What you Need

Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Big size marshmallows

Toothpicks

Snowflake Sprinkles

Small chocolate kisses

Pretzels


I hope you were inspired to do some of these snack board ideas for kids and activities during winter with your kids. Be sure to check out 30 Screen Free Activities for Kids during Winter Break.
