Easy Language Learning for the Kiddos

Harley has been asking me to teach her a new language.  They learn a little Spanish every morning in her class and she's been really enjoying it.  Hardest part is... I haven't had a language class since I was in high school.  I'm a little rusty when it comes to it.  

I was excited when influenster was advertising a new language learning program that was designed specifically for kids.  They include cartoon characters and fun music to keep the kids attention.  They also use pictures that kids would know and that way they know exactly what word they are learning.  

Rainy Day Blues

Ok, so I know that the first day of fall isn't technically till the 22nd, but it sure does feel like fall here in Albuquerque.  It rained all day yesterday and is supposed to rain most of the day today.  Yes, we do get rain here in New Mexico.  I'm sure a lot of you are surprised. ;)

All this rain has made perfect weather for cuddling up on the couch and watching Singing In The Rain, but with a 4 year old I can't very well do that.  So what do you do with a 4 year old when it's too wet to go outside?  In our house we build a fort!

Summer Days

Well, school is now out and summer has officially started.  It won't be too long before moms and dads are pulling out their hair because the kids are bored.  Beat the summer time boredom and plan a fun summer.

These activities don't have to be expensive and most the time the funniest ones cost little to no money at all!  

I have compiled a list of some activities for you and your kids to do this summer.  I hope it helps with the hair pulling ;)

Getting Your Kids Involved

Who said us mom's had to do all the work when it comes to cleaning?  Why not get our kids involved and have them help you clean?!  I'm not talking about having them cleaning the oven or working with noxious fumes, but have them do small easy things like vacuuming, cleaning their room, having them help you with the laundry, etc.

I have my little one help me with house work all the time.  It makes her feel like a big girl and it helps me as well.
