If you are a peace-loving household that forbids children to play with guns, you will want to stop reading now. However, if you are not anti-gun, and have some stir crazy kids, I propose the following rainy day activity: Target Practice Go to http://www.mytargets.com, to find a variety of printable targets.

One of the great things about sending my kids to Vacation Bible School, is they come home learning and loving new Christian tunes. I have especially loved catching my three year old sing to himself. The favorite song they acquired from VBS this year is called “Rise & Sing”, and it’s a catchy little...
Last Saturday, one of our neighbors hosted a backyard movie night. This family does this every so often and it’s always a fun time. They also organize our neighborhood block party each year, so you know they love a good party. Families are invited while it’s still daylight and the kids have a blast...
We have officially entered the world of organized sports. Sam, a kindergartner, joined the local soccer association. We are in the 4th week of our season, but due to various rain and holidays, have only had one official practice thus far. If you’ve ever wondered what soccer looks like at this level, let me...
I had planned on taking the kids to Cox Farms this week, because I purchased a Groupon, that was good for this week only. The idea was to go Wednesday afternoon with a friend, after early release, but the weather didn’t cooperate. So then we revised our plans, and decided to surprise the kids...

This past week, I had my kids enrolled at “Camp Straight Street“, a day camp run by Cherrydale Baptist Church. I’m familiar with the church since I’m involved in their mom’s group so I was excited to see them offering this program this year. I was looking for an all day camp to give...
Sam loves to learn how to do new things and loves to help in the kitchen. I confess, I’m not always eager to have the kids underfoot, but Mike has been great about teaching them. Sam and Wendy learned to crack eggs at a young age — I’m pretty sure he had Sam doing...
I was invited to speak at my local MOPS group this week on the subject of fun things to do with preschoolers throughout the summer. In this case, preschoolers means children kindergarten aged and younger. As a mom of three such children (ages 6, 4 and 2) and I took on the task with...
