A Easy Nighttime Game You AND Your Kids Will Like!

So, one night a couple years ago my kids and I went for a walk on the beach with a spotlight to look for crabs for fun.

The kids started chasing the light at some point and somehow it became one of their favorite nighttime games!

So if it’s nighttime, you’re in need of a break, and your kids have too much energy, take a spotlight outside and a comfy chair and let them chase the light around the yard, or wherever you are.

Maybe my kids are just weird.

Or maybe this is totally a mom hack.

Either way, try it and let me know if it works for you!

A Quick Easy Way to Reinforce Learning the Alphabet

Sometimes we as moms can make things so complicated. I know I do.

So I thought I’d share this fun way to bring learning into play with your child who is learning their ABCs

Take whatever they are playing with and have them make a letter out of the objects!

If it’s dinosaurs or dolls, challenge them to make a “D” or a “d.” If it’s cups or cars, go for a “C.” Or a “b” for bugs like we did. And so on!

So quick and easy that it’s kind of embarrassing to write about, but hey, that’s what this blog is for! Teaching our children at home doesn’t have to be hard!
