The Best Educational Toys That Don't Involve a Screen 

                           October 5, 2021


The best advice I could give my 10years ago self?  Don't put off shopping until December for Christmas.  Spend every moment of the Holiday Season unstressed and Mingling with those you love.  Every year I spend Christmas decorating with Grace and attending her various recitals and Church plays.  That's the fun part.  The other 85% is spent stressing over gifts and wrapping gifts and online shopping for gifts...you get the point.  By the time Christmas Eve is here, I am one moody Momma.  I want to open gifts and take a long nap.  This year, I vow to be different.  Christmas shopping will be easy breezy, and I'm already Making my Amazon Cart List and Checking it Twice.

Leap, Jump, and Land with a smile on your little one's face by purchasing these affordable and educational steals now. All found on Amazon.

1. 
    
   Favorite part:  The observation journal that comes with this kit.

2. 
 Why?   This globe is interactive, which is great for playing with a friend or if you have an only child.  Our Littles are intrigued by the world that exists outside of their world.

3.
  
What's fun about this?  We adults can watch the stars too.  Space has been a big conversation this year; this educational tool allows kids an eye view of the stars and moon up close.  Perfect for curious Space and Science lovers.  Affordable for Parents who don't want to break the bank on a high-tech telescope until their littles are a bit older and more responsible.  Recommended for ages up to 10years old.

4.
 Books for early readers.  This collection of books by Cindy Mosley have been the center of book readings by our brand.  We love the practice that young readers get with fluency and comprehension.  The books are visually appealing as well.  Great stocking stuffers, gifts for school gift exchanges, and littles who love to read.

A Look at the love life of Harriet Tubman

Black History Month intertwined with Love 🖤                                                                         I have been thinking a lot about the history of women who made hugely important sacrifices for black people enslaved.  Love is on the brain, how could it not be during February.  Everywhere you look there are images of couples in love, sexy lingerie, plus hearts and flowers.  Here, I take a look at the soft side of Harriet Tubman.  You know the side all of us women possess? The side where our hearts flutter and we can't live without that certain someone. 🖤 I can imagine that is what Harriet felt when she met her first husband a free man named John Tubman. The two Wedded under an informal agreement rather than a legally bound union and stayed married from 1844-to 1851. 🖤 Similar to love relationships today, when Harriet began to evolve and became determined to gain her own freedom in the North the marriage suffered. Mrs. Tubman made several trips back an

Boho Bedroom Design on a Budget

A Girls room, Boho style.  June 9, 2021 Katina Kennedy  Photo credits,  Google photos and Target.com Have you been pondering the question,  " what age do we move to the next phase of our Mini's bedroom design?"  After studying child development for years my answer to this question would be somewhere between ages 2-4, 3-6, 7-10 and 11-14. Usually 12-14 Mom's will act as  the financial behind their Tweens vision.  We were inspired by one of our favorite little 11year old girls, Kailee. Just turning the big "11" and moving to a new and bigger home,  inspired us to think about a cute transitional design for her age group.  Not too pink and frilly; but still girly and fun. We decided on a cute Boho inspired room. Cute window shades that still allow lot's of natural light in the room.  A ottoman that acts as storage at the foot of her bed adds texture to the room, and an extra place to display items that she loves. Next, a corner lamp and chair that tie into t

Spring Break on a Budget

Katina Kennedy, author March 13, 2022 Spring Break is here for most families and  I am here for it.  This year my little and I scheduled our week.  Most of our activities are designed especially for littles but I am making time for myself as well.   Day 1🥞 Plan a morning breakfast. Have everyone who will be attending write down a question and something they want to share.  Put the questions in a bowl and set them near the center of the table.  This will be a guided exchange while eating up. Make breakfast simple and fun.  Throw in a few toppings for pancakes and waffles, such as Reddi Whip cream and flavored syrups. This is the kick-off to a fun-filled week. Following Breakfast go out for a picnic or walk at a park. add 🍓 fresh fruit not just any pancake! Fun pancakes a walk at the park with my mini a healthy lunch at the park idea 🤸‍♂️ Don't overlook that our littles can be unpredictable. Don't stress if they want
