𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖 𝕒 ℙ𝕠𝕡𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣?! 😄

My little sure does and she got a taste of this dream coming true thanks to @minipopkids! 😍

There is no question that singing 🎤 and dancing fills your heart and soul with joy 🥰and we will definitely take as much joy as we can get! 

Last March (before the world turned upside down 🙃) we had the opportunity to see the Mini Pop Kids live in concert. 👏🏻 That happiness and level of energy stuck (and carried her through for a very long time! 🙏🏻)

Now, here we are a year later and that energy is back thanks to their AMAZING new program on @Outschool👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

If you’re not familiar, like if you’ve been living under a rock for the last few decades 😉, the Mini Pop Kids rock family-friendly covers of today’s top hits. They are all about inclusivity (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) and encourage each and every child to follow their dreams 💕

Not only are the Mini Pop Kids now on Outschool but they’ve made an appearance via their clothing line @walmartcanada as well!! 💕👏🏻

Check out my stories to see my kiddo rocking her PopStar clothing (#gifted) and learning from the awesome @travellingstage coach - all from the comfort of home 🏠 

Side note ~ Please tell me you remember the Mini Pops from your own childhood and I’m not the only “grown up” who is still able to run those awesome 80s lyrics through their head 😂

This book is the sweetest 💕 We are so thankful🙏🏻 this was #gifted to us by @piccopuppy! 

The simplicity of the narrative and the embedded values are beautiful 😍 The images are magical add the most beautiful touches of whimsy 💕

We have already read this book so many times and I adore watching my children get lost in thought while they listen to me read. Every time we have sat down with this book it has triggered important conversations and reflections on their own lives and choices. 🥰

With so many beautiful wishes between its covers this book will bring endless conversations about what truly matters in life. 

There is no question that this book will be replacing cards for me as sweet new babies join our circle of family and friends. I’ve already ordered my first one for my favourite newest addition to the family 💕 I can’t wait to write a personalized message in it and send it off to her 😊

📖 I Wish You Happiness

✨ A book full of hopes, dreams and wishes for a woderful life

And do you want to build him up high? 🙄

This kid never does anything basic ❄️ It’s always something that stretches the imagination just a little bit, pushes creativity a little bit more, and creates 100 extra steps 🥾. 

In this particular instance she may have outsmarted me...🤦🏼‍♀️

By supporting her in her idea 💡 to build her snowman up high, guess who got to do those 100 steps? That’s right. Mom 🙋🏼‍♀️

Because of course she couldn’t let him go. She HAD to stay with him ⛄ 

The rolling and packing (numerous times because it wasn’t packing snow!) was done by yours truly...while she supervised and governed (ahem...dictated) from her perch above me 🤣

I’m such a sucker 🤦🏼‍♀️ Another fun snow day in the books 📚 

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets tricked by their children?! 💁🏼‍♀️

𝕀’𝕞 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 𝕄 𝕀’𝕞 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 𝕄𝕒𝕞𝕒 𝕥𝕠𝕕𝕒𝕪! 🥰⁣
⁣
We have loved our @playosmo since the second we got it! 👏🏻 When the schools shut down last year I don’t think I could have told more people about how much they needed one 😆⁣
⁣
It supplements our home school curriculum beautifully and gives extra support for our public schooler in a way that makes learning at home so much fun 🤸‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
@playosmo gifted us their new game, Math Wizard and the Magical Workshop, and as their games always do, it bridges learning and play in the most beautiful way✨We are all about playful learning around here and @playosmo encourages learning in the most magical way! 🪄⁣
⁣
Today I walked into the room to find this kiddo cozied up at her desk in the sun ☀ , playing away, making potions 🧪, and shrieking with delight as she worked towards the next stage of the game 💕 Math doesn’t come naturally to her, and it has never been something she opts to do independently, until now! {insert happy mom dance 💃 }⁣
⁣
I love that she got this out independently, not because it’s math time, but just for entertainment because she loves it 😀!! I’m not sure if it’s the wizards, potion-making, animated characters, or all of the above, but I will take it! 🙋🏼‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
I love that this game will grow with her as her skills expand so the curriculum-inspired potion-making 🧪can continue for a long time to come👏🏻 ⁣
⁣
My littlest 👦🏼 who you probably know LOVES his screens, eats this right up too! And you know what?! No mom-guilt here 👏🏻, because he is learning and growing with every moment he spends playing, so it’s all good! 🥰⁣
⁣
@playosmo has 13+ games that are geared towards children between 3 and 10 years old. The Math Wizard and the Magical Workshop game is perfect for children aged 6 to 8 (grades 1 or 2) 👏🏻⁣
⁣
If you’re looking to bring some magical learning to your home check out all of the @playosmo learning choices at www.playosmo.com or through the Amazon affiliate link in my bio 💕

There is so much more to play than a way to spend time ⏰

We are all aware of the physical benefits of active play ⛹️‍♂️ but what we sometimes overlook are the emotional benefits 💜

I’ve got a “busy” 👦🏼 boy who needs to move like he needs to breathe! 

He processes his emotions through movement. Active toys 🛹 let him:

✨express built up or suppressed emotions
✨build coping skills
✨increase body-based awareness 
✨take body breaks to help focus
✨ expel physical emotion so he can engage more in conversation 

It has been a weird (aka HARD) last year. A recent conversation with our Naturopathic Doctor 👩🏻‍⚕️ reminded me that this kid processes his emotions through movement.

That reminder was definitely needed! 💕

We did some reorganizing and now have an indoor trampoline and active toys like this awesome board (@spoonerboards) nearby throughout the day ☀️. His ability to self-regulate now amazes me💕. 

When he’s getting stressed from school, is frustrated with something (usually his sister 👧🏼) or is just feeling sad, he’ll hop on the trampoline or jump on his #spoonerboard and noticeably feel better in minutes 😍

He also wants to be all of the things (snowboarder 🏂, surfer 🏄‍♂️ & skateboarder 🛹) so this training board has been amazing for building confidence, increasing balance, and helping him feel he is on the way to accomplishing his goals 👏🏻

Link for @spoonerboards is in my bio (affiliate link) 💕

We have been relishing in our slow time together at home and have been doing so much baking. 

The kids have been loving having baking/decorating competitions...but I’m running out of items to compete over! 

Ideas?! 👇🏻
“𝕀𝕟 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕜 “𝕀𝕟 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕜 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕟𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕖, 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕖𝕚𝕧𝕖𝕤 𝕗𝕒𝕣 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕟 𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕖𝕖𝕜𝕤.”
𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕄𝕦𝕚𝕣

Today, it was the simple wish to make a snow angel, which of course lead to pondering how to get up without undoing his careful work, which lead to better problem solving skills and creativity. 

He doesn’t see his learning, but I do 💕
