Summer Fun With Kids @ Living Well Spending Less and Sunshine and Hurricanes

 

Summer is NOT over yet! Even if you’re kids have already gone back to school, the days are still long, we have weekends to fill and it’s not too late to squeeze in a little more fun and creativity with our kiddos.   Our friend Ruth at Living Well Spending Less has had an amazing Summer Fun with Kids series going all summer and Michelle and I were lucky enough to be included as the final guest bloggers this week.

We chose to share an All About Me Kids Collage inspired by our kiddos and made with words and images they think represent who they are right now.  This is actually a great project for end of summer/beginning of the school because you are capturing this one moment in time and you’ll be able to look back when a new summer arrives next year and see how they’ve grown and changed. Another bonus about this project is that when it’s finished, you’ll really have a work of art that both they and you will be pleased to hang up and display in a playroom or their bedroom.

This was a little sneak peek, but head over HERE to get all the info you’ll need to help your kids create their own Mixed Media Collage. Even better, Ruth is Giving Away 3 sets of Label Land School/Camp Labels that are perfect for Back to School.

Speaking of Back to School and Giveaways, don’t miss the Back to School Cash Bash Giveaway we’re hosting with 10 other fabulous bloggers right now!! One lucky winner is going to walk away with $500 Pay Pal Cash. I bet that would come in handy right now!

Also, if you’re feeling a little sad about the end of summer, you’re not alone. You’ll definitely want to read Michelle’s heartfelt post Why I’m Not Excited School is Starting. Once you’ve read it, leave her a little comment and congratulate (or console) her about having just become the mother of a TEENAGER!

    It’s time for us to get back on board with our low-carb lifestyle, and that means figuring out how to make lots of simple low carb meals. We decided to make the change in November, but the holidays made it easy to make excuses to indulge in sweets. But, because I have PCOS and insulin resistance, low carb is really the way to go for me. That means I’ll be cooking up lots of low-carb dishes for you to try, the first of which is this delicious pizza omelet.

    I love these collages as they are suitable for all ages. Great for little ones that get frustrated when they can’t draw perfectly and still good for older ones that can craft something unique and cool for their bedroom. Also a good way for mummy to make a ‘vision board’ to help inspire her personal goals through the winter months too!!

I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the very inspiring blogger award. Sorry it has taken me so ling to let you know. I was on vacation when the post went live and got super busy when we got home. Check it out http://lifeslittleprojects.com/inspiring-blogger-award/

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
