Texoma with Kids

One day as I was taking a quick minute for myself, I was scrolling social media. I scrolled past many tutorials, history tidbits, and cats terrorizing their owners (I am not a fan of cats but delight in watching their mischievous ways) there was a Buzzfeed video. I missed the beginning but saw the question…

Hard to believe that 3 weeks has come & gone for our students! Anyone else think the rest of the school year will go by as quickly!? Or has it been slow going for you? Let’s take a moment and check-in with out in-person students to see how they are doing. Grant,1st grader from Evans…

With loads of high-tech devices that make layering tasks almost effortless, mindfulness is a lost art — almost. In the middle…

Nope! I am not talking about using your phone either. I am talking about looking at the people you live with and talking to them! Believe me, I know that it seems much easier to allow them extra screen time but make time for face to face conversation and playtime. I know there have been several…

I first wrote this on my personal blog, MommieVentures, on 04/15/20. This was such a fun and cheap craft to do with your kiddos! Messy, yes, but totally worth it! All you need is a foil pan, a canvas of any size, a plastic knife, shaving cream, and food coloring. All these supplies were purchased…
