Much to the despair of our little ones, back-to-school time is fast approaching. The freedom and fun of summer will soon be over and the reality of routines and homework is about to start. While we’re eager to get the kiddies out of the house at last, the reality is that it comes with a few “drawbacks”: Laundry: Summer comes with its fair share of stains but soon gym clothes and uniforms will take over – big time.

If you are anything like me you start out summer holidays with good intentions on keeping the kids active in reading and writing. The plan was to continue their work with spelling and printing and other topics and we did pretty good the first week, but then things slowly started to slip in the summer sun. Summer is just too darn short and inviting to be writing out spelling lists and the rest of the summer was spent relaxing on the beach, jumping on the trampoline and scoring goals on the soccer … [Read more...]

Have you heard of the Grossery Gang yet? This is a new toy brand for us, but when I showed my own gang the toys online they were eager to check them out. "sooooo.....these are like Shopkins for boys!" my oldest exclaimed. Well, yes, and maybe no. I'm sure there are girls out there who aren't completely grossed out by Barf Bagels and Snot and Pepper but these toys are basically the love child of Shopkins and Trash Packs. Check out our unboxing and toy review video! For first … [Read more...]

Why do all my kids grow a size at the same time? Does this happen to other families as well? Just when I thought I had this whole back-to-school thing handled, I realized that all the boys will be needing new shoes this year since they are all pretty much maxing out on the ones they have now. Truth be told though, I was definitely ready to toss their old shoes anyway. This will forever be known as the summer of the plantars warts and now that we FINALLY have those things beat (knocks … [Read more...]
