Less screen time with older kids and preteens

January 20, 2023

After our excessive screen time over winter break, I knew we needed a change. So I’ve put some new routines in place. I didn’t “announce” it to the kids so they wouldn’t feel like something was being taken away. Instead I tried to make it fun and implement new ideas little by little. Then something… Read More Less screen time with older kids and preteens

How I organize my day with kids and work

May 10, 2018
My stay at home mom and work schedule

I value productivity, but I need balance too. Left to my own devices, I would never sit down, forget to eat and run full force at a project until I see its completion, but that is not how motherhood works! The days that I commit to projects and writing, I feel the tug of quality… Read More How I organize my day with kids and work

editable version for $3Life is getting busier around here. It seems like someone has a doctor’s appointment every other day, one kid started school, and Marcello is traveling more for work — I’m starting to feel overwhelmed! I decided to do a mini command center. I’m not ready (or organized enough) for the take-up-the-whole-wall variety, so I… Read More Mini command center with printables

A month of outdoor activities for kids

July 28, 2015

Days are longer in the summer. The kids are up earlier and seem to go down later. So what’s a mom of three small children to do all day? I did an experiment a couple weeks ago and planned out one water activity a day. It worked! We looked forward to it. And even if the kids… Read More A month of outdoor activities for kids

Pretty printable daily kids’ schedule

May 15, 2014
Printable kids schedule inside kitchen cabinet

Being a stay-at-home mom with a long, wide open day can be a mess for me. I’m not exactly a routine kind of person and every day looks different. That’s fine some of the time, but I think my kids and I would benefit from a little structure. My part-time graphic design work and my kids’ endless needs… Read More Pretty printable daily kids’ schedule
