Free Printable for Growing Bookworms: Kids’ Reading Scavenger Hunt

June 11 by MJ at Pars Caeli

Free Printable: Kids Reading Scavenger Hunt - Perfect for spring and summer breaks. my kids loved checking off all 25 items!

Scavenger hunts and reading make the perfect pair. Discovering new stories, interesting characters, or a great series builds your child's love for literature as well as her motivation to become an independent reader. As parents we want to grow our children's interest in reading but sometimes feel like we've run out of ideas on how to do just that. To help, we've created a fun and simple way to challenge your child to read and discover outside of their comfort zone. It's a free printable … [Read more...]

April 16 by MJ at Pars Caeli

Free Mad Libs Card printable - great for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher Appreciation and anything else your kids want to celebrate in a silly and fun way!

Before I became a parent, I had no idea of the role knock-knock jokes, mad libs, and the like would one day play in my home. With a 6 year old and a 4 year old - these things are the stuff of magic around here. My kids think they are absolutely hilarious and just cannot get enough - ever. Which is why I asked our contributor MJ to put together a colorful Mad Libs style card that can be used for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day, etc. Because I know the kids will want to fill them … [Read more...]

My Simple Plan for Saving Our Memories This Year

January 20 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

We're talking memories today as part of our month long mission to find ways to eat better, parent better, organize better and just generally live better this year.  Before S arrived, I was actually pretty good about recording memories for our little family.  At the end of each month I would use the photos we'd taken to create 2 - 4 new pages in an iphoto book, along with a few paragraphs with family anecdotes, accomplishments, etc.  The idea being that at the end of the year I would have a … [Read more...]

Today's the day, time for me to unleash one enormous post and time for you to finally make a cleaning schedule and get started down the path to a new life.  One in which you don't have to limit having people over to times when you know you'll have a few hours to frantically surface clean the whole place first (or is that just me?).  That's the goal anyway, and below is the action plan to help get you there.  So grab a cup of Jo, some pen and paper, and get comfy - we've got some work to … [Read more...]
