    Love that you do this for the kids. Gives me so many ideas for a "littles" craft station at my home for when they visit. I've been labeled the "Crafty Grandma," and I love the title. I agree that it is not our job to always entertain the kids, but it is our job to give them the tools to do it themselves and encourage creativity!

    You do a great job making sure your kids have a fun summer. I did this with my six grandchildren and they still remember the fun we had. You could always add Nature Day to your list. That was just go outside and roll in the grass, play with sticks, dig in the dirt or sand. Name flowers and trees, etc. Yes, they do that on their own but naming it Nature Day just helps make them aware of the fun stuff Nature provides. Have fun

    It’s so awesome how you do all these fun things for the kids . I babysit my granddaughter during the summer so I’m going to use some of these ideas , they are all so good . Wolfgang is so cute and growing so fast . He has the brightest smile like his mommy :) I know your kids are surely blessed . Maybe you could take the kids to a nursing home and let them spend some time with a elderly person , that’s if they like older people . I know some kids don’t like it but when I was growing up during the summer I went to visit elderly at the nursing home and man what a good time I had :) plus it puts a smile on there faces . God bless and keep you all Kim and I pray you all had a wonderful summer . Try to get you some rest to and watch some Golden girls lol . Big hugs

    I love the craft bin's; I agree with the it's not a mother's job to entertain your children, but I do think you can provide them with the tools to create and learn on their own. You have inspired me to create some for my niece's and since I love arts and crafts I will enjoy creating just as much as they will and it's something I can do with them and even make memory boxes with their creations.

    Hi Kim,
    I am a long time watcher, but I have never commented. As a passionate pre-k teacher, I would like to offer you a little feedback about Meredith's name practice sheet. Young children, 3 and 4 year olds, should learn to write upper case letters first because they are all the same size, they all have a simple formation using only curves and lines, and they all start at the top. Upper case letters are developmentally appropriate for the littles. Lower case letter formation is a lot more complex.
    We use the "Get Set for School" handwriting curriculum by Learning Without Tears with our pre- k students (4 and 5 year olds) and the handwriting book only contains upper case letters for the children to trace.
    With that being said, you might want to consider printing her a page that uses all upper case letters.😊
    Have a fun summer!

    I have a 21 year old, a 19 year old, and a 15 year old now and I would make them summer fun baskets every year. They were just talking about them the other day. Most of the stuff came from the dollar tree. They especially loved these straw kits, that created a huge bendy straw❤❤❤❤
    It came in hand one year because we rode out a hurricane and lost power. I also like to include a headlamp light. Duck tape and cardboard endless possibilities 😊
    Plus they were still coming up with a bucket list for this year😢❤

    Have you ever used turkish towels? They are bigger & just as thin & come in pretty colors!

    Love your videos. I had a thought for your beach bag. You can buy a seatbelt cover shoulder pad and wrap it around the handles. It might make it more comfortable to carry.
