If you’re a mom keep reading because we have some wonderful fun ideas to inspire you with your little ones and family. My blogging friends are linking up craft ideas, fun in the kitchen, preschool & homeschool ideas, and ways to spend time as a family.
On Mondays I’ve been posting encouraging words for MOMs. You can check out “Sacred” or “Transformed” to see me live and up close. I hope these posts encourage you.
On Wednesdays I post on the preschool alphabet games we’re doing. If you’d like to join us, you can download my FREE Preschool Planner and see my latest Free Printables.
On Fridays I host Family Fun Friday so you can meet all my blogging friends and get great ideas.
Thanks to all my blogging friends for linking up last week at Family Fun Friday. So many great ideas, crafts and things to do! If you link up, you permit me to use your pictures/ideas as part of future posts. As always, for every 50+ ideas I will select a winner of some FREE jewelry.
The winner of our latest contest is: Katie at The Gift of Curiosity for her gross motor skills entry. A great post for keeping kids active.
Our winner was selected using a random number generator. Congratulations Katie. You can choose either the teal, blue or black necklace or the teal/black earrings from the jewelry below.
Now on to some fabulous posts for busy moms. Our Featured Bloggers:
1. Six Sister’s Stuff for a three ingredient banana bread – super fast and easy to make. Time saved in the kitchen is time that can be spent doing other things. 😉
2. Kayse Pratt shared a wonderful idea for family dinner time that included questions to help the family stay connected.
3. Meridith LeRoy for her GORGEOUS FREE Nursery Printables. Moms with babies often don’t have much spare time – this makes decorating easier.
4. Stephanie for her STAYCATION VACATION post – I’ve never thought of it this way and I’m so thankful she wrote so many fun and frugal ideas in her post.
5. Kathie Morrisse posted 10 Fun Things to do with your kids at Character Corner
AND BONUS: The Thriftness Miss had some ADORABLE and totally doable ideas for celebrating Easter. I also wrote a post earlier this week about Easter fun: Fun Easter Activities and Melissa and Doug is giving away $200 in toys for Easter – click the link to register.
Thanks again for all your wonderful ideas! I hope these Family Friendly and Fun ideas inspire you.
