I have a great list of ideas to keep your kids busy from an article on parents.com that I have saved.  Some kids have already started their summer vacations and the rest will be starting soon.  Pretty soon you’ll be hearing “I’m bored!”  Or if you’re a stay at home mom with young children you’re already looking for great ideas to use with your children.

There is a list of 100 things you can do to keep your little kids happy that is packed full of great tips.  A few of my favorite ideas include:

  1. Use a pipe cleaner- make different shapes, turn them into a necklace or ring, make a flower.
  2. Use dot art markers- let your kids go crazy
  3. Bake some cookies.

There are a lot of fabulous ideas that I’m sure you’ll want to check out! 


I am always on the lookout for tips and tricks.  Tip and tricks about parenting, weight loss, cooking, cleaning, relationships, etc.  Anything and everything you can think of- I am looking for tips and tricks to improve upon it.

It can get a bit overwhelming trying to remember all of the tips and tricks I come across on the Internet.  So I thought it would be a great idea to start a blog where I can keep track of all of the tips and tricks I find helpful.

Comments and questions or your tips and tricks are more than welcome!
