Is there something in particular your kids are obsessed with right now? My boys are totally all about geology. They love searching for cool rocks and learning about mining! I love it when they get super excited about it and ask a question.
Teaching my kids how to find answers to their questions is more important than knowing the answer, so being able to say, “Let’s look it up,” in a foreign language is icing on the educational cake! And if they eat mostly icing, I’m okay with that. 😉
Have you seen the funny memes about cats who are just, like, the worst?! Haha! Why are cats ready to knock a vase over at any given moment?! “The cat hates people,” is the perfect phrase for that special cat in your life that just can’t stand people. I bet you’re thinking of one right now. Comment below with your funny, “the cat hates people,” story!
What’s the first thing a kid says on the morning of his or her birthday? “I’m excited!” Right?! For our kids’ birthdays, we skip the parties and presents and go on a fun trip together. (We did a big themed birthday for Darian when he was one, and I didn’t love doing it, so that was the last party. 😂) Last year for Nolan’s birthday, we did the Bahamas. For Darian and I, we went to San Diego. And for Hector, we were in Mexico on the beach! And this year… hahaha! We were going to be in France, Germany, Romania, and Italy across all our birthdays. Now we’re grounded. 😭 But we’ll still have fun! What do you do to make birthdays special in your house? What should we do this year now that our plans are cancelled? Any tips? Alllllll our birthdays are coming up.
I get so excited about short phrases because they are totally attainable! Sometimes kids need quick results to encourage their learning and today’s phrase, “Ready? Go!” is a great example of that. Use this phrase as you race your kids to the swing set at the park!
If you could choose one way to make your life easier, what would you wish for? While I’m no fairy godmother, I can grant you the wish of your child saying something in a foreign language in the next 7 minutes! 😜 If that sounds magical to you, then I have the perfect phrase…
Has your family kept up a routine at home over the past months? What has worked best for you during this crazy time? My older son loves listening to audio books late into the night, so sometimes, he needs a little help waking up in the…
“Carry me!” It’s the perfect phrase to motivate a toddler to use a foreign language, or a tired child that can’t take one more step on the walk you just started, or me sitting on the couch with an empty…
How did your oldest child react when their little brother or sister came into the world? Some kids are immediately in love… while others (like Darian meeting Nolan) take some time to adjust…
I don’t know about you, but after a crazy Monday working from home while trying to keep the kids entertained, there’s just one thing to say: It’s time to clean up!…
