Summer is finally here! It's so beautiful, sunny, and warm! Summer activities keep the kids so busy. How do you guys cope and deal? This is our first summer doing activities with our preschooler and it has been hectic running around with work, daycare pick up, meals and getting him to activities in time. They do miss their friends though without school so sometimes, it's nice to see some of them at activities or even sleep overs!

Our family have always been animal lovers and as a child, I adored Clifford The Big Red Dog. In fact, I wanted one of my own. It wasn't until adulthood, when I finally adopted our first dog and well, my preschooler is just as in love with animals as I am. So, we were super excited when Clifford The Big Red Dog came to life with a live-action movie. Now, it's available on DVD for your viewing at home perfectly in time with a red, ooey, gooey, warm and fuzzy holiday we all know as Valentine's Day!

We've all heard of it, it covers the news outlets and medias day in and out. The pandemic has been hard on everyone. From lost jobs and income to loss of health and lives, our lives have completely changed. Not everyone understands the gravity of the situation; truth be told, there are many adults that have a hard time grasping the concepts, much less the children in our lives. A toddler doesn't understand why we're asking them not to play in a playground or hang out with their friends. However, a cooped up toddler who's lost their routine can spell trouble, more tantrums, and headaches for parents who are doing their best to provide for their families in these dark times. So, here are some great activities and tips that will help keep toddlers active and happy!

How do you know you're a Disney die hard fan? Hmmm...well in my case, I would say, it's when you start living in it in your dreams. I dreamt of dancing teapots and candlesticks in my home singing "Be My Guest". Yep, not going crazy...just losing myself in the future. As many may know, Disney has an upcoming live-action of Beauty and the Beast. This was one of the childhood classics I loved telling of romance and bravery. Take a look at the first sneak peek of this highly anticipated classic featuring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson.
