In partnership with

Hello Awesome Parents,

I’ve got some real gems to share this month that I think will bring a little extra magic (and a whole lot of learning) into our homes.

You know those moments when you’re trying to help with homework and suddenly realize, “Wait, they’re learning this already?!”

Well, I found some amazing resources that’ll make those “uh-oh” moments easier, like PBS LearningMedia’s stash of free lessons and Funbrain’s world of games that secretly teach math, reading, and more.

Honestly, it’s a lifesaver—and they won’t even realize they’re learning while they’re playing!

I’m especially excited about Funbrain, which has been such a hit over here.

It’s packed with games that make learning feel like playtime, so the kids are actually excited to jump in.

In this whirlwind of a life, it’s so easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle, especially when you’re juggling the endless duties of parenting.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we often rush through our days, from one task to the next, without really living in the moment.

It’s something I’ve been working on, and I wanted to share a bit about the beauty of slowing down.

Taking a few minutes each day to just breathe and be present can change the entire tone of our day.

I started with something simple like enjoying my morning coffee without my phone buzzing next to me.

It was just me, the warm mug in my hands, and a few quiet moments before the day kicked off.

It’s small, but you’d be surprised at how this little ritual can be a calm port in the storm of daily life.

Mindfulness isn’t just great for us parents; it’s a gift to our children too.

When we’re more present, we connect better with our little ones, whether it’s listening a bit more intently to their stories or simply enjoying the mess they make with a bit more grace.

It’s about finding joy in the ordinary, which, let’s be honest, is what life is mostly made of.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, maybe try to carve out a few pockets of peace in your day.

It could be a five-minute meditation, reading a book with your kids without glancing at your phone, or just watching the clouds with them.

Let’s remind ourselves and teach our kids that life isn’t just about moving from one checkpoint to the next.

It’s also about savoring the journey, one slow, peaceful moment at a time.

Take care and slow down.
