I'm not sure if you like to keep records like I do, but if so than these printables are a ton of fun. Every year I try to make a binder and keep all the memorable things we have done documented in it. It's nice to be able to go back through them later on and it will be so nice to have them when my daughters are older. I have just created a cover for our binder. You can download it below if you would like to do the same.
Ever once in awhile rainy days will come and I will hear the famous words, "I'm bored". Well friends I have came up with 5 family activities to make those rainy days fun. As a matter of fact these 5 activities will make any day fun.
Family Movie Night
What's better than cuddling up with your kids, a blanket, and a bowl of popcorn for a family movie night? On the next rainy day or evening, turn the family room into your own personal theater. Find a movie the whole family will enjoy, settle in, and enjoy the show!
Hand out fun Movie Tickets to your children to prepare them for the night. I'm sure they will be surprised and excited for the night.
Spend some quality family time together with a classic board game. Whether you are buying up real estate in Monopoly or avoiding the slides in Chutes and Ladders, playing board games is a great way to spend a rainy day at home.
Just like the fun Movie Tickets, hand out Family Game Night Tickets to your children. Once again, I bet they will enjoy them.
This is one indoor activity that is educational and fun! Reading with your child will improve their reading skills and build their enthusiasm for books. Cuddle up in a blanket with a favorite or a new book and read together. Take turns reading, or have them read to you to keep them focused and interested. Older children can also enjoy reading independently and hopefully learn to find comfort and joy in cuddling up with a good book. Another fun activity would be creating a peaceful and inviting reading space or even creating your own book.
Rainy days are perfect for getting into the kitchen with the kiddos and trying out some old or new recipes. Including them makes them feel important and helpful. Another fun activity could be creating a family recipe book. I created one with my daughters years ago and we still cherish and use it to this day.
I have created a FREE Family Recipe Book Binder Cover that you can print and use to get started.

Hello friends, I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas!
We have been super busy with the hustle and bustle of life. I'm sure you can completely relate. Things are starting to slow down a bit and we have some time to reflect back on our year. I have created some free and fun printables to help document the journey of the year. I hope you all enjoy them.
Christmas is right around the corner, and we are already seeing all the things that come with it. Reindeer for instance. Reindeer are too cool! I'm super excited to put together a reindeer unit study for my daughters and I just had to share some of my cool findings with you all and some cute printables I created.
The download above is not a complete study, but it does include some fun questions to start a study, along with some pretty fun activities, and a reindeer book list.
