By | | , ,

Circle Square Ranch is a Christian, non-denominational, non-profit organization, welcoming youth of any faith and race. There are five different CircleSquare locations including two in Ontario as well as one in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. I went to camp as a young teen and had the time of my life. I made memories that will last a life time from my experiences at camp! I remember feeling nervous inside at the prospect of being away from home for a week, but the idea of that freedom also excited me! The nerves quickly disappeared after I got checked in and got … Continue reading →

It’s amazing how children can influence each other! Kids LOVE to watch other kids. If other kids are eating healthy, your children might feel encouraged to follow suit.Copy-Kids is a DVD made for young children that encourages them to have positive, healthy eating habits. The DVD is produced for children as young as 6 months (because we know how much babies love to watch other babies and children) up to the age of 5 years. My personal opinion is that 5 years old might be pushing it as far as the interest level. However, for children younger than 5 years, … Continue reading →

There are many APPS out their for young children, but one of the more fun and educational ones that I have seen is Kandoobi ~animal edition. This preview video shows you exactly what the Kandoobi App looks like:As a former Kindergarten teacher, I tend to be rather critical of various computer games and apps made for young children. When I approve of an app that is geared towards young children, it is because I truly believe it is a positive and effective teaching tool. Kandoobi definitely meets my criteria for choosing an educational app for my children to play with. … Continue reading →

Open it With a Smile This Mother’s Day ~no matter WHAT it is!

I recently read this Guest post from Tales of Mommyhood over at One Sleepy Mom about appreciating our Mother’s Day Gifts. When a child makes a card or creates a gift to give you, they have already given you the best gift they possibly can: something straight from their heart. They have used their sweet, precious hands to make you something because they love you, admire you and want to genuinely please you. It might be difficult to place something that doesn’t look like professional decor up on your mantel to display, but think about how much pride your child … Continue reading →
