Pets Mini Tot School Unit

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mott’s®. The opinions and text are all mine. #SecretLifeOfMotts As we continue our incredibly lazy and informal tot school over the summer, I go with Squeaker’s lead. Some days she’s definitely more interested in sitting down at the table with me to do something and other days, she’d rather just play. And though we do try to limit screen time, sometimes things on TV will catch her attention. I use those moments to plan for a mini tot school unit that we can spread out over a few days or just do a few activities in the morning. “The Secret Life of Pets © 2016 Universal Studios.

With the warmer weather finally settling in, we’re planning to take more of our activities outside. Whether that’s just getting outside to play or taking some of our sensory and learning activities outdoors; we want to make the most of these sunny days. It also helps to get outside because it means longer nap-times for her. Squeaker enjoys being outdoors, probably more than I do, but that’s because I have seasonal allergies to deal with. Still, I don’t want that to…

We're exploring zebras and the letter z in this mini tot school unit.

We’re doing another informal summer tot school with Squeaker this year. Last year’s attempt at Mommy Camp didn’t get too far. But that was also due to poor planning on my part. Lack of interest from Squeaker also contributed. This year we’re taking daily walks (weather permitting), playing outside, having plenty of indoor picnics and tea parties, building with blocks… and just enjoying the moments. Along the way, if she learns something- great. But it’s not the focal point of summer for us. Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in an A to Z of Animals series with some amazing kid bloggers. We’re up last with the focus on the letter Z and we chose the Zebra for our animal.

Free This Little Piggy Tot Pack

One thing that I’d like to explore with Squeaker are Nursery Rhymes. We do quite a few of them already and while Itsy Bitsy Spider remains as one of her favorites; she also enjoys This Little Piggy. Maybe next year, we’ll spend a month or two exploring nursery rhymes a little bit more but in the meantime, I’m going to start building up resources. The mini tot packs will usually have the same aspects/components to them though I’ll change it up on occasion so it’s not always the same material. Keep reading to see what you’ll get in the This Little Piggy tot pack! This turned out to be quite a cute little pack and I think, once I have more nursery rhymes pack done,…

I will preface by saying that these are inspired by the children’s book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and that I am in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Bill Martin Jr. or Eric Carle. We just happen to be fans of the book and I have this clipart that I purchased for a printable pack so I thought- why not! This is my first attempt at creating printable Valentine’s Day cards for kids and I hope to have a few more ready for you soon. I also plan on doing a set of printable packs with the Brown Bear clipart so hopefully we’ll have that soon too. We’ve done tot school very informally this year so far and it’s mostly…

Printable Blog Goal Worksheets

I’m a very goal oriented person. It helps me to put things in perspective and gives me a more clear path as to how to achieve what I want. Sometimes I set small goals, sometimes it’s big goals. And sometimes it’s small goals that lead towards a bigger goal. Whatever the case may be, I’ve found that setting goals helps me out and keeps me on track. This applies to many aspects of my life- be it household, money, or blogging. For example, one of my goals for next year is to earn a steady part time income from blogging. Right now it’s touch and go and I’d love to see that become stable. I have a plan, almost in place, for reaching that goal….
