Family Fun at Marineland in St. Augustine

How to Throw an Epic Fortnite Birthday Party

If you have school aged kids, then you have likely heard of the phenomenon that is Fortnite.  Sometimes, I think that it is all my boys talk about and want to do with friends.  To be honest, I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to the actual game until my oldest requested it for his birthday party theme.  Immediately, I started to pretend to tidy up the basement while he played to catch a glimpse of the game and of course browsed Pinterest.  We decided to do a virtual zoom party because of those vulnerable around us.  What a crazy year it has been!  It worked out great because once the cake and presents were over, the boys started gaming together online.  Each of the guests also received a supply drop before the party too.

If you are looking for Fortnite party ideas, I got you covered so don’t freak out like I did because you are not in the know.  All the decorations and party supplies are detailed below.

Toddler Boy Room Makeover – Things That Go

I am so excited to finally share with you the bedroom makeover that we completed for our youngest boy.  It was long overdue since he outgrew his toddle bed.  I think I was holding on to the last bit of him being a baby for as long as I could.  Like most little boys, he is into all things racing cars and automobiles.  We must have a million matchbox and hot wheels cars.  He could play for hours on playmats running the cars along the roads and this became my inspiration for his room.

Are you looking to makeover your toddlers bedroom or change up your preschoolers current room, then keep following along for all the details to recreate this room in your home.

HOW TO CREATE A VIRTUAL LEARNING SPACE FOR KIDS

There has been a lot of uncertainty during this past year with a pandemic and kids virtual learning at home.  However, one thing that I know for sure is that teachers don’t get enough credit.  We went from in school learning to virtual learning overnight and we all had to adapt very quickly.  Each of the boys needed a space to set up and complete school at home.  One boy was in the dining room, another in the kitchen, and a third in the living room.  It was chaos especially with us both working from home, but we made it…barely!  We have always wanted to complete a homework station for the boys, and this was just the push that we needed to get it all done. 

After the initial stay at home orders, we weren’t sure if or when the boys would be going back to school.  Once we did go back to school in person, the boys were sent home at different times to quarantine in the fall and winter months.  Even if you are not virtual learning or homeschooling, this space would be great to have for homework and arts & crafts.

All aboard The Polar Express!  This year our elf on the shelf, Snowball, arrived back for the Christmas season riding on the Polar Express.  Christmas is the perfect time of the year to indulge in special family traditions like the North Pole Breakfast.  I secretly love the idea of using the Elf to help keep the boys in line.  I also enjoy moving the Elf around in fun mischievous ways, that is when I remember to move it.  The North Pole Breakfast is a festive way to bring a little magic to your family’s holiday season.

Delivery Driver Snack Basket Idea and Sign

With Christmas just a few weeks away, our delivery drivers are working extra hard with longer hours.  I don’t know about you, but we are getting deliveries every day and multiple times a day.  Only down side is that I can’t hide all the packages from the husband when he works from home right now.  2020 has been a different year to say the least and every delivery driver has been working hard all year during this pandemic.  More than ever, we wanted to show our appreciation by providing refreshments for the road. 

Rain, snow, or shine, these delivery drivers have showed up day after day.  Now with the added pandemic, they could be considered front line workers.  Without them, many of us wouldn’t have the things we needed this year especially when the whole country was shelter in place or in quarantine.  Never been more grateful for toilet paper!  Many thanks to them and their families for the work they do and the sacrifices that they made.
