Free Kids Activity Calendar – March
With all three of my kids home for the next few weeks, I am trying to keep them entertained while also providing some sort of education and structure in their days. The first few days of isolation involved my kids watching Tik Tok videos all day in their pajamas while eating every snack they could find. Obviously, I needed a plan.
I did a bit of research and was totally overwhelmed by the homeschool schedules I saw on the internet, I mean…they looked intense and like a lot of work for me. I gotta be honest with you, as much as I want to be that amazing Pinterest mom, I’m just not.
Instead of trying to copy some amazing kids schedule I found online, I decided to make my own...less amazing one. My schedule is more about providing a bit of fun and education, but in a really easy and manageable way.
You can download these FREE weekly schedules by clicking on the images below. I will be sure to upload new ones every two weeks! Enjoy!
Self Isolation is Making me Rage Clean
Anyone else feeling overwhelmed with how messy their home is getting now that everyone is home? Just me? My only solace is the occasional rage clean…but I have a plan to get this home and my family back on track.
In my latest podcast I get real about my biggest struggle right now and my plan to fix it:

How to Kill the Viruses in your Home
Up until yesterday, the Coronavirus pandemic wasn’t something I was really stressing over. Here in Canada, the number of confirmed cases is still relatively low, so I wasn’t giving the virus much thought. Last night however, the impact of this virus on my family got real.
Last night, the government announced that they are cancelling all of the schools across the province for the next 3 weeks. All my children’s extra curricular activities, like hockey and Taekwondo, are also cancelled for the foreseeable future.
While the kids are thrilled that they won’t have school, they were devastated to learn that Disney World has also closed, which means our upcoming family trip to Florida will also have to be cancelled.
Meanwhile, this virus is impacting my family in another…less understandable way. After scouring the city AND online shopping sites, not only are all the disinfecting cleaners and hand sanitizer officially gone, but there is not ONE roll of toilet paper left to be purchased…anywhere. Our family is down to our last three rolls and as a family of five, this is what really has me panicking! Why I think the fact that people are hoarding toilet paper seems ridiculous, it doesn’t help the fact that there is literally NONE left. Even Amazon is backordered and will not have any available for at least a month. Now that shit (forgive the pun) is actually terrifying.
So how am I dealing with my sudden panic of the virus? I’m cleaning and disinfecting everything. While my germ killing spree may be futile, it sure does make me feel better about the entire situation.
With a lack of disinfecting cleaners in any stores (even rubbing alcohol is sold out), I’ve resorted to good-old-fashion bleach as my instrument of death. I’ve diluted bleach and scrubbed everything and anything my family has ever touched in an attempt to keep us safe. Sure my home smells like a pool, but it is definitely COVID-19 free.
If you too want to murder the germs in your home, look no further than this blog post. I’ve made you a handy printable checklist, with all the most virus-festering places to clean. So grab your bleach or other disinfecting cleaner and let’s end this thing together….because I want to be able to wipe my butt and go to Disney World!
