Blogging With Kids: A Learning Zone

I’ve been working behind the scenes with Rainy Day Mum on a new blog. It’s a blog for bloggers that blog about their kids. It going to be full of tips and tricks of blog how-tos, social media tips, along with connecting you with other bloggers of the same niche. If you’re a ‘kid blogger’ join the community!

Also, if you’re new to blogging or want to start one, check out the blog.

The blog is Blogging With Kids.

Right now, we’re taking submissions for the August Carnival: School Days. You can submit any posts that are school related. I look forward to going through them and featuring them at the end of the month!

We’ve been at the farm a lot this week. And Grandma handed Henry her camera one morning. Henry couldn’t stop taking pictures of the Green Tractor. A lot of pictures. I’m curious how they turned out. I know there were a few that actually were of the tractor.

This next week is all about school.

What Parents Have to Say…

There's always something new for us to discover, as well as old favorites. I am so grateful to have activities handed to us... Fun and easy ones that can be put together in a moment's notice! You're awesome Jamie and I appreciate you sharing your activities and ideas!! - Melissa C.

"I absolutely love that this takes all the prep work out of engaging my children. It is so easy to just put up the calendar, and glance at it for inspiration when we are in a funk." - The Activity Room Member, Rachel


I have found it impossible to Google ideas from a million different sites, get organized, shop for supplies, etc. This is exactly what I have been searching for! Thanks for making something so organized and easy to use. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Melissa C.


This takes down the need to scour the internet for ideas. It's like looking for a recipe on the internet, so many options that often times it is less overwhelming to look in a book on the shelf than stress about too many options. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Robyn G


Thank you so much for these activities. They have proven to me that I CAN be that mom that does cool and creative things with her kids! And those cool and creative things can actually be quite simple! What a revelation. Thank you!! - 7 Day Challenge, Katie M.


I feel like a new mama having so many fun ideas. I used to dread the afternoon, after naps, as it was so boring doing the same thing day after day but now I look forward to our "play" time! - Haley S.

You have changed how I spend time with my kid in so many positive ways! I am now one happy dad that no longer wonders what I am going to do with this little guy for the next 12 hours :P Your site was this first time dad life saver! - Jack C.

It is hard to think of things to keep the 3 year old entertained and engaged while taking care of the baby. Everything we have tried so far from your website, the three year old has loved. Your ideas are so simple and he can do them for hours. HEAVEN! - Karen I.
