Few tips on how to engage the kids during summer holidays.

Hi Cupcakes💓.

 We have been enjoying the holiday for weeks here in the UAE. for 2 entire weeks! I mean, if my kid is not causing a mess in the house, watching TV, or giving me a reason to overuse the word "DO NOT," it has been really challenging for me to control her.


However, the holiday has just started for other people in other parts of the world. I've been experimenting with a few ideas to keep the kids occupied, and so far I've been successful!

Do you have comparable circumstances at home? Here are some of the things I have already done with them and some of the things I still intend to accomplish.

To my greatest surprise, she came up with some amazing suggestions when I sat down with her and asked her what she would like to do that was fun.

1. The zoo is on the list of things to do because she wanted to go there. I consider this to be educative and enjoyable for her as well.

2. She usually goes to the parks with her friends when I take her. She actually benefits much from social interaction with her peers.


3. We make sure she sees educational or instructive TV shows like Kids Got Talent, kids documentaries (Nat Geo Kids), and others on YouTube in addition to watching cartoons all day.

4. Not every day eat at home! We occasionally go on family outings while we watch them as they play with their friends.

5. Mostly, we go for evening strolls.

6. She will either take piano lessons, swimming lessons, or gymnastics, depending on my plans. I'm still looking for the greatest options nearby. I think it's fantastic for kids to have a variety of skills. The earlier they begin, the better.

7. We also go to the beach since summer wouldn't be summer without it.

Kids need Energy given food to keep them active and it is always necessary to have them burn them all out as well. These are my few tips,

Does anyone have any recommendations? Since I have practically used up everything I have and there is still one month left, please my dear friends share in the comments area Biko!

Have a beautiful week ahead.

    Raising children is a lot of investment, that's why I realise everyday. It makes you appreciate your parents more. I agree with you that children must be exposed to as many activities and skills that can be availed to them. It will take your time, money and energy but it's worth it in the end I believe.

    Indoor activities like cooking and baking together is fun and a learning experience. Play dough play and also quiet time activities like giving them a book even though they are just flipping through the pages is a learning experience too. Painting is fun too. Mix food colourings that are edible for babies or toddlers let them paint and taste if they want to. It’s a win win. They develop their pincer grisp and also enhance their taste senses.

    Thank you for sharing these tips, they come very useful. I’m planning to do some baking with my daughter as well. And also make popsicle with/for them from the scratch. Talking about social skills and good interactions I registered them at an indoor play area since it’s very hot to go outdoor so they are able to play there for a couple of hours daily except other things come up….

Simple things in life!

 It's the simple things in life for me! The most recent time I had rain was in 2019! I usually get visions of raindrops in my imagination after talking to my family back home and hearing that it was pouring rain. Apart from the drops she sees on TV, my 4-year-old daughter has never experienced or witnessed drops in real life. We are all aware that this year's high levels of global warming are a result of human activity, including rising greenhouse gases, deforestation, industrial activity, the earth's feedback loop, agricultural activity, changes in the sun's strength, etc. Some regions of the world—including the UK, Europe, China, and some sections of the USA—experienced heat in a tremendous way this year (2022) such that it never happened before. So when I noticed the cloud started to display symptoms of rain, it wasn't such a shock! Finally, two days ago, it rained "Cats and Dogs". The majority of us found it to be an amazing moment because we had reall

Tales often told about women.

 Hey Lovies,💓 We frequently hear tales of women or ladies who got married and neglected their own needs. Usually, we automatically leap to the conclusion that she became less beautiful to her husband because "oh she became too comfy or perhaps started eating too much."😕 Actually, in my perspective, those are correct sentences to some extent. However, in the instances where it has actually occurred, don't we believe there is a reason why this occurs?  She takes care of her own, which is a terrific quality in a woman. If given the chance, the majority of women would go above and above to make sure their house is a secure place to live. The husband and child(ren) are usually taken care of first, and they frequently neglect their own needs in the process. Even though the husband is older (In most cases), there have been instances where he appears much younger than the wife. Give a woman a house, and she will make it into a home, according to an old proverb. The precise mean

Welcome back message.

 I'm excited to be back.  I sincerely apologize for the wait. Life has been going on. Going back to work and adjusting to reality after the lockdown (what an experience that was!) was a little daunting, and we later learned we were expecting our second child (I will share highlights of that journey eventually). As we all know, balancing everything was a little too much. Being in the diaspora alone without having access to extended family and all the support that entails is interesting! Well, I'm back now.  I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who supported, pushed, and helped me to restart this blog. It means a lot to me a lot. I can assure you that this time, we are going to have fun gisting, gossiping, and even ranting about different topics. I am excited about this new journey!
