Please enjoy this guest post by FTD Designs and their festive free stencil printables that can be found in my shop for FREE.

Warm sweaters, pumpkin spice everything, colorful leaves tumbling to the ground — fall is easily the coziest time of the year. And let us not forget about Halloween, the day that rings in a series of holidays we celebrate during the colder months! While we love kids roaming the streets for candy in their cute costumes, tombstones, spiders and bloody teeth don’t really scream classy or chic. If you love Halloween but don’t feel like messing with your design style, look no further. We curated Halloween plant decor that accentuates your style instead of ruining it!

I've always been envious of those super cute back to school signs that I see other parents post with a colorful chalkboard sign documenting how much their child has grown and I've wondered how in the world do they have time to get it done when I feel lucky to just snap a quick picture before my kiddos get on the school bus.
​
I now have two versions for you! One is a super cute faux chalk board sign with colorful lettering and the other is great for those that only have a black and white printer and it uses less ink. So now I am excited to offer two different versions for you to choose from. Yes, of course they are both FREE!

Tips for Trips with Kids

Travel just makes my heart sing, but preparing for a trip with kids can be overwhelming. 

One of my absolute favorite things is taking trips. We don't get to do a lot of big trips. We live in a super small town and the cities, where I grew up, is about 3 hours away. We do take a lot of little trips for this and that when we typically spend a night or two.
​
Four huge travel tips for trips with kids!  Great tips that will make vacations with kids more enjoyable. I'm telling ya these tips are sanity savers that will have your next trip better from beginning​ to end.

Summer Learning Loss Opportunity

Over the summer kids lose an average of ​one full month of reading skill with an even greater loss of 2.6 months in math, this is often referred to as summer learning loss. Not only do they loose previously learned material but it also takes 4-6 weeks for teachers to reteach students after summer vacation.
It's not all bad news, if your optimist, because this situation also presents us with a great opening to help our kids catch up in areas they struggle or even get a bit ahead. Summer learning loss offers us as parents such an ​amazing opportunity to help our kids stay strong in what they have learned and even catch up in areas that they need help in.

Create a good habit - teaching kids about cleaning

5/8/2018

Guest Post by: Zowie Ashton from Flat Cleaning London

Good habits start early ​

Teaching responsibility takes time, patience, devotion and consistency. Whether your goal is to teach kids to help with household chores or how to take proper care of their own rooms the process is similar. Kids should be taught that cleaning is not an obligation but just a necessary habit- a habit which will improve not only the overall look of their own rooms but will also help them build a character. Actually, cleaning and tiding up after oneself is the brightest example of a responsibility that each and every kid ought to learn to experience from an early age. We believe that the earlier a kid is involved in the cleaning chores, the sooner he or she will create a good habit.

There are several posts you can find on the web about how to make your own cleaning products but sometimes it is hard to find the time to go the DIY route particularly for busy moms so I wanted to find some other options.
For some time now I have been looking for store bought cleaning products that are safer for my family. I hesitate to call anything truly safe but "safer" seems to be a more achievable goal.

    Hi! I'm Robin

    Welcome to Robin's Blog on NEATLINGS. Here you will find loads of stuff on chores for kids & lots of free printables.

    Why Chores? I created a chore system for my kids that works amazingly! It's not like any chore system you've used before and it WORKS! So, with that you'll find lots of stuff on chores. Please check it out at our home page.

    I really enjoy making printables for kids. They are fun for the kids, they are fun to make, and I enjoy making something that I can share, so I just keep at it. I hope you find some you enjoy too. If you signup for our newsletter you will get access to all of our FREEBIES! You will see the signup form at the bottom of our home  page.

    I'm a born and raised big city girl who decided to move to a small town so that my husband could follow his dreams of being a farmer. I'm not ready to move to a farm place as my husband would like but we compromised on a darling small town, with heartwarming people, a beautiful community, and an absolutely fabulous school. With the move I left my fortune 500 career and became a stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful children.

    For the record I am not someone that loves chores or housework in fact it is quite the opposite I am not a very "domestic" gal but I love my children to all ends and because of that I strive to teach them everything they need and to cultivate contributing, confident, can-do kids!​
