Groundhogs Day

-
Are we in store for more winter or is spring on its way?  One little rodent knows.  Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his underground home on Saturday February 2nd and proclaim our fate.  This year is the 127th celebration of this ceremony.

CLICK HERE to print off more of these Color me Phil's.  Have your kids color in Phil and maybe even make their own predictions.  If they think it is going to be spring soon have them color in sunshine.  But if they think it is going to be six more weeks of winter have them give Phil a cap or mittens.  Then you can see if they have a future in weather forecasting.

 According to Groundhog.org, Phil is correct 100% of the time.  Other websites put his accuracy level around 39%.

Read more about Groundhogs Day in the Book "Groundhog Day" a Rookie Read-About Holidays book.

My husband and I love the movie Groundhogs Day but it is a bit long and repetitive for the kids.  Once they became teens they were able to watch it with us but it does have adult subject matter anyway so best kept till after the little ones are in bed anyway.

Join us over at the Stay at Home Mom Google+ Community and tell us how you celebrate Groundhogs day or what fun activities you do with the kids to teach them about the weather.

A great way to stay in touch with all of the goings on in Punxsutawney during this exciting event is to follow Phil on Facebook.  If you are making plans to travel to Pennsylvania you may want to check out Travelingmom.com before you go.

    Il Giorno della Marmotta è una tradizione divertente che unisce il folklore meteorologico alle attività per famiglie, rendendolo un'ottima opportunità per insegnare ai bambini le stagioni e le previsioni. La storia di Punxsutawney Phil, che emerge ogni anno, suscita curiosità ed entusiasmo sia nei bambini che negli adulti. Leggere libri a tema e dedicarsi a semplici lavoretti, come disegni da colorare, può trasformare la giornata in un'esperienza di apprendimento coinvolgente a casa. Anche classici come il film "Ricomincio da capo" contribuiscono al fascino di questa celebrazione unica per bambini più grandi e genitori. E quando il tempo in famiglia finisce, potete godervi un po' di relax davanti allo schermo con i film di questo altadefinizione film in streaming online.

Guest Post by:  Jana Free Moms want the best for their kids. They want their children to feel good and to be  happy. They want them with smiles on their faces and joy in their heart. As a mom, do you often wonder if there is some kind of magic object that you  can pull out of a hat, or a magic spell you could cast, to create this perfect  scenario? I’m pretty sure there’s no object or spell, but I do know that a healthy  environment is like a magic wand that can keep kids’ eyes bright and their bodies  full of good energy. How do we moms create a healthy environment for our kids? We focus on  keeping physical spaces clean and we do more. We make sure that each aspect  of our kids’ lives is as free from toxins as we can get it. Which means we look at  the food we eat as well as the attitude we keep. The following are 5 tips for creating a healthy environment for kids. 1. Model Good Food Choices Children usually eat what they’re...

Summer Book Club for all ages

It almost seems incredible but I have heard people say to me "I just don't have time to read". That is the precise reason a person must read! And for those of you who have caught yourself saying that then make your first book one on time management. YES! We do have time to read. When our kids are very little we must read to them. The more we read to them the more they will grow up loving books. Kids love books that they can grab ahold of and turn the pages and look at the silly pictures even before they have a sense that there are words on those pages. But the more we read to them the more they figure it out. And when you have little kids like this in your house it might seem like you don't have time to read but you don't always have to read baby books to them. There was a great scene in the movie Three Men and a Baby where Tom Selleck's character was reading Sports Illustrated or some other grownup magazine to the baby. It didn't matter what th...

Holiday Season

-
 We're back. But more on that later! This year's holiday season is upon us and with everything going on in the world we have to get a little more creative to bring the sparkle for our little ones. This year is a great year to get back to making holiday chains out of recycled paper and a little scotch tape and spending more time snuggling and less time stressing. With holiday budgets having to be watched a little more closely every penny counts when making your holiday purchasing decisions. One of my favorite holiday traditions is the advent calendar . The only reason I am bringing this one up so early - it's not even Thanksgiving yet! - is it's important to start your Advent calendar on the first day of December. That means a little planning ahead. The advent calendar gives our family a chance to all come together and at least once a day talk about the real meaning of the season and at the same time getting a little surprise each and every day. One of our family's f...
