The Messy Mama Brain Dump is a feature where I talk about anything and everything related to parenting, being a mom, and kids.
Every week I alternate between: Colors, ABC's, numbers/counting, animals, emotions/feelings, body parts, and shapes.
I will TRY to post this every week, but we'll see how that goes.

I enjoyed the days we homeschooled, but I don't miss them. All of these look like fun :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun doing similar activities with the kids when they were little.
