If you’ve been around for a while then you know my big kid is an extrovert. Despite his mama needing all the time to recharge, he thrives off of social contact. Coupled with being a blogger’s kid and being used to attending multiple events a week, he is having a hard time with social distancing. It has been a little hard for him to understand why there is no school, but he can’t do things he is used to doing. Here are some ideas to help your extrovert child deal with social distancing.

Schedule Virtual Playdates

It is a blessing to live in the age of technology. We live in a time where kids can hop on FaceTime, Skype or any other video chat platform and chat with friends and loved ones. Virtual playdates are a great way for kids to meet up and hang out while still following all the social distancing rules. And good news for mom? Everyone has to feed themselves and no extra mess to clean up!

Online Interactive Games

This may be the time to loosen the screen time reigns a little. Suupervised online play can give you child the opportunity to “play” with other kids. Roblox is my 5 year olds favorite and while supervised I feel like he is stretching his imagination skills and getting fun play in.

Head Outside

While still having to comply with social distancing, there isn’t a lockdown in place. Getting outside and getting some air important for everyone! Ride bikes, take a walk, play with bubbles and chalk. Just make sure you are getting some sun. You still have to explain that play will not be the same, but you little will probably be happy to be outside nonetheless.

Move Your Body

My friend Fallon over at CasadeFallon regularly shares videos via her IG stories of her doing KidzBop Dance Along videos with her two little ones. Extroverted kids are usually also high energy and need a way to release some of that energy while at home. Beachbody has also unlocked some of their children’s programs to help get your little ones moving!

Unplug

This is the time to get creative with your little ones. Unplug and spend time together as family. They are going to need you more than ever as they aren’t getting the in person interaction that they are not usually getting. Play games, watch movies together, paint or draw. It does not have to be a whole Pinterest project, it’s the quality time that counts!

What are some ways you are helping your extrovert child deal with social distancing? Have the had a hard time understanding?

5 Reasons Why Summer Bay Orlando is the Best Place to Book Your Next Vacation

5 Reasons Why Summer Bay Orlando is the Best Place to Book Your Next Vacation

Inside the private two bedroom villas at @caribero Inside the private two bedroom villas at @cariberoyaleorlando 

This villa literally had everything we needed for our trip. From a full primary suite to an extra room with double beds the suite was absolutely amazing. The balcony also had an amazing view and when you stay in the villas at Caribe Royale they have their own pool section in case you don’t want to head to the main pool. 

I’ve always been a fan of suites for family trips but this was perfect for our girls trip too! Are you team suite or team hotel room?

Thank you again to the team at @cariberoyaleorlando for hosting us!

As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past tr As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past trip was my first time inside Club Cool. I’ve heard of “The Beverly” plenty times but we didn’t think it’d be THAT bad. 

Why is the bad taste delayed? Why do people drink this? Why did @shayewyllie look like she was about to drink more? Why is that even still an option in the soda machine?! I have ALL THE QUESTIONS @disneyparks 🥹😅😂

Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleo Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleorlando was a vibe 🔥🔥

From appetizer all the way through dessert the food was amazing, the service was top tier and the atmosphere was perfect for @shayewyllie’s birthday dinner. Seriously, that stuffed lobster tail had to be the most amazing thing I’ve ever had.

You can also dine at this restaurant as part of @visitorlando’s Magical Nights for $60 per adult and trust me when I say it’s absolutely worth it!

Thank you so much to the team at The Venetian Chophouse for an incredible dinner!

Happy Saturday! This time last week I was waking Happy Saturday! 

This time last week I was waking up at @cariberoyaleorlando with some of my favorite people to celebrate @shayewyllie turning thirty ONcE again 😅.

Caribe Royale was the perfect home base for her birthday celebration! Between the private two bedroom villa, to the amazing on-site restaurants (Starbucks included!), the pools and water slide and the magical transportation to @disneyparks and @disneysprings the resort has everything you can think of for a magical birthday stay! The resort is honestly perfect for a family trip, girls trip, conference or solo-cation. I can’t wait to head back with the fam!

You can check my highlight for more of our trip and just wait til tomorrow when I share the amazing birthday dinner we had 😊✨💕

Thank you for hosting us @cariberoyaleorlando! Can’t wait to be back.

New from @supermoosetoys Keepy Uppy is a family fun game based off of our favorite puppy series! For 2-3 players, bop your balloon and keep it in the air to keep all of your pop tokens! The player who keeps the balloon off their hedges for the longest, WINS! 

We absolutely love @officialblueytv and we take any opportunity we get to bring the show to life at home. This game is an absolute favorite and we can’t wait for you to play too?! Are you ready?? #Bluey #BlueyKeepyUppyGame
Cmon grab your friends! Check out this fun suite Cmon grab your friends! 
Check out this fun suite we stayed in @cartoonnetworkhotel based on one of our favorites Adventure Time!!
I was really excited for us to stay in this suite because we love this show and the theming in the room was ON POINT.
The kids loved that each of the 4 bunk beds had their own tv.
I loved that there was enough room for all of us!

The reviews online are pretty mixed but you can’t go wrong staying in one of the suites! They also have a Ben10, Powerpuff Girls, and Steven Universe suite. So which would you choose?

Thank you for hosting us @cartoonnetworkhotel!!
