I used to think I had the busiest little boys in the world. But honestly its summer, we’re stuck mostly indoors and we can’t just get up and go like we’re used to. We are spending a majority of our time inside and all of the social distancing has been a lot on my extroverted children. Couple that with trying to work from home, be productive around the house, and remember to feed everyone AND myself and I have resorted to screen time more times than I would like to admit. But I am realizing that there are a ton of indoor activities for toddlers that don’t take a lot of effort or supplies.

Children are pretty easy to please, and with minimal effort my sons have found ways to entertain themselves for hours. I have had to learn to let go a lot and that has allowed their imaginations and creativity to shine. Here is a list that we came up with together of our favorite indoor activities.

Indoor Activities for Toddlers

  • Build/play in a blanket fort
  • Build blocks
  • Play hockey with a balloon and fly swatter
  • Do Ziploc bag finger painting
  • Sort toys by color
  • Put together puzzles
  • Play follow the leader
  • Have a dance party (we do this a few times a week on our Instagram Stories)
  • Paint on newspaper
  • Decorate paper with stickers (or for kids a little older check out these awesome paint by sticker books on Amazon)
  • Squeeze water with sponges
  • Rice sensory bins (scoop rice from one container to another)
  • Play with edible playdough
  • Stack cups and knock them over
  • Make sensory bottles
  • Make “dinosaur eggs” to melt
  • Build a cardboard box fort
  • Make slime
  • Play with hand puppets/make shadow puppets
  • Fly paper airplanes
  • Bowl with bottles and a tennis ball

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.

@colorfactoryco is all dressed up for fall! We got a preview of ‘haunted hues’ and the kids loved the scavenger hunt where they had to find all the monsters! The installations are similar but the fall feels make it even more exciting! Plus we had some spooky friends join us in the ball pit! And of course.. there were treats!! 😋

If you’re looking for something to take the kids to this fall in the NYC area, I’d definitely check The Color Factory out! Ticketing info is at the link in their bio. Thank you @colorfactoryco for having us!

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.
