How To Make Moving Easier For Your Kids

If you’ve ever moved your family across the street, a new state, or across the country, moving takes its toll on everyone, but mostly our children. Children can feel powerless when they are having to leave a familiar location and because they don’t have any input in any decision. The best thing to do when making this transition is to involve them as much as you can. Below are a few steps to help make it easier for you and your children. 

 

       1. Create A Wish List:

   Searching for a new home is an exciting time and asking what everyone is looking for can make it special to involve your children. Do you want a larger backyard to play in, a basement that has room to run around, separate rooms for a home office and bedrooms? These are thoughts that everyone can help with and if able, look at the homes together. 

 

       2. Pack A Treasure Box:

   A fun idea if your child is nervous about moving to a new home is          allowing them to pack a box that they can decorate and put in their favorite items. Allow them to decorate their box with stickers, markers, or colored paper. Once their box is filled with their favorite treasures, they can carry the box with them in the car or a backpack to their new home. 

 

       3. Let Them Pick Out Paint:

   If you are moving to a home that allows you to paint your walls, bring home various paint swatches so your child can pick a color that they want. This could make it into a fun art project as well. Have them paste a snapshot of their bed and furniture onto a sheet of paper and figure out the different paint colors they want to like around their furniture. This can also be a time where they can map out how they want their room to look, where they want their furniture to be, and where they want pictures or posters hung before they even set foot in their new room. 

 

         4. Host A Goodbye Party Via Zoom:

   Although it’s hard to see people during a pandemic, one way to make it memorable for your kids is hosting a goodbye party via Zoom. This will help bring closure to friendships they are leaving behind and keep it simple. Everyone can share a memory or moment about them or dress in a certain theme. I’m sure your child will appreciate the effort you put into making it special for them. 

 

          5. Tour The New School:

   Switching schools can be a huge adjustment for any child. Be positive about the experience and take the cues about how they are feeling. See if you can get a class list from the school office and arrange a playdate with any new classmates before school even begins to break the ice. Also, try and tour the school and where the students go before they have their first day so they don’t get lost and do start to slowly become familiar with everything to build up their confidence. 

Image: Moving Solutions

         6.  Hire Professionals When You Feel Burnt Out:

   As parents, we do put a lot of pressure on ourselves to do it all but ultimately this is not the case. If you are feeling burnout, do yourself a favor and hire professionals to help take care of the packing essentials for you. If you live in the Tennessee area, a quality company to call is Moving Solutions. This company is one of the top moving business’s because of  they put the customer first. Their trucks have all of their moving equipment that includes padding, protective wrap for your belongings, and wardrobes to keep things in their spot from the time they enter the truck, to when they need to be unloaded. They also do any necessary disassembly and reassembly as well as palace everything in your new home where you request it! Each Nashville long distance moving employee is there with experience, reliable and honest feedback to help make your move as easy and worry-free! 

 

While moving can be a stressful time for you and your children, make it as memorable and exciting as you can for everyone. Allow them to be open and honest with their feeling as you are to them when the big day arrives. Having open communication can be helpful to let out frustration, anxiety, or nerves which is completely normal. Above all, know that their nerves will pass and they’ll soon be making lifelong friends and enjoy the new location sooner than they think. 

 

Giveaway: Organizing Tips for Your Home (Featuring Ring Pops)

Did you know that an unorganized home can actually impact your mental health? Some studies even show an association between clutter and excess weight!

As we plan to take on 2022, if we do nothing else, let’s get organized and watch as the other aspects of our life become a little easier to manage.

 

We want to make getting organized a little easier, so we enlisted some of social media’s leading organization masters including:

Organized_Simplicity – “When organizing your pantry, always incorporate your home’s aesthetic to ensure flow between spaces. Without compromising functionality, incorporate containment that blends with the surrounding spaces, keeping true to grouping like categories for proper organization. Add a label for the finishing touch!”

 


Everything.envy – “Organizing your Ring Pops by “flavor” in clear canisters or bins gives that “Candy Store” feel and makes it easy for everyone to choose their favorite.”

SpiffOrganizing – “1. Organize your snacks by category and then color for an easy find

2. Fill up canisters with your favorite goodies, place the backstock in a bin on the top shelf.

7 Ways to Cultivate A Positive Mindset

“A positive mindset is a fundamental key to self-development and success in any area of life. In this blog post, we’ll cover seven ways that you can cultivate a more positive perspective on your day-to-day life.”

Via Pexels 

 

1) Start Your Day With A Positive Affirmation

 

Positive affirmations are a great way to start the day positively. Simply repeat an affirmation such as “I am happy and confident” or “Today will be filled with success and joy.” Repeat it out loud, in front of the mirror if possible – this makes it more effective! It is important that you truly believe what you say when repeating your positive affirmation; otherwise, they won’t work! Try different ones until you find one that resonates with you. Some people prefer using scripture from their own faith tradition, while others look for generic positivity online. Do whatever feels right for YOU! You’ll never regret starting your day off on a positive note!! If saying something out loud isn’t your thing, then simply write down your affirmation and post it somewhere you will see it every day.

 

2) Make Time For Yourself Each Day 

 

One of the best ways to have a more positive mindset is to make time for yourself each day. This could be as simple as taking a relaxing bath at the end of the day or reading your favorite book. You must find something that makes YOU happy and relaxes you—taking some “you” time each day allows you to reflect on your day and assess how things went positively or negatively. This helps you start off tomorrow with a fresh perspective!

 

3) Visualize What You Want To Achieve  

 

Visualization is a great way to achieve your goals. When you visualize what you want to happen, you’re putting yourself in a position to make it happen! For example, if you want to lose weight, picture yourself looking and feeling thinner. If you want to get a new job, visualize yourself shaking hands with the interviewer and answering all their questions confidently. The more specific you are about what you want to achieve, the better! Make sure that your visualization includes feelings of happiness and joy – this will motivate you even further!

 

4) Surround Yourself With Positive People   

 

Do you have people in your life that bring you down? If so, it is time to distance yourself from these negative influences. Choose instead to surround yourself with positive and encouraging people who will lift you up when times get tough! These can be friends or family members – anyone who makes YOU feel good about yourself! 

 

5) Count Your Blessings   

 

Every day, take some time to write down everything you’re grateful for in your life. This is another great way to start the day on a positive note! Focusing on what you have instead of what you don’t will do wonders when it comes to cultivating positivity in your mindset!! For example, if someone cuts in front of you while driving and causes an accident that could’ve injured or killed you – be thankful that you are unharmed and this person has learned their lesson about road safety! 

 

6) Seek Help When You’re Struggling 

 

When you’re feeling down, it can be tough to get out of that negative headspace on your own. This is why it’s important to seek help from a professional when needed! Visit https://www.sunshinebehavioralhealth.com/texas/lubbock/ for more information. They will be able to provide you with the tools and resources necessary to overcome whatever you are struggling with. But, again, a positive mindset is key for self-development – don’t try to do it all on your own!

 

7) Meditate Regularly 

 

Meditation is a great way to clear your mind and cut out all the noise that surrounds you on a daily basis. In addition, it allows you time to reflect without distractions! There are many different types of meditation techniques, so find one that works for you. For example, some people prefer guided meditations while others like doing body scans or simply focusing their attention on their breathing. Do whatever feels right for you – if nothing else, try it out just once! You never know where this could lead!!

 

In conclusion,  positive thinking is a simple way to create happiness in your life! Not only will you feel better about yourself, but you’ll also be more productive and efficient. So try these seven tips today and see if they work for you – what have you got to lose?

Ace and the Christmas Miracle

We got Ace and The Christmas Miracle free in exchange for an honest post.  All opinions are our own.

You all know I LOVE my holiday movies.  This one was fun and full of adventure.  We had a great movie night a little popcorn and a great movie make sure to pick it up for the holidays .

This quirky holiday comedy means fun for every member of the family! Deep in debt to Big Freddie, kindhearted con man Tony gets a chance to change his life when he meets Amanda (Brande Roderick, “Baywatch”), mother of young Daniel. She wants to hire Tony to kidnap her brother’s horse Ace (voiced by Jon Lovitz) – but after Tony and Ace bump heads, Tony finds he can communicate with the wisecracking nag. Can Ace convince the other racehorses to help Tony get rich at the New Year’s Day derby?

This was a unique holiday comedy that teaches us that there is good in everyone and that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.  The star of the show was definitely Ace, the kind hearted horse who loved his boy Daniel unconditionally.

Bring home Ace and the Christmas Miracle on digital and dvd today from LionsGate.

How to Turn Your Home Into an Entertainer’s Dream

Entertaining is the best way to make time with family and friends feel more special, but it can also be difficult for those who don’t have the knowledge to do so. That said, here are some tips for turning your house into an entertainer’s dream. With these few simple tricks, you’ll be able to host parties with ease.

#1 Landscape your garden

 

The first impression is always the most important, and your garden is no exception. If you want to make an excellent first impression on guests, landscape your garden so that it’s attractive and inviting. This could mean adding some flower beds, trimming the lawn, or putting in a nice patio area.

 

Once your guests are inside, you’ll want to keep them entertained. One way to do this is by creating different spaces for different activities. For example, have a separate sitting area with comfortable chairs and a coffee table, and an eating area where you can put out a buffet table.

 

If you have children, be sure to create a play area where they can run around and let off some steam. And don’t forget about the kitchen! Create a “bar” area where guests can congregate and help themselves to drink while you’re cooking.

#2 Build a patio or deck

 

If you don’t have a garden or want to create more outdoor space, consider building a patio or deck. This is the perfect place for hosting barbecues and parties in the summer months. You can either do it yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. Just make sure that you have enough space for all your guests! A good rule of thumb is to allow around three square feet per person. Just be sure to have professionals like Renewal by Anderson patio doors install everything – remember, you want everything to look perfect!

 

If you’re short on space, consider adding a pergola or gazebo. These structures provide shade and can be used as shelter from the rain or wind. Patios and decks are also great places to install a hot tub or swimming pool. It’s the ultimate way to relax with guests and enjoy the outdoors.

#3 Update your lighting

 

Lighting is crucial for entertaining, and you should think carefully about what kind of atmosphere it will create. Try adding modern or vintage lights to your living room so that it feels more stylish and inviting. If the rest of your house doesn’t have great lighting, consider putting in some lamps to make certain areas brighter. You can also add fairy lights around doorways or on shelves to give off a romantic ambiance.

 

Another option is installing under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen area, which provides good light when cooking but leaves the surrounding area dark when not needed – perfect for an evening party! As well as providing practical illumination, try decorating with pretty chandeliers to create a luxurious look in dining rooms or bedrooms.

#4 Make your kitchen more spacious

 

If you want to be able to cook and chat with your guests at the same time, make sure that your kitchen is big enough. Also, try adding a second sink so more than one person can wash up at once. You might also like to add some overhead cupboards, which provide extra storage space for platters and crockery. If there isn’t any countertop space available, consider using a bar or portable island unit instead – these can easily be moved around as needed. Another great idea is installing under-cabinet lighting in this area too (just like you did in the living room). 

#5 Set up a tv outside

 

If you want to be able to watch the latest sporting event or a popular show during your party, consider setting up a television outside. Just make sure it’s positioned in such a way that guests can see and hear properly (i.e., not behind them). You might also like to install some outdoor speakers which will enable everyone at the party to follow along with what’s happening on screen – especially useful for watching films together! 

 

Also, if you have a pool, this is the perfect place to put your tv so that guests can keep an eye on their children while they’re swimming. With these tips under your belt, you’re ready to host an unforgettable party this summer. So get planning now and turn your home into an entertainer’s dream today!

#6 Build a fire pit

 

If you’re looking for a way to make your parties even more special, consider building a fire pit. This can be used to cook food over an open flame or simply provide extra warmth and atmosphere on a cool evening. There are lots of different ways to build a fire pit, so it’s perfect for any budget.

 

For example, you could use bricks, stones, or metal containers – whatever suits your style and garden layout best. Once it’s built, all you need is some logs (or charcoal), and you’re ready to go! Make sure that the area around the pit is clear of flammable materials, though, just in case things get too hot.

#7 Have a guest bedroom ready

 

If you’re expecting a lot of guests for your summer party, it’s a good idea to have a guest bedroom ready and waiting. This will ensure that everyone has somewhere comfortable to sleep in and won’t have to worry about finding an available hotel room. You can either use an existing spare bedroom or set up some temporary beds in another part of the house (like the dining room). Just make sure there’s enough space for people to move around and get dressed comfortably. Having a guest bedroom ready also gives your guests an opportunity to spend more time with you and get to know you better. 

 

So, if you’re looking to throw an unforgettable summer party, make sure to include some of these tips! With a bit of preparation, your home will be transformed into the perfect entertainer’s dream. So, have fun and enjoy your guests!
