Overview:

This blog is a random concoction and blend of my thoughts, interests, and daily observations. Currently, I am a lover of tea, indoor house plants, trying new foods, and learning about different cultures. I work for the public schools and despite all the downsides that most of us are aware of, it is a job that I am grateful for and feel proud to show up at everyday. Some thoughts here will reflect my experiences at work.

Kids' Indoor & Outdoor Activities

I have collected some crafts and supplies for the volunteer projects and I am still searching last minute for inspiring activity ideas. This page has my favorite outdoor activities ideas so far:

Many of the games bring back dusty memories of my own childhood joys.

What I am bringing to Marrakech:
I have tried to keep things as compact and lightweight as possible in anticipation of stopovers where I want to avoid dragging around a painfully heavy suitcase. Unfortunately, I haven't yet mastered the art of packing lightly so that is probably exactly what will occur.

Art Kit with markers, crayons, paint, chalk, paper

Finger paint, paint brushes, glue sticks, craft shapes

Stickers, feathers, colored wires, origami paper, stamps

Colored bubbles (I don't recall having these back in the day), balls, jump rope
