We’re celebrating the big changes going on at Simple Living Media this week with a Giveaway! Each blog in the SLM family has a fabulous prize package with ONE lucky winner per blog. Each of you will have up to two chances to win per blog. Updated: make that THREE chances to win!
This Giveaway is now closed. Thank you for entering!
Check back for a winner soon.
I’m so excited that a Simple Kids reader is going to win prizes from:
1. Blue Yonder Ranch
Stefani of Blue Yonder Ranch is also a contributor to Simple Homeschool. She has written a fun and engaging series of ebooks based on the seasons. “Food For Families: Food For Thought” is the motto of the Book of Days.
Readers are treated to inspiration for creating together, seasonal experiments, recipes, and encouragement to reach out and make a difference. Each issue is chock full of ideas for families who are interested in slowing down and spending time together learning, playing, and enjoying nature.
As the video on the Blue Yonder website says, these days do not last forever … but the memories will. I am confident that the winner of these ebooks will be so pleased with the ideas and possibilities they hold.
The winner will receive a Subscription to the Book Of Days.
2. Hearth Song
Hearth Song’s motto is “toys you’ll feel good about giving” but I think you’ll agree with me that their Multi-Play Soccer Station would be pretty nice to receive! More than just a soccer goal, this station includes a target net so your little super stars can practice their aiming and trapping skills.
This versatile set could be used for football practice, too. The Hearth Song website suggests it would be great for baseball pitching practice and also for bean bag toss games. Kids will love playing with the Soccer Station: parents will love that it is a product that can store away simply in its own carrying bag. For ages three and up, it comes with the carrying bag, soccer ball, stakes, and pump (adult assembly required).
The winner will receive a Multi-Play Soccer Station.
3. SouleMama
Amanda Blake Soule is one of my favorite authors and is probably one of yours, too. Her blog is inspiring and her writing has influenced my family in many ways, including handwork ideas, family art time, and practical tips on creating magical moments in childhood.
Her books are so beloved in my house that I’m not sure they have ever actually been on the bookshelf – they are always in use! Amanda has generously offered to give copies of both of her books to a Simple Kids reader so that they can become well-loved and used often in your home, too.
The winner will receive a copy of The Creative Family

We recently taught our 6-year-old daughter to play dominoes. It’s an activity that we’re all able to play and enjoy at our own levels, and has become a favorite pastime for us all.

Now that our kids are getting a bit older, we’ve discovered how fun it is to play games together! We love all sorts of board games, card games and jigsaw puzzles. We began dragging out games when we decided to have screen-free (no computer, TV, or Wii) Sundays. Now, my kiddos choose games over those things regularly with us and with their friends!

We like to play games as a family together.
Our family loves to eat together and play together. A great night includes dinner as a family, cleaning up, bath time, and playing like crazy before bed. We also enjoy reading together!
Grace´s last blog ..Truth Teller
We love to spend time together outside. During the summer we went to tons of parks, and this winter when it isn’t too cold we take our little boy out and pull him around in the sled.

We love to do anything outside, especially go out in the boat so daddy can go fishing.

Our favorite way to spend time together is to go somewhere interesting as a family, like a museum or on a day trip to a smaller town nearby. But we also LOVE Library Day, where once a week, the whole family heads to our local library branch and help each other find books, and the daughters play with the wooden puzzles in the kids area.
My family enjoys spending time together at our family’s place at the lake. There we build sandcastles, roast marshmallows, swim, count the stars, fish, play games and truly connect as a family. It is wonderful!

We just love to be at home together! My hubby was deployed from the time our son was 4months old until he was 1 & 1/2 and has had to go away for military schools (2 weeks at a time) a few times in the year since he’s been home so anytime where we are all together at home is just wonderful!!

My girls are 4 and 2 and of late our favorite thing to do together is dance! We turn on one of the many cable music channels and be-bop away…my husband even joins in to give his little girls a special daddy-daughter dance.
Also, I want to be entered for the giveaway for this site.
Thank you!
I think our favorite way to spend time as a fmaily is simply to sit on the living room floor and play with my fifteen month old son. The dogsand even the cats will occasionally join in — sometimes it’s snuggling, sometimes it’s a tickle-fest. But it’s always us!
My daughter and I enjoy cooking together….cleaning up the mess afterwards is another story ; )

Our favorite activities together really depend on the day and the season. Spring and fall camping and hiking are things we try to do as much as possible. During the more indoor months, we like to play board games, especially yatzhee, since a 7-year-old can be as successful as his 12-year-old brother or his parents. And since Christmas, when Santa brought a Wii, we’ve gotten sucked in to family nights playing Beatles Rock Band together.
I just subscribed. Thanks!

Well, my boys are still young, so right now, we just love spending an afternoon playing on the living room floor!
Subscribed to your RSS feeds for some time now. Love reading your info.
My kids are still on the little side, but I would say besides tumbling around the living room as a family, we love going out an exploring new (and old) places together. I’m eager for the day when we can sit down and read chapter books together as well.
My favorite way to spend time together is in the kitchen — preparing, prepping and eating a meal together. I like to linger over the details — and sit and talk with them about their day.
Stacey´s last blog ..It’s Monday
We are blessed to live in a pretty walkable neighborhood, and we love to get out and walk somewhere together. The park is two blocks away, the Waffle Window (literally a window on the side of building where they sell the most amazing waffles I have ever tasted), the coffee shop, Powell’s book store, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their kids live 1/4 mile away, so we often walk to their house. It’s nice to do these things together as a family that don’t involve getting in the car.

My 8 year old son and I spend time together watching Challenge on the Food Network and Extreme Home Makeover on Sunday nights, playing the Wii, and walking (well when I can get him to slow down) on the track at the YMCA.
One of our very favorite things to do is to pull out a board game that we can all play, whether as single players or teamed-up for the littles, and gather around the table. Pick-up-sticks is a fave, and made more fun by using a set of three regular storebought games to play with!

I think our favorite family activity to do together is play games. We especially love to play Rook…it has kind of become a family tradition
