I am counting down the days until school resumes. It feels like the longest 2 weeks ever. I have not been able to hear myself think with the constant talking, fighting and yelling. It’s like they feel they have to compete to be the loudest and thoroughly enjoy playing ‘How can push mum over the edge and send her bat shit crazy today?’. I’ll be honest; I love it when they go to school. I get to reclaim a portion of my sanity and take pleasure in a cup of coffee WHEN IT’S HOT!! Oh it really is the little things that bring me joy. Lol. It’s not all bad when they are on holidays because we do get to discover who the kids are again because they change so often but a few minutes of peace wouldn’t go astray. Counting down!

counting down the days

My boys teachers are constantly telling me how well they get along and that they are like best friends but I am calling bull shit on that. (Sorry teachers) Maybe they just use up all their tolerance for one another at school and their personalities clash at home when they have been around each other too much but from where I stand I only ever get a glimpse of this ‘best bud’ behaviour you speak of. It actually reminds me of me and my brother and how we used to get along like a house on fire and then suddenly we were constantly fight – SORRY MUM!! You can call karma off now, surely I’ve paid my dues. I understand completely how exhausted you felt, not only physically but mentally. I am completely and utterly mentally drained. Still counting down the days.ABM_1405134229

Tell me it’s not just me – tell me your kids fight too. Tell me you count down the days until school resumes as well.

Just in time for the school holidays an exciting new kids movie hits the shelves on DVD. We all know that during the holidays parents need that little bit of quiet time and this is sure to help you get it! Adventures in Zambezia is set on the edge of the magnificent Victoria Falls; a busy bird city and tells a tale of growth, adventure and acceptance.

Kai is a young falcon on the cusp of adulthood who is naïve but high-spirited; he is forbidden from venturing beyond the boundary but knows there must be something more to life. So he takes flight to the bird city of Zambezia after becoming bored with life when living with his strict father in the remote outback; only to discover the truth about his origins. Kai ends up defending the city of Zambezia and as a result learns how to be part of a community. This movie is bound to be a huge hit with the family! To make the holidays even better for the kids we have put together some special activities for them. You can find them here for FREE. You can also find FREE birthday party invitations here.

With only a couple of weeks left before the kids return to school many parents are finding their kids are becoming slightly bored and quite possibly cannot wait for the school year to commence. With this in mind I welcome any activity that keeps the kids amused for more than 5 minutes. DVDs, Playstation, swimming, water pistols, riding bikes, etc. Let’s face it who doesn’t love a good DVD in the air conditioning on a hot day?
 To celebrate the launch of Hotel Transylvania on Blu-ray and DVD on January 17, Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has created a monster-sized Activity Pack to help keep little monsters occupied during school holidays.
 
You can find the week of fun activities here!
 
What are you doing to keep the kids amused these holidays?
