Product Review – Stylish Artistic Calendars You Must Have

November 16, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year when we start frantically looking for last minute and unique Christmas gifts. When I was asked to review these calendars I couldn’t help myself and just had to say YES YES YES please!.   Even though I am a crafter, I am certainly no Artist so having these amazing art works around my house and desktop is not only inspirational it’s soothing too.

I was planning on telling you which of the three are my favorite but I am not sure I can narrow it down that easily. I love all three of the Calendars for different reasons. I love the larger quote style calendar Homegrown Goodness $14.99 . We all need a little inspo now and then. I also love the design elements of the Pieces & Patterns $12.99.  Which is your favorite? You don’t need to narrow it down to just three though check out the full product range of Calendars here at 1canoe2.com and don’t forget to add a beautiful card to go with it.

Don’t want to buy online? Then check out the list of stores that stock these products. Store Locator.

Getting Ready for a Road Trip? These Ideas May Help

We don’t really have any travel to speak of planned this summer, and my daughter is old enough that any lengthy time in the car is usually spent with an audiobook or watching videos. But I remember the struggle of keeping little kids entertained on long trips, especially if you don’t want them on a screen the whole time.

I recently saw this post from Creating Really Awesome Fun Things, which is a roundup of 26 road trip games, ideas and activities that kids can do. From stringing beads onto pipe cleaners to felt busy boards, travel journals and using a pizza box to contain colors, trains (or cars) and more, there are lots of fun and easy ideas here.

I’m a big fan of printable road trip activities, and even have a whole post all about printables for road trips. I used to always do some kind of license plate game, a map, mazes and I-spy style scavenger hunts, which are fun for everyone in the car to play along with. (You can also find some patriotic road trip mazes here.) If your road trip includes a camping trip, check out these camping themed printable games and activities.

Productive Pete has a super cute map of the United States (pictured above) that kids can use in lots of different ways while on the road. They can color the states you travel through, or all the states they’ve ever visited, or use it to give the license plate game an extra challenge as they try to find each state on the map. You can quiz older kids on the state capitols, which you might need to brush up on yourself (guilty!).

Do you have particular games or activities that you always have on hand when you are doing a road trip with kids? I would love to hear about them!
