Being a mom of three herself, Mari-Louise Candiotes also share daily tips and ideas surrounding motherhood, daily family life and what she and her little ones got up to for the day.
Mari-Louise (aka Just a Mamma) a strong believer in naptime or quiet play and says it’s a “skill we often neglect teaching our kids. Read to your little one or let them read to you. Make storytime a daily highlight!”
“Fresh air is also a must and we spend mornings and afternoons outside. Many of the “Main Activities” mentioned in the activity list can be done outdoors too. Depending on where you live, whether you have a backyard, playhouse, swing set or trampoline, we should all make time to play outside. Take a stroll around the neighborhood, find a quiet park or take the dogs walking. Kick and throw a ball. Run, skip, jump. Exercise as a family. Remember the simple pleasures we find outside,” she adds.
