Kids had a Pro-D day today so it’s been nice to have a slow day! We went for a walk this afternoon and had to stop to capture this! 📸

Love our neighbour and the fall colours! ✨🍁 🍁 🍁 ✨

Yesterday J’s class had a field trip. I decided to keep him home instead and we did some cool science experiments together, went on a scavenger hunt, a couple of nice long walks, and read in the afternoon.

Now I’m missing homeschooling LOL 😂

It would be nice if there was some sort of 50/50 homeschooling and in person school option! I would be totally into that! 💖

I love Halloween and decorating the house with the boys! 👻 🎃

We keep it minimal and simple, but add a few things here and there and the boys love it!

Do you decorate a bit for Halloween too?

#ad We are so excited about the new Clifford the Big Red Dog movie coming to theatres and to @paramountplus November 10th! 🍿 @cliffordmovie

We love Clifford and have been fans for many years. The boys have so many Clifford books and they both fell in love with him and his heartwarming story since they were toddlers!

To celebrate the upcoming film, we attended a virtual event last weekend with two of the stars of the movie @jackwhitehall and @darbyecamp, and had a great time listening as they described how it was shooting the film and shared some behind the scenes movie magic with us.

I’ll be sharing a full blog post with more details and a full review of the film soon! Stay tuned! 🎥 🍿

For now, I invite you to watch the new trailer, available on YouTube (link in my bio).

Are you looking forward to watching Clifford the Big Red Dog?

#ad How do you approach chores at home? Both of our boys have a list of age-appropriate chores they are in charge of daily, which is part of our everyday routine. It started when they were toddlers, with simple things like asking them to pick up their toys and make their beds, and continued throughout the years. Now they help with dishes, vacuuming, cleaning their own bathrooms, and sorting their laundry.

We recently downloaded the @mydohapp powered by RBC and it has been a very useful money management tool that has been helping us manage chores and teach the boys financial independence and money literacy at the same time.

With the Mydoh app you can set up tasks and allowance, send money to your child instantly up to allowable limits, track their earnings and spending, lock and unlock their cards, and more. Children can manage their chores, mark them as complete, spend money using their Smart Cash Card (up to the allowable limit set by their parent), track their earnings, spending, and balance, and learn money basics while playing.

❗❗ Parents who sign-up for a new Mydoh account using code ANGELA10 from now until Dec. 31, 2021 will receive $10 in their Mydoh account.❗❗

I highly recommend you check out the app and download it! Link is on my bio.
