Hi and welcome to Tadpoles And Mud Puddles. To the exhausted mom of an active kid, don’t be overwhelmed. My little guy is on a mission to move and grove all day, every day. There’s no stopping this boy. He’s running full blast, jumping off of things, and covering everything in mud and dirt. It’s fun and crazy. And it’s every single day. I’m tired but he’s happy. How are you?
It’s exhausting to be a parent. Never did I think that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with a child. Guess what? I was wrong.
My kid doesn’t stop. Like ever. So Tadpoles and Mud Puddles is here to offer the exhausted parent ideas. Ideas to help keep the active kid(s) busy. Not the parent. Yes, you should play with your kids and teach them and raise them but sometimes it’s just nice to be able to say “go play!”. So relax. I’ve done the work so you don’t have to. Check out our activities page for ideas right now.
You can also get these ideas delivered straight to your inbox. There are activities, games, places to visit, homeschooling help with your active kid, and food that’s picky-eater approved.
While you’re here how can I help?
Are you looking for activities to wear out your active kid, are you homeschooling or are you looking for homemade recipes or health and welling ideas? Check things out here.
Activities for your active kids: outside, inside, and everywhere in between. It’s time to burn off all that energy. And not wear mommy or daddy out first.
Get 50+ ideas right now:
How to homeschool: preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, schedules, and printables. Coming from a homeschooler who’s homeschooling. You can do it too. It’s not as complicated as you think.
Enjoying healthy living: with recipes, exercises, and better choices. I know stress makes things hard and time is always limited with kids. You can still make healthy choices or at least better choices if you want to. Here’s how.
Family: As you may have guessed we’re a mixed-race family. My husband and I meet abroad in 2012. A few years later we got married and had an active little boy. Learn about how we navigate being from different cultures and backgrounds. And despite having very different lives we’re still making it work.
Travel: When it’s summertime we love a good road trip. Visiting lots of places up and down the east coast. We love the beach and kid-friendly locations. So looking around for your next adventure.
Alright, I know you’re thinking there’s no way to get the energy out of your active kid. You’re tired. Remember to take care of yourself too. You need sleep, exercise, and healthy food. To work and get out once in a while. You’re doing the job of three or more people. Cut yourself a break and grab a cup of coffee so you can read a post or two.
