Why Fun Days Totally Rock

Over eight years ago, my mom gave me a flip calendar filled with quirky “fun days”. At first, it was something my boys and I looked at together and had a few giggles.

Those small playful moments sparked conversations and laughter. I started making printable calendars of these fun days for my boys and me so we wouldn’t forget them. And you know what? We still use them in our homeschool morning time today. My youngest reads out the fun day, we chat about it, maybe look something up, and share a laugh.

Things like Name Your Car Day were big hits. At the time, we had a silver Honda Odyssey named Vanna because, well, Van + Vanna. The boys thought it was hilarious! Side note: We now have a Toyota Highlander named Cocoa because she’s brown and sweet.

It’s never big or complicated. It’s just one of those small ways we’ve stayed connected and made memories without the stress. And that’s what Fun Days Made Simple is all about.

After I made my first fun day calendar, I realized something important: It’s not about the calendar date. It’s about making it easy to enjoy stress-free fun together.

How to Enjoy Fun Days Made Simple

The easiest way to bring Fun Days Made Simple to life is with my Fun Packs – print-and-go activity packs designed to make learning fun and connection easy. I’ve created these Fun Packs based on my successful experiences with my boys. Each Fun Pack includes:

• Warm-Up Activity: something simple to spark interest
• Activity Mat: learning fun with puzzles, mazes, and creativity
• 3D Paper Craft: print, cut, fold, and create (no mess, no stress!)
• Snack + Share: book and snack ideas to enjoy together
• Conversation Starters: meaningful prompts to connect and reflect

Every pack helps you turn ordinary days into meaningful moments without hours of prep or overwhelm.
