What is Blogging?

Claire Rice

So, I’m doing it. I’ve started a blog.

Well, again. I have had blogs before: One that my friends and I used as a way to keep in touch in our mid 20s; one that was mostly Ron and Hermione fanfic, which was, and shall remain, unpublished; and one that was about my teaching experiences, and you better believe I’ll be recycling some posts.

But for now, I’m just starting with all my New and Exciting developments!

For example, did you know I started a Podcast?! Finally! I am an avid comedy podcast listener, and have been for years, so it’s about time I started my own.

And it’s OBVIOUSLY a kids podcast - in each episode, I interview a different kid, we make up stories and songs, we play games, and I do some other creative feature. Find it here!

I also wrote an e-book! It’s called The Benefits of Playing Pretend (With Kids), it’s free, and it’s available here!

Lately, I’ve been very active on Instagram, giving creative prompts, sharing my experiences, and giving creative advice. I’ve also been known to have a dance party with my adorable toddler in the stories, so I highly recommend.

Triangle term! Fun tidbit - this was the first term I attended as a nanny! I have so many wonderful memories singing these songs and watching the kids learn throughout the term. Having never heard of the program, I first thought “what IS thi
Hey goofballs, did you know I have a podcast? It's called Dramagination Station. It's me being funny and interviewing children! We play games, sing songs, and make up stories. It comes out every Wednesday. That "every" "Wednesday&q
Hey York Region friends! The gradual reopening is looking good. My guess (based on patterns and numbers and hope) is that we’ll be able to have limited classes by the time my Spring term starts! And I’m ridiculously thrilled to be off
This is my favourite thing coach @tinamariemeyer ever said to me. It makes so much sense.⁠ ⁠ When I’m finding things difficult it feels like it must be wrong. I’m doing it wrong, I’m not good at it, it’s not working. ⁠ ⁠ But n
It took me sooooo long to learn this. And even after I learned it I still had to *learn* it. And then I think I forgot it? And had to learn it again. ⁠ ⁠ So I’m gonna be on a relationship-with-self, self-awareness kind of kick for the next litt
Anyone else? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️⁠ ⁠ It’s not like they’re doing it on PURPOSE! ⁠ ⁠ What is it about family that brings out the...ahem...lack of composure, let’s say, in us all?⁠ ⁠ We can put into practice all the great
New news! So @tinamariemeyer and I decided to do a one-off workshop before we get to the BIG workshop (Parenting and Grandparenting Together, link in bio 😉) and I think it’s amazing. This Relationship Building workshop is meant to enhance t
I have a very exciting announcement! I’ve teamed up with Growth and Relationship Coach @tinamariemeyer to create a course for parents and grandparents! I follow a lot of parenting accounts, and one of the main questions I see coming up again a
So we all know life with kids is A LOT EASIER if they're having fun. And if the grown ups are having fun too, like that's a bonus, right?⁠ ⁠ Aaaaaand it's a pandemic and we're often stuck and home and you know the world is on fire. So most things are
New ep alert! This week features my niece Mia! We do some funny voices, tell some stories, sing some songs, play some games - the usual, while still somehow being unique. ⁠ ⁠ Also the mind trip is a little more adventurous than it has been thus far -

Those are my newest major projects and, of course, I can’t wait to start teaching again! There are tons of new classes available here.

There’s also something top secret and super creative in the works. I just have to figure out a whole slew of tech issues to make it happen, so…any day now! Stay tuned.
