Welcome to Kids Activities Blog!
I hope you will stay awhile to play :).
Let me tell you a little bit about myself and the inspiration behind Kids Activities Blog. I am Holly Homer.
I am the mom of three boys…very active boys! In fact, it was apparent early-on that keeping them busy would be a strong strategy for motherhood sanity. The boys are now 10, 13 & 15 and are partially-homeschooled.
Partially-homeschooled?
Yes, they attend a classical education school 2 1/2 days a week and are homeschooled 2 days a week. Each of them started in this system in Kindergarten, so they don’t even understand 5 day a week school!
Our house is pretty chaotic. You may have seen our dog named Panda on Instagram (or appearing frequently in articles here on Kids Activities Blog). She is a French Bulldog that has taken over the house.
My husband is a “retired” physician. He now works full-time on our online & offline projects. His specialty is video – you will hear him producing several of our online shows including:
Speaking of Live Videos <—I adore them! I also do a live Q&A Parenting Hour on Quirky Momma.
Kids Activities Blog has grown into so much more than a blog! It has been really exciting to see it reach beyond these posts and pages.
My latest book (with Rachel Miller & Jamie Harrington) was released on April 19 of this year! Here is more information…
The 101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments by the Kids Activities Blog team, Holly Homer, Rachel Miller & Jamie Harrington is availableRIGHT NOW.
It is our second book with Page Street Publishing. Oh, and it has a glow-in-the-dark cover!
It is for kids 5-12 (younger if adults are leading the fun) and jammed with science silliness.
With this book, you can do things both indoors and outdoors. The handy mess meter, preparation times and notes on the level of supervision will keep the entire family happy and safe. Experimenting is really fun, and everyone will have a blast being a scientist! Shhh…it is so entertaining that you might not notice you are also learning important things about the world around you!
My first book is still available…and approaching a milestone of 100K copies sold {faint}. Here is more information about that…
101 Kids Activities that are the Bestest, Funnest Ever! by Holly Homer & Rachel Miller is available RIGHT NOW.
Our first book with Page Street Publishing!
It is for kids of all ages, plus parents, babysitters, grandparents and anyone that wants to have fun.
Each of the 101 activities have modifications for younger kids and modifications for older kids – so the entire family can play together! We love that.
This book was chosen by Kohl’s as a Kohl’s Care book 2016. It was sold at all Kohl’s registers across the country with 100% of the proceeds going to children’s charities. What an amazing thing!
I am aa bit social media-obsessed. I adore teaching what I have learned both at HollyHomer.com and my YouTube channel along with live videos on my FB page.
I have felt incredibly blessed to speak at conferences across the country on blogging and social media topics – Bloggy Bootcamp, Emerging Tech, Declare Conference 2013 & 2014, Blog Elevated 2013 & 2014, Project Mom 2013 & 2014, Women Get Social, Focused Social Media Marketing World 2015 & 2016 and No Excuses Summit.
I have been featured on multiple radio interviews, TV appearances and pod casts. My favorite pod cast was aboutKids Activities Blog’s FB page’s rapid organic growth with Michael Stelzner.
My early career years as a Physical Therapist & clinic manager has helped me tackle kid-related issues like Sensory Processing Disorder as well as organizational skills to handle what has turned out to be a not-so-small business run from my living room. I am a huge work-from-home advocate and can’t wait to launch a full training series to show others how to achieve this freedom.
WhenI am not writing, photographing, playing with the family or clearing the kitchen sink of dirty dishes, I might sneak away to play in a poker tournament.
