A couple of months ago I dusted off the old printer to print out some Morning Moments worksheets I had saved from Laura’s Lifejoy. The whole idea was simple. Slow, meaningful moments with Luna, away from screens.
I loved them. And almost right away I felt inspired to curate our own little activities based on the things my daughter really loves. I wanted to build some that went along with Laura’s and expanded on them, and that kept the seasonal themes, because honestly it gives me an excuse to really be present in each season with her. To make handmade decor. To notice what’s happening right outside the window.
So I decided to put AI to work on one simple little thing.
And as things usually go creatively for me, it completely snowballed.
At first I was just sharing it all with one of my best friends, who also wants to homeschool her daughter and has started with preschool curriculums. And then I started planning for future months. Holidays. More and more and more.
I’ve been staying up late fine tuning every detail, putting in the annoying hard work and the hours, using AI tools to tweak and perfect. And somewhere in all of that it stopped being just for us. It turned into something I realized other families would probably enjoy too.
So since before October, I’ve been building 50+ pages of activities that pair perfectly with Laura’s Lifejoy Morning Moments.
Let’s talk about the AI part
I wanted to say this part out loud, because I think a lot of us are understandably put off by things built with AI.
It’s carefully planned. Curated. Built for my own family first, with my own ideas, my own editing, and a whole lot of late nights. I just decided it turned out so good that I couldn’t not share it.
AI is at its best when it’s used as a creative tool for people like me. The girl whose brain never stops asking “what if.” The one always wishing she had the skills to bring her ideas to fruition.
I used to give my computer programming brother ideas all the time for tools he could create. He’s been gone for 20 years now. But I guess now, instead of feeding him all my ideas, I can bounce them off of AI.
What’s in the shop
Each one is a printable workbook of screen free activities for ages 2 to 5, built around the season we’re actually in. Instant download, print at home, and go at whatever pace your mornings allow.
A note about the Advent book. That one is the closest to my heart. I built it from the way my mom counted us down to Christmas, with Jesus kept right at the center.
We had a colored nativity board in the kitchen, and every day in December I got to place one more piece on it. I was maybe six years old and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. As we got older it turned into scripture and poems and listening to every version of O Come, O Come Emmanuel we could find.
She’s in heaven now. So this is one of the ways I get to hand that tradition to Luna, and help her know the grandma she never got to meet. 🤍

Anyway, I digress. All this to say, I’ll be sharing this now ongoing project here on the blog, on my socials, and in my monthly newsletter, for anyone who might need a little schedule of meaningful screen free moments. A way to make room for more present time with your littles.
I’ve had so much fun coming up with these little workbooks, and I’m excited and full of many more ideas for the coming months. So please follow along.
