I have a lot of hobbies; you can choose some of them. I’m thinking the taking pictures and video and editing content with our hobbies may make a nice PowerPoint project with activities listed below
My Hobbies are educating my Children and Making Family content on TikTok. Family Bonding. I also Educated myself to be aware of Autism Spectrum because my 5-year-old son has a slight case and has been progressing. My hobbies are also cooking and engaging in other activities for my 7-year-old daughter like gymnastics. Hopefully she will be able to compete when she gets more advanced. I have my older son I sports in school, and I sometimes take the kids to watch him. I enjoy swimming with my family and going on family outing such as a movie, trampoline parks, bowling. We go to the trampoline park a lot. I like taking lots of pictures and videos and editing for enjoyment. Also, I enjoy a peaceful relaxing day without all the hype and going out to a restaurant to have a nice meal, relax and enjoy myself.
My youngest is 5-year-old boy (slightly Autistic with just a few traits, very smart, enjoys swimming)
My middle child is 7-year-old girl (Loves school and gymnastics swimming)
My eldest is 13-year-old boy (loves sports, football, Basketball)
Me the mom I enjoy doing all the activities with them listed above, cooking, going out, relaxing, educating myself and taking pictures and videos for social media.
