My kids always have a hard time adjusting to summer. Actually, that’s not true. They love summer. They love swimming and hiking and reading and doing kids activities (and playing video games.

I’m getting ready to run this on Monday. People have called it the best 10k in the country, and I agree it’s pretty fun. But I’m totally not ready for it. I say this every time and somehow I always manage to finish but this time I mean it. The guy who always runs in a gorilla […]

Cars 3 Activities to Hold You Until the Movie
My kids can’t wait til June. June is my birthday month, but of course no one’s thinking of that (siiiiigh…poooor me…). Because it’s also the release date for Cars 3. And to be fair, my birthday comes every year, but a Cars movie? They’ve been waiting for that for a long time. In the meantime, I […]
