The kids are having a hard time adjusting to summer. Actually, that’s not true. They’re loving summer. They’re swimming and hiking and reading and doing kids activities (and playing video games.

Weekend Odds & Ends: Kids Activities
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 […]

Best Kids Activities of 2013
Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve been spending the day making lists — lists of “firsts” for 2013 (we had a first-time bike rider, a first-time reader, and a first-time sweater- knitter around here) — lists of Favorite Moments of 2013 (so many of them involved video games, you’d think we never did anything else. I swear […]

35+ Easy Snack Ideas for Kids
I never have good snack ideas for kids. If I can get three reasonably healthy meals for six people on the table every day, I feel pretty good about myself. So when hungry kids show up around 3pm, demanding food and proclaiming they’re starrrrving and might possibly die, I’m always caught off guard. But they’re all […]
5 Great Tie Dye Projects to Try With Kids
Tie dyeing is one of those activities that just reminds me of summer. Growing up, we tie dyed T-shirts for summer camp, and for Girl Scouts, and maybe once or twice for Vacation Bible School. When you think about it, it’s an inexpensive, easy way to make shirts an entire group can wear so you […]
Our Must-Have Summer Toolkit for Crafts and Activities
Lemme be clear — I don’t think it’s my job to entertain my kids all summer long. I plan to have some days where we all pile in the car while I pretend I can’t hear the whining, and we all go hiking. I plan to have some days at the pool. I plan to […]
