This post was sponsored by Mean Green. All opinions are my own. I’m a huge fan of kids doing chores for a number of reasons. For one thing, in a house with six people, I can’t do everything myself. I may have actually wept when I taught my older kids to do their laundry, and […]
Tips for Visiting Great Wolf Lodge
The Great Wolf Lodge here in Colorado Springs just recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. I’ve been hearing from lots of friends who have visited with their children over the past year, and for the anniversary, my kids and I were invited down to celebrate the day. They had a wonderful time! I didn’t realize that […]
6 Ridiculous Rhyming Books for Kids
We love a good, goofy book around here. We’re especially partial to rhyming books, which — aside from being fun — help kids with things like cadence, memorization and early reading skills. Here are six of our favorites (for more reading fun, check out our Valentine Reading List): –Bear Hugs: Romantically Ridiculous Animal Rhymes by Karma Wilson: I love […]
10 Kid Books to Read for Valentine’s Day
I’ve discovered Valentine’s Day is really much more fun with kids. No outlandish romantic ideals to be crushed. No overpriced dinners for two. Just a fun day where (hopefully!) everyone feels loved, with a small treat at each person’s spot at the dinner table. And as much red or heart-shaped food as I can possibly […]

My Girl Scouts are working on their Think Like a Programmer badge this year. The Daisies are having a great time, and I like this badge for Girl Scouts because you can incorporate a bunch of different STEM activities and start getting them interested in engineering and how things work. Our local library just got a […]
How to Survive Road Trips With Kids
Thanks to Subaru for allowing us to try out the 2018 Forester this fall! We love, love, love our adopted state. One of the only drawbacks to hanging out in view of the Rocky Mountains is that both Chris and I actually grew up about 1100 miles west of here…and that’s where most of our family […]

A Simple, No-Prep Girl Scout Game
I just wanted to share a quick Girl Scout game. I actually love this one because it requires NO materials (no last minute trips to the store before meetings! And free! woo-hoo!) you can play it with any number of girls and any age range it’s great for early-on meetings where the girls don’t know each […]
Five Easy Art Projects for Kids
There are days when I feel like I’m firing on all cylinders. My kids are wearing clothes with no holes or stains, everyone’s hair is brushed, I’m in something that’s not pajamas, I may even be wearing makeup (ok, no. I’m not wearing makeup. Let’s not get carried away). I have a plan for the day, and […]

I’m really excited to share one of our latest toys with you. Actually, are they toys? Projects? I’m not sure how you’d categorize them. But…look how cute!! These are Kindness Elves. They’re special friends who love sprinkling kindness and joy. And my daughter is in love with them. Her favorite part is the tiny mailbox […]
