Kids Activities: Adventures After Dark
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 won’t lie to you.) They have a hard time, however, understanding why their mother would possibly attempt to put them to bed when […]
5 Ways to Start Now to Prep for Summer Break
This post was sponsored by Blueprint4SummerCO. All opinions are my own. We just returned from Spring Break, and I’m already looking forward to summer.

How to Get Kids to Do Chores (and what they should do!)
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 […]

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 […]
Girl Scouts Daisy Think Like a Programmer Badge Ideas
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 […]
