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 […]
Meet the Kindness Elves
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 […]
The Sci-Fi Reading List for Teens and Tweens
Confession: A lot of times I like YA novels more than actual adult novels. This is good, because I have several YA readers in this house, so it helps that I like reading what they’re reading. I can’t necessarily keep up with everything everyone reads around here anymore, but mostly I have an idea. Also, […]
Your Must-Have Fairy Garden Supplies
If you’ve been reading here for any amount of time, you know we love our fairy gardens! And since the weather is nice out, the kids have been spending more time outdoors, cleaning out the fairies’ habitats and getting them ready for summer. We introduce new things each year, but we do have a core list […]
7 Less Annoying Alternatives to Fidget Spinners
I’m not against fidget spinners. My kids have them. I think they’ve been hugely helpful, especially for one of my children who has trouble focusing and sitting still at school. We love them. (This article does a pretty good job of explaining why we like them.) But there are times when they’re not allowed. Or […]
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 […]
