I think marshmallows are one of the best inventions. Ever. This is one area where my kids absolutely agree. So it’s no surprise that they were totally up for marshmallow math. It meant they got to eat marshmallows while making me happy. Win-win. We found some cute snowman shaped marshmallows at Walmart, but these…
November is all about being thankful, right? It’s the month we’ve dedicated to remembering everything we appreciate, all the people in our lives we love, and things we think we cannot live without (ahem, pumpkin spice lattes…) I think the first step to raising kids who are not full of the entitlement attitude that has…

Nearly all of my kids have loved trucks and the like at one point or another (although with Baloo it was always trains and just trains). We have never lived near farmland so tractors are these amazing, kind of mysterious trucks. And they’re similar to construction trucks which are just adored here. I had to…
I have a confession – I’m not a huge Star Wars fan. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the movies, I just wouldn’t call myself a huge fan. In some ways, I want to be a huge fan. The Star Wars community just seems like so much fun! I just cannot get myself that into…
Since my kids were young, I’ve done my best to instill a good habit of teeth brushing. I figure if they had the habit down as kids, it would be easy to maintain good teeth habits as adults. We will find out if this is true one day. But for now, I just have to…

There is just something fascinating about animals! Arctic Animals Printable Packs for Preschool and Kindergarten I love engaging…
I can’t play chess. I never really learned how. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the movements and how the game works – how to win and all that shindig. But I’ve never actually learned how to play. So when Baloo (6) wanted to learn to play I said “Sweet, good luck with that”. Except,…
