Slime! Slime! Slime!
Make Your Own Slime! I've got to be honest....I've been putting off slime for as long as humanly possible as, well, it's slime and slimy and I just didn't really want it all over our house.

For about three months now, we’ve been leaving the stroller at home and the kids have really taken to our walks. Our walks are more like marathons now as little feet only move so fast, but this allows for us to find so many cool things….snails, caterpillars, cool... Read more...

Tips For Managing Screen Time!
Life is good when the sun is shining right? You can send the kids outside to play, go for a nice walk, head to the trails for a nice hike… if only life were this simple on rainy days, freezing cold days, or just times when we can’t spend much time outdoors (remember COVID-19?).  Sometimes you have to put on a TV show or let your child have their tablet for an hour (or maybe more…), and that’s ok.  Parenting is tough and we totally get it.  However, we all...
