So we went to Shenandoah last weekend with my oldest (6) and youngest (3). Thought it'd be great bonding time. Six hours in, 6yo is screaming that the sleeping bag is "too squeezy"
Feel like I'm overthinking everything lately. Like I spent an hour researching different hiking trail apps when I could just... go for a walk with my kids. I'm buying specialized g

So my 7yo wants to "do science" this weekend and last time that meant baking soda and vinegar EVERYWHERE. I'm looking for stuff that's actually educational but I don't need to be f
Bought one of those 'build your own birdhouse' kits for my 7yo thinking it'd be a fun weekend project. Instructions were overly complicated, pieces didn't fit together properly, an
