Planning a 10-hour drive with my 4yo, 8yo, and 12yo next month. Last time we did this kind of distance was a disaster. Screens help but I don't want them glued to iPads the whole w
Doing a 14-hour drive from Kansas City next month. Never attempted anything this long with all three. Our usual strategy is leaving early and just powering through, but I'm wonderi
My 12yo got really into those obstacle course competitions and decided to build one in the backyard. He designed it, we gathered materials (pool noodles, rope, PVC pipe, old tires)
Everyone around me is dropping like $300+ on baseball gloves and cleats and gear and I'm just... not doing it? My kids are 7 and 9. We got them basic stuff from Dick's and they pla
Nope? Just me dealing with this every single time? My 5yo acts like I'm taking away a limb when I tell her it's time to go after literally ANY amount of time at the playground. I'v
We're doing a drive up to see family and I need a playlist that won't drive me insane but will actually keep the kids engaged. Right now it's a mix of Disney stuff and some indie b
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about these LEGO Architecture sets but we got the Colosseum one for my 10yo and we built it together over like 3 weekends. It's way more interesting
My 9 and 12 year old got some birthday money and want Technic sets. I made the mistake of buying the Crane set last year and it was... tedious. Like, 3 hours of repetitive building

So I decided to make a raised garden bed this weekend with my son. Watched a YouTube video, seemed simple enough. Grabbed some 2x6 boards from Home Depot, got a drill, thought we'd
Built one with PVC pipes, old tires, and pool noodles last month. Cost me maybe $35 in materials I didn't have. The kids have been running it constantly. Pro tip: make it adjustabl
Planning a drive from SF to San Diego at the end of summer with my son. It's gonna be like 10 hours total (we're breaking it into two days). He's not a great car sitter - gets bore
Started this project thinking it'd be a disaster but my son is obsessed with woodworking lately so I figured why not. Spent 3 weekends with him helping me measure, saw, and nail pl
He FINALLY took off the training wheels last month and I wasn't sure it was gonna happen honestly. We spent like 8 weekends in the parking lot behind our elementary school just goi
My 10yo won't stop asking for the LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It's like $350 which feels insane for LEGOs. He's pretty into building stuff and coding (started Scratch last year) so it see
Signed up my 8yo for a pottery class thinking it'd be this cool creative outlet thing. First class he glazed his mug purple and blue (clashing, not intentional) and then when it ca
Need something flat, no traffic, about 5-7 miles round trip. My daughter just got confident enough to ride without training wheels (she's 6) and I don't want to stress her out with
So my son just turned 6 and we signed him up for spring soccer thinking he'd love it. First two practices were fine, but now he's refusing to go or saying his legs hurt after 15 mi
This is just ridiculous. My daughter's soccer season has games on Saturdays AND Sundays some weekends. My son's baseball is mostly weekday evenings but then they add random Saturda
