My kids just started back at public school after homeschooling last year, so I was a little nervous for them, but so far so good!

Lately, I can’t seem to decide whether to be shocked that it’s already December or thrilled that 2020 is almost over.

Either way, Christmas is coming, and that means my kids are acting out “Santa Claus comes down the chimney” in their bedroom each night (which means they take turns putting on a Santa hat and squirming down through the space between their bunk bed and the wall to bring “gifts” to each other…I have no idea where they come up with these ideas).

Our family motto for this school year

Each school year, our family chooses a motto to focus on. Here’s our (much needed) goal for 2020!

Why every child needs an inventor box + how to create one

Forget buying kids expensive toys…instead, create a no-cost inventor box (AKA – tinker box) that will inspire endless hours of creative play and STEM exploration.

My six-year-old wants to be an inventor when he grows up. And, honestly, I won’t be a bit surprised if that’s exactly what he becomes. He is constantly creating, imagining, and experimenting with something.
