Geek Craft

This post was originally posted on Homeschool Mosaics, which has since been taken down.

My fellow family members and I are huge geeks. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of Christmas decorations that encompass our family’s passion for science fiction, fantasy, and video games. I decided to try to make something personal for the family: a Christmas Geek Wreath!

Traveling with Rugrats

You have seen the commercials: a family laughing at the beach, parents and children happily walking though an amusement park, a family huddled together at a camp fire roasting s’mores. It looks like vacations are easy and relaxed times, right? My vacations tend to be filled with tantrums, diaper explosions, sweat, some blood and bandages, and lots of tears (not just from the babies!). How do you have a successful vacation when you have small children? It is all about strategy, and I will share mine with you, along with the experience having three children has brought me.

Summer Adventure

Summer days are long and hot, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. This year, create a Summer Adventure list! This is a list of things you and your family want to do before school starts up again in the fall. It could be anything from going on a mountain expedition to sleeping in until noon one day. This is a fun way to make some memories as a family and delete the old routine by having big (or small) adventures every day.
