Everyday Family Adventures and Travel
We’re always on the hunt for fun, inexpensive things to do with the kids in the Detroit area. I can’t say it took a lot of arm-twisting to bring the kids on this outing! In fact, I was pleasantly surprised with how much my 6 […]
A couple of weeks ago my children and I set out with our co-op to do a mapping skills exercise. (This sounds super official, but translated that’s me and two friends and all our kids learning directions and beginning mapping!) We have a range of […]
Today we’re continuing our ramp-up to Easter with what people usually call “Resurrection Eggs” (personally I like the term Advent Eggs)– another one of my goals for this year! “Advent” usually refers to the Christmas season, specifically the four Sundays leading up to Christmas, but […]
