Growing up, I was the perfect age to be captured by the initial Pokemon craze. I played Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy, I watched the Pokemon Movie, and even collected a few Pokemon cards, my favorite being a Snorlax. While I was aware that Pokemon was a card game, I never learned how to play.

Fast-forward twenty years, and Pokemon is still as popular as ever, and thanks to their friends, the kids were gifted some Pokemon cards! All it took was one shiny card and they were hooked. (Cue checking out allll the Pokemon encyclopedias from the library!) They’ve become so obsessed that I finally thought it was time we learned how to play the card game.

One of our very favorite family games to play with our kids is My Little Scythe.

For nearly two years, My Little Scythe has delighted and challenged our older kids and is still their most requested game to play. So you can imagine our excitement to incorporate the new expansion, Pie in the Sky! 

But is it worth adding to your game? Let’s find out!

Gather your favorite recipes, bakers! It’s time to compete to create the perfect pie, piece by piece!

For days when you’re stuck inside, every parent needs a good set of screen-free activities that kids can do on their own.

As a mom of 5, these activities help function as a tool to give me a break so that I can quick throw in another load of laundry, keep some kids busy while I present a homeschool lesson to another child, or just give me a break from the millions of questions kids ask all day long. (Honestly, they are non-stop!)

While you know we love games around here, I want to share with you a few of my favorite solo logic and puzzle activities that help this stay-at-home mom make it through the day in case you find yourself in need of a few “mom-not-required” activities.
