We’re starting to think about summer break and summer plans around here, so we sat down and came up with over 50 awesome things to do this spring and summer with kids. Spring fever has definitely hit us here. We can’t wait to start making plans and will hopefully share some of our summer adventures…
I’m excited about planning spring break this year! We’re staying home as we usually do for spring break, and I’ve learned that it’s best to have some kind of plan, or the week will fly by and feel wasted. Though we’re not going anywhere, I know we’ll have a fun time doing some different things…
“How to survive a pandemic with young boys.” Boy that sounds dramatic. But the truth is that’s what we may feel like we’re doing…just “surviving”. What about living? Really living? Is that even possible right now? I say it is. In fact, in some ways I feel like we as a family are living more…
Campgrounds Let’s start with the obvious choice of where to stay in Texas, and that is campgrounds. We found no shortage of campgrounds to choose from along the way. The boys love a good KOA the most, and Reed may even thing that KOA is just another word for campground. They usually have nice amenities,…
These last few months have been tough, and this summer isn’t going to look “normal” for any of us, so some easy summer activities at home are going to have to take the place of some of those typical summer activities. There aren’t many places opened in our area yet, so we’re going to get…

He just couldn’t stand the thought of sitting still and not DOING something, but we preferred not to go out in the cold that chilly winter day. So, some indoor activities that we could do at home were in order….
We’re on our big trip of the summer to South Dakota this week. I remember going when I was a kid, and it was one of my favorite trips! It’s a long drive, though, so we needed some ideas and RVing travel tips to get us through the day. RVing Travel Tips Our first day…
The key to a fun Spring Break with boys in our house is a balance of fun and relaxation time. We don’t want to be so busy that we’re overwhelmed, but too much boredom breeds fighting in my experience so far. We usually stay at home (in town that is), but we plan little activities…
Recently, we went to “A Day Out With Thomas” at the Colorado Railroad Museum. I actually chose Thomas as Little Brother’s birthday party theme with this event in mind since I already had the tickets. Little Brother loves Thomas even more since his birthday, so it was great planning! There were several activities to do…
I like to try to celebrate and do activities as we approach Thanksgiving. It’s the perfect opportunity to teach our kids about gratitude. This year we wrote down several ideas for “gratitude activities” and put them in our Thanksgiving Activities Jar. We’d like to do one activity each day, but we’re doing them as we have…
