Do the kids love car rides or are they always asking “are we there yet?” Two summers ago we drove up to Tahoe and my daughter wore a shirt that said “Road Trip” and on the back it said “Are We There Yet?” She was a pretty good traveler but I wish that I had this Vacation Journal that my friend Colleen created. I love all the fun activities the kids can do prior to the trip, during the car ride and even after you are back home. Here are some ideas to make your trip enjoyable for all! …

Best Fiends Fiend (Noun) [/Feend/]: “A Mythical, mischievous little creature inhabiting the world of Minutia.” You probably remember the scene in Gladiator when Russell Crowe’s character yells to the crowd “are you not entertained?” That line kept going through my mind while playing the very popular app Best Fiends by developer Seriously. Yes, seriously, that is their name and one my daughter got a kick out of since this is one of her favorite words these days! I have to say I was very entertained playing this game!

Bonding Over Old-School Classics

It is so important to spend time each day just talking…
