School starts when?

%name School starts when?
Soon we will all have to head to our favorite retail store and stock up on all those items are kids insist they need to make their school year amazing.

To all those parents who must head out to the store and purchase that list of fifty items your child’s future teacher insists they need, I feel your pain.

What are your strategies for surviving the all day shopping event or do you just one-click the buy button for your school fundraiser?

Make sure you bring water and feed your munchkins…you don’t know how long you will be out.  May your cart wheels all function, the stores be stocked and your sanity still in tact!

%name Board Games do you have a favorite?

If you are just reading my blog today and wondering where the books are…. I’m taking a week to tackle a bunch of things and thought I’d do something fun. It’s a week of fun posts about things that I love.

Today it’s all about board games. It’s hard to find a game that will engage everyone in the house. Somehow we’ve managed to agree on a few that are sure to engage everyone. My list is a bit eclectic but it satisfies everyone.

  1. Ticket to Ride – great for all ages!
  2. Telestrations – recently played with friends and is a blast!
    (Don’t have it yet but it’s on my list)
  3. Card games  – old school classics
  4. Apples to Apples
  5. Beat the Parents
  6. Scrabble
  7. Clue
  8. Sequence
  9. Backgammon
  10. Mancala

Tell me…what’s your favorite?

movie night Its movie night what are you watching?

While sorting through the DVD collection it’s time to bring a few movies to watch on those rainy nights or afternoons when we need to chill out. I love movies as much as I love to read, so this is difficult. Back in the day I even worked at a video store. There are some stories there people!

Here is a list of movies that we are bringing should we have a need for a movie night.

  1. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
  2. War Games
  3. Footloose
  4. Ten Things I Hate About You
  5. Spaceballs

What’s your list look like? Do you have a theme, genre or just randomly dial up Netflix or Amazon on-demand and watch?
