“Rock Detective” Activity for elementary kids

I know, just what you need, right? Yet another activity for your already-overwhelmed kids to do while you are all quarantined due to CoVid-19. This one is so easy, though, I promise. Zero prep! And it could have some extended educational returns, depending on how your kids respond to it.

30+ Great Gifts for the Adventurous Mom

Here’s our gift guide for adventurous women/moms!  While I haven’t tried most of these, I would be thrilled to find any of them under the tree! 🙂 STOCKING STUFFERS Hair Bands: If she’s a mom and she has long hair, I guarantee you she can always use more of these!

We’re a homeschooling family in Los Alamos, New Mexico, hoping to give our boys a love for the great outdoors and provide them with skills they’ll enjoy for life. When it comes to camping, we are experts at getting off the beaten path, away from crowded campgrounds.  And adventuring to us can be as simple as checking out a local park or as ambitious as hiking a Colorado 14’er.
