I love when my kids come home from school and excitedly tell me about something fun they did that doesn’t include snack, lunch or recess. I love even more when it’s a mix of something educational and entertaining that we can all partake in together. The...

Kids lack perspective. We see it in our own kids when they moan, this is the worst day ever! and we remember it from our own childhood when a fifteen minute wait felt like hours. But here’s one cool way to give kids a little perspective, plus a science lesson to...

Without exaggerating, there’s probably hundreds of things I wish were around when my kids were younger, and Bill Nye’s old show is definitely on that list. We’ve made do with science programs geared toward adults (yay Morgan Freeman!), but I’m...
