If u want to spend less time on social media this weekend u can try my method
1.take your kids sledding
2. Hit a bump
3. Fly off sled like u were ejected from a cartoon car
4. Land on ur side, hitting ur elbow and head
5. Light doesn’t feel good so u can only look at ur phone for a few min

Parenting in 2026…

Giving your kid a bath while you tune into the Faith in Action stream

Normally I watch silly YouTube videos or board game content to fall asleep, tonight it’s the last three episodes of Andor

We decided watching Star Wars and playing a few games was how to walk today with our kids.
We alternated it with music of lament.
Our kids know what happened today, our oldest asked if we can pivot her schooling this week to learn our constitutional rights (she loves ancient history, not modern)

I’m building a playlist to get through 2026, this is what is on it so far, mainly @switchfootofficial.bsky.social … what would you add?

Our #boardgames of this week!

Bosa is a great game and it’s sad it wasn’t more distributed.

#BoardGameSky, what’s your favorite board game challenge that can be completed in a month?

February is historically not our month, so my kiddo and I do a challenge for the month and she asked today what we are doing… help!

(We have done alphabet and game a day before)

I believe this is our last winter themed #BoadGame. Skull Canyon Ski Fest feels like an elevated Ticket to Ride and I believe you could teach it to most ppl who have played ToT. Super solid game and great rule book.

Hey #BoardGameSky, this store sells hobby games in St Paul, MN. They offer shipping on gift baskets! Need a #BoardGame gift basket?

Hey #CovidSafe community, they still offer Covid safe shopping times and still post masked photos online. Looks like a place to support!
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Next up in our winter #BoardGames! This one normally hangs out in the board game hut but was a fun quick play.

Star Wars deck builder arrived on Saturday after finding it online on sale, my oldest has asked everyday since for us to learn it and play it. Her sister had a virtual play date this afternoon so it was time… one more turn and the empire would have had those pesky rebels

Our next game in playing through our winter themed games!

This one was cute, I’m interested to see how it plays at larger player counts, but it’s another in the @allplay.bsky.social minute to learn collection that will likely get a lot of play here like Sequoia, Switchbacks and Dandelions do

We are working on playing our winter themed games. Today we enjoyed these cute penguins!

And 2 more rounds of Hot Streak because my youngest would play it daily

I learned a year ago that I love spring rolls. Tried making them tonight for the first time. It was an adventure but maybe this is the year I figure out how to do this well

Today is our annual purge board games out to the lending library (we run one out of our front yard) and move around the ones we are keeping inside, plus find homes for the ones we got for Christmas.
This is the collection that ended up upstairs to try to get to the table first.

The Chicago public library has virtual cooking classes for kids monthly. Today they made hummus and breadsticks, 5 stars!

End of the first week back to homeschooling. Pulled out one of our favorites, Creature Comforts with the components upgrades I got for Christmas.
Tried out Abducktion… I think it’s one for my husband and kiddo to play without me.

This @magic.wizards.com ad is something else.

It’s the second time in 24hr I’ve watched the whole musical number and called others over to see it too
