I’m a mom of tween/teen girls, so our mommy-daughter shopping days were transitioning before Covid-19 put trips to the mall on our “Nah, we’ll pass” list.

One of the ways I get mommy daughter quality time is with coloring breaks. I set up coloring supplies on the floor and invite my girls to come create. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax, bond and chat about randomness while we work at our own pace. It also forces me to give my mind […]

My first experience at an arcade prize counter with the girls was traumatic. They had played all these games, collected tickets with pride and now they were unbelievably excited to turn in their hard-earned tickets for bouncy balls, candy and plastic jewelry. I estimated that I had spent about $50, and they were jumping all […]
