We're in the heart of winter, and while we still prioritize getting outside, I love a good family game afternoon on a stormy day (and year-round really). And family game time is a big hit around here. And I am here for it. Learning. Problem-solving. Belly laughs. Quality time together. I swear I can see [...]
We've been traveling A LOT this summer, and that, on top of constant local adventures too, has created a need for something to give Evie space to rest her body, entertain during long trips, and find space to let her mind grow while getting some downtime.

Oh moving. The joy. The excitement. The anxiety. The stress. Oh, and the bruises (at least I used all of my fitness)... But it's all worth it. We have officially moved up to the Pacific Northwest, we're putting down roots in our little Radical Roots Homestead, and we couldn't be happier. I've been getting a lot [...]
"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." ~George Bernard Shaw Play. It's a lifesaver. It's something I talk a lot about, but what is it really?
