Science projects aren’t usually done outdoors, but if you stop and think, outside is the perfect place to do your next experiment.

Chores – What a Chore!
Doesn’t it sometimes feel like giving chores is more of a chore for you than for your kid? My boys never got over the need to be nagged to do their chores.
