Tech Free Road Trip Hacks
A few months ago we decided to take a road trip across 8 States. Not only was it a great way to see the country we had moved to, but it was also a great way to unplug from our daily responsibilities and spend some time together as a family. (Something we had not done in a while) We decided to go “tech” free. I know right?! Who does that in the 21 century!! In the end we had a fantastic time! Here’s how we kept our 4 kids entertained!

Summer Boredom Buster 1 – Egg-cellent Herbs
Well… Summer is just around the corner, and – while some folks are getting their bodies in shape for the beach, or updating their wardrobes, or making plans for an extended break from the usual routines of life – for me this means 2 months of holiday time with the kids (mostly at home)… What to do? What to do? I think there was a flickering light bulb moment in my head. I’m not sure, it was fleeting. And the flickering was mostly pretty dim. But nevertheless, I’m going to roll with it. Every couple of days during the Summer break this Messy Mama will post an activity that I…
