We love to play games as a family, even with younger children we have found so many games they they too enjoy! Here is a list of the ones that we love to play!
One of my favorite hobbies these days is watching my daughter dance. It's made even better by the amazing team of families she competes with. Still, I've learned a thing or two after her first year on the competition team. I now carry my very own survival kit. Here's what's in my bag!
Through trial and error, these are the games we tend to keep coming back to when we have a large group of friends or family or gathering. These are the easiest to explain nd get up and running ASAP as not to lose the attention/interest of guests trying to over explain complicated rules. This allows the group to monitor how the rules are followed, instead of having to assign a referee who understands all the potential nuances. That way, everyone gets equal play time and way less stress. Not to mention, these could also be turned into a version of play where liquid courage is involved as either a bonus or a consequence for those aged 21+. When we attempt to learn a more difficult game (like Wingspan), we tend to always end up playing one of these to close out the night. Hope you enjoy the giggles these produce as much as we do!
Here are a few shows that I think people will like. Everyone has different tastes, but I hope something in here appeals to someone. I have watched/ seen clips of a majority of the shows listed.

Tight lines🎣 *affordable is different to all*

I’m very much into crafting and creating new things but sometimes I just want something to get my mind off things and do something that’s relaxing and doesn’t require much brain power in that moment lol and that’s where diamond art comes in for me. At first I wasn’t sure I would like it but my daughter wanted to do one and so I got one for her and I to do together and I was hooked. It’s very relaxing for me and I use it as a way to get my mind off things especially when I’m feeling kind of down. It’s been fun to gift them to loved ones as well. I’m really excited to share with you all of my favorite diamond art supplies. I’ve tested and tried all of these and have used different accessories in the past and these are all the accessories that have genuinely worked well and have made diamond art easier and more fun.
