The other day I talked about our family having a weekly family game night, usually on Fridays, today I want to tell you about National Family Game Night coming up on September 23rd. Hasbro is challenging families to turn off their TV’s and play a game together as a family on the 23rd.
I know schedules are hectic, both children and parents are busy, but why not devote one night to getting “unplugged” and enjoying each others company over a game? If you can’t do it on the 23rd set aside a day and hold everyone in the family to making …read more

I loved playing Yahtzee as a kid and young adult, but it has been years since I have even really thought of the game.
Well, my family recently had a game night with a good friends of ours and we broke out a new game called Power Yahtzee. We had so much fun with this game that my kids keep begging me if we can play it again.
When we first started, I was wondering if my kids were even going to be able to play it. My older ones are 8 and 9 (10 in a few days!!). We did have …read more
