We LOVE board games in the Berning household! And we were so excited to have a whole night dedicated to playing games as a family. Each of the kiddos picked a game and we PLAYED! I love how so often the simplest things can have such a big impact. Togetherness for the WIN! Lydia wasn’t …
I have wanted to do a family poetry party for a LONG time! I heard the idea several years ago in the homeschooling world and I thought it sounded so wonderful – and it WAS! We found a great book from The Good and the Beautiful called Poetry Parties for Littles: Insects and Spiders with …
I love autumn activities. Basically, I just love autumn (also, Jacob really wants us to call it autumn now because he thinks it sounds so much better than “fall” – haha!). I love the crisp weather. It is easily my favorite season. The week before Halloween, we went over to Salt Lake for some family …
This last weekend we did a family camp out in our backyard! It was a perfectly simple night together. We made grilled tin foil dinners and berry cobbler. Does it get any better?!

For our March family fun we went to the White Mountain Petroglyphs! This was the perfect finish to our study of Native Americans we have been doing in history. This place is so neat – pretty accessible – and close! It was a win-win-win! We went here last summer and the circumstances were pretty different …
This weekend we did our February Family Fun – SLEDDING! It was pretty cold – like 2* cold {and that’s actual temperature – not wind chill!}. But we were all so excited I genuinely don’t think any of us noticed! We had gotten a decent little snowstorm and didn’t want to be on the roads …
It felt like January flew by in a FLASH! Our family made a goal this year to bring back our monthly “family fun” activities. We got pretty inconsistent this last year {can we blame COVID? 😉} and we want to get back to it! January almost slipped by us, but we decided to do a …
