Our Top Picks for Family Board Games

There are the classic board games that you have heard of, and maybe a few you haven't. We have built up quite a collection over the years and we are happy to share our top picks. One important note before we dive in - we don't let our kids win. It doesn't teach them anything and the world doesn't work like that. We help them and guide them as we learn a new game, but once they understand the game, we play with them as equals. Trust me it's way more fun that way and you will all get more out of the experience. Let's get started. In no particular order because we love them all, here they are: Settlers of Catan - it's a strategy game where the goal is to be the first to 10 points. You gather resources and make decisions about how to spend those resources. You can trade with other players but you should only do so if it benefits you.

Neighborhood Mini Adventures

Let’s get excited about going outside! Even though it’s chilly, we still take our dogs for walks and for some fun in the great outdoors. Kobe loves chasing snowballs and digging in the snow. He bounds like a jack rabbit through the drifts; he never wants to stop. Our smaller dog Stevie is less enthusiastic and we often end up carrying him on the way back. We bring two long leads clipped together so we can keep Kobe on-leash, but let him run around. We all get some fresh air and much needed exercise. We have been finding all kinds of new places to walk and get outside. Why not do some exploring in your neighborhood or one nearby? You might find something amazing or unexpected. Then head home, get cozy with a warm beverage and plan your next mini adventure!
