Homeschool Fun Friday: Blink Game Review

Use games in your homeschool to create a fun learning experience. Here is a review of the game BLINK, complete with a video.

  We love to incorporate games into our homeschooling.  It's a great way to add interest to learning and break up the routine of worksheets and workbooks.  The second half of our Fridays we often call "Fun Friday" and spend the afternoon playing games.  This doesn't ALWAYS happen, because ...

I have always had a desire to live simple while striving to be more intentional and working to do things slightly better than I did the day, week, month, or year before.

I appreciate putting more emphasis on people and experiences, than material things.  I attribute this to my {mostly} unplugged childhood.

I was born in Minnesota and after moving to Iowa I was able to go back for well over a decade to visit with my grandparents in the same home that my parents brought me home to as an infant.  As a child I loved hearing my Grandpa Link tell stories and adored spending time in the kitchen learning from my Grandma Edna. I believe those admirable character traits of my grandparents are woven into the fibers of who I am today.

My husband and I met 4 days after my 18th birthday, we were just friends for only a week before deciding dating and ‘forever’ were in our plans.

Together we built our dream home on the edge of town where we are creating our modern city-life homestead while we raise and homeschooling our four children.

I love sharing pieces of our life with hopes of inspiring you to live slightly better too!
