A child just arrived the other day............

Young people now devote an average of 7 hours, 38 minutes to daily media use, or about 53 hours a week.  The media is now your kid's best friend, parent, coach and if they can get away with it their teacher.


Lets face it folks the only way to have a great relationship with your kids, is well have human connection with them.  Get out there and shake it up a bit.  Playing catch is a great way to get the communication going.  Throw that ball hard too and pretty soon everyone is awake and in present time.  No one likes a baseball in the face.
If you have boys, wrestling in the living room is a must for all that physical contact and human connection. My husband recently started running with our teenage daughter, they both love it.  It's not up to me to think of the activities to do with your kids, that's your create......get on with it.  It will be something you never regret.

Welcome to Kids are from Uranus.

G'day everyone,

Hubbie and I have been going for these amazing walks in the morning to the top of  a lake.  On the way up to the lake we talk about all the great stories and adventures that we have had with our kids. Well this is our showcase of those stories.  Having five kids is an adventure in itself, add on to that they never have really gone to school, traveled quite extensively and they are all various ages going on 35.  So for the most part they are waiting for the world to catch up to them, quite a challenging feat!   

All aboard!

While our stories are hilarious to read they also inspire a strong sense of  confidence and self esteem.  They are abundant in valuable life lessons that will inspire you as a parent.  Many of the lessons are from us being clueless and making bad choices.  

So hop aboard this train and enjoy the ride,  it stops along the way, so you can get off at anytime.  The journey is just beginning............ALL ABOARD!

Yours in adventure,

Gypsy Mumma and Dad
