My children just came in from doing squirt guns in the Midwest because all other water toys are down for the year already but it’s 88° here currently…

Our schedule this year doesn’t give my oldest and I our hour of time together most afternoons, but today the stars aligned and we have two blocks of time to play to new games! Both cozy and perfect for the brain power we had today #BoardGameSky

Board game Reef & Ruins (with Lagoona Monster High doll watching over the game)

My kids do one virtual after school thing... it has ClassDojo, daily emails, a website... and I just had to sign up for the app Band! They all basically tell me the same information, but sometimes the info for the day changes, and my luck that change is communicated on the platform I didn't check

We realized my youngest was getting migraines at 2, but she could have started getting them younger, that was just the point where her behavior lined up with what we were able to recognize as migraine symptoms.

Same. It’s fine and is rather memorable because it’s different

I was gardening yesterday in my front yard and landscape guys were packing up after working at the neighbors, and it took less then 5min of them talking in the street to realize neither of these guys were dad guys or wife guys, not that they didn't have those things, but they def don't like them

Someone I presume is a leftist kept doubling down this week with the idea that maskers only care about masks for the visuals and are doing none of the work across disability. When I pointed out repeatedly the work I and others r doing they kept telling me to read leftist books.

This is one we need to get to the table. We have had it for a few months

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I’m normally a low conflict person, especially on the internet, and even I was pushing back at ppl this week telling them their nonsense made no sense. It was a lot!

I love nothing more then when a website has shown me an ad for something 1,000 times and when I got looking for said thing I can not find it anywhere!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I just laughed so hard, my kids are so confused at what could be so funny

Because I might have forgotten I have a 3pm Friday meeting today and my ice maker might have decided to stop making ice leaving me with 6 cubes in a large cup for a coffee I shouldn’t be drinking this late in the day…

000

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

But what if the iced coffee only had 6 ice cubes?

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I wouldn’t either, but as someone who has been the interviewer I also wouldn’t care. I’ve only cared when someone showed up drunk to an interview to work with children

She keeps me on my toes 24hr a day 🤣

Just another day where I get to be even more worried that all of my family’s medical data is at NIH

Your newest book has been read on repeat here this week and was already used in a book report!

Rainy Saturday so learned a new game and played an old favorite! #BoardGameSky

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I need to release my holds from GameNerdz so I get this expansion. This game was a surprise hit for us this year, bought spur of the moment when my mom found it on clearance and then became one of our most played games of the year!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My youngest prefers the ASL episodes as well

We had all the symptoms in July, husband went to walk in clinic, walk in sent to ER based on vitals. They took a stool sample but it got lost and never run…

Almost every fight about this I watched with ppl I know came down to someone who barely knew anything about it was defending him as a martyr and ppl who knew anything about him were trying to talk about reality and those two things became incomparable fast

Reminder, diapers are not a punchline, they are an accessibility tool

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

7 Wonders Architects… by far my favorite 7 Wonders game, I know I’m in the minority on this one but that’s ok!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

My medically complex kid thinks this is amazing! She would want to find things around to dress it!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Oh in some parts of homeschool world it’s currently seen as the only “safe” form of media.

My kiddo has taken classes with Holly in the past and is so excited to take another one. There are still openings for her fall classes!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

This dam show has already been such a thing in our family. My teen just finished book 7 (got used) but she has asked that no one gift her new HP things, if someone gets her something from a rummage sale, great. My in-laws keep giving her shit bc she says she has no want to watch this show

My kids language arts curriculum has them making sourdough this year… we are on day 2

As a few choir directors grandchild, I’m so sorry. When my Grammy went into memory care we moved her piano with her and she would play hymns with no problems at all! When she passed we left the piano there in hopes more people are still playing hymns on it now.

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

A good way to spend a sprinkling Saturday #BoardGameSky

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

One of my favorite games! It’s such a fun mix of things

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

First play of Aiye. Interesting mancala tableau builder

010

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I just told her this and she said “I don’t care how many other classes I have to cancel, I’ll be there!” Lol

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Are you doing one for slightly younger kids this year? I have a 5th grader who would love another writing class with you!

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

They also stole tons of work from others. They are taking every shortcut they can at the fastest pace possible. I’ve watched people spin out their lives before and this all very much looks like that by a bunch of ppl w/ a lot of money that likely won’t face the consequences

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I just saw a health department post that Cyclosporiasis are slowing down so you can go back to eating lettuce again... This feels just like covid cases are trending down so you can take off your mask... I guess we don't learn

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Played the gamery of gamer games today! It’s fun, that’s the best way to describe it. I love the other games by this designer and this didn’t disappoint. It was easy to learn and production is amazing. #BoardGameSky

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I am so excited! I wanted this game so badly but didn't think it was in the cards for me... until I found out tonight that my husband and mom worked with my husband's coworker to pick me up a copy today from the booth!

020

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

We are! We were sick for over 2 weeks! Don’t know for sure what it was because the stool sample results never came back, but it was miserable. We are only eating produce out of our garden, bought from a local farmer or the stock of frozen veggies in our freezer!

010

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

My husband’s co worker is working gencon but has some free time and offered to try to pick up a couple things for us. We love Windmill Valley and Reef Project, is Entropy one we should look at putting on our list?

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

One of my top 10 games! We started last night and finished this morning… if only I could get my hands on the wooden waterfall #BoardGameSky

Birthday gift number 2 played. This one will be a great after school game. #BoardGameSky

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

As a child I was convinced that song was “Mr Cho lamb me” it makes no sense but that cd was in the mix when we cleaned the house on Saturday mornings so I heard it weekly

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Playing my first birthday gift of the year! #BoardGameSky

Amanda @brownandpinkdot.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Man I relate I feel horrible but my birthday is this week and I’m trying to figure out plans and this is honestly one of my biggest wishes for the day and I just don’t see that being reality. Mixed with the mid life of what do *I* actually think is a fun way to spend a day plus others expections
