"I am Mom Unplugged, a mother of three children, ages 3, 7, and 8 (and way too many pets). We have no TV, no video games, and no loud toys. Please join me as I attempt to make sense of this crazy life we lead. I promise to dispense plenty of unasked-for advice along the way, as I swim upstream in our increasingly technological world, struggling not to drown!"

Tiny – Cool Colored Rice: An all-ages project!! (Weekly Unplugged Project)

Our Weekly Unplugged Project post for this week’s theme of tiny is coloring rice (a grain of rice is tiny, right?).
Not very original, but I was going to take this a step farther with a colored rice project.  However this simple first step was such a HUGE hit with my kids of all ages and [...]

Mechanical – Weekly Unplugged Project

If you did a petal [...]

All is the same as usual:
If you have a dark Unplugged Project to post, please link to your [...]

Magic – Weekly Unplugged Project

The theme for this week’s Unplugged Project was magic. We didn’t get to it this week.
I spent last week and the weekend sorting through other people’s castoffs for our annual school yard sale. My conclusion? People have A LOT OF STUFF.
If we get to a magic project later in the week, I’ll [...]
