Bedtime Math Parent Blog Writer

For a few weeks, I have been holding back on announcing some fantastic news. I was recently asked to write posts for the Bedtime Math Parent blog. Now that all of the paper work is signed and my first post is live, I thought I would share some information with my readers. It is no secret that math and science are a huge part of our world thanks to my love and TechyDad’s. Our kids have been naturally curious about numbers, math concepts, and like to play with math games when given the choice. My oldest son, NHL, has always incorporated math problems into his art work.

As a parent, I love why Laura Bilodeau Overdeck created Bedtime Math for families. The mission is to make math a fun part of kids’ everyday lives. Math is a part of our world, so why not find it within the fun that families do each and every day? That is exactly what the book, website, and app are working to do. This video shares a bit more about the book by Overdeck.

So my question this week is inspired by my new project:

What fun ways have you incorporated math into your family and lives outside of the school setting?

Disclosure: My writing for Bedtime Math is compensated, but I was never asked to share this on my blog. I believe in adding enriching activities into the lives of our children, and Bedtime Math does this, so I wanted to share.

Lots to Learn at TypeACon

I had planned on a post today about some of the items that I learned at TypeACon in Atlanta. Unfortunately, things changed a bit this morning when my husband was in a car accident. I was walking my boys into school and I received a call. Thank goodness TechyDad is fine, but now the stress of dealing with insurance companies begins. So I figured that I would share some of the wonderful live blogging posts that my friend Christina of WELL, in THIS House wrote during the three days.

TypeACon 2013 in Atlanta Sept 27-29

Here are all of the posts that totaled 12,456 words during the time we were there.

Now, I am off to spend time with my family and hug my husband who is safe. After that, I will look over my notes to plan posts, set goals, and brain storm through all that I learned while at the amazing conference experience that is Type-A Parent.

Disney and Star Wars Unite at TypeACon 2013

While away learning at TypeACon in Atlanta, Disney Parks was a sponsor in association with the Disney Parks Blog. Of course, you know what that means: a magical party on Saturday. We had no clue what the theme would be until an email was sent out during the conference hours before the party. We were asked if we had joined Princess Leia and her Rebel Forces, or pledged allegiance to Darth Vader and the Dark Side. A huge thank you to Disney Parks Social Media Director Leanne “Jedi” Jakubowski and Disney Parks Social Media Managing Editor Gary “Obi-Wanna-Be” Buchanan for being amazing hosts during the hyperspace reception. The Force was definitely with us Saturday evening as you will see in the photos below.
