The little guy was a super trooper at the orthodontist Friday, so it's been nonstop Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest this weekend. Immediately after each game, he asks, "Again?" Incredible game! #geekyparent #boardgames #libertalia #windsofgalecrest #skypirates #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #pirategame #libertaliawindsofgalecrest #pirates #tabletop #boardgame #game #weekend #parentlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CokjSd0Pcc3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There's been a lot of board game action since the holidays and it makes this geeky parent's heart so happy. #boardgames #tickettoride #coup #pokemon #libertalia #radlands #carcassonne #boardgamesofinstagram #geekyparent https://www.instagram.com/p/CnS9HhNMtiG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This morning's bedhead is sponsored by voting. I want my kids to always know I have their backs; now and however long down the road. I want them to be who they're meant to be. Voting means putting trust in people who I think will give each and every person a chance to do just that. My vote goes to individuals who think each and every person matters. Not only do I believe black lives matter. Not only do I believe LGBTQ lives matter. Not only do I believe all persons of color matter. It's important to say it, show it, and let my kids understand that every person should be accepted for who they are. Remember the old adage, "Never judge a book by its cover"? Well, I took that to heart and I want my kids to do the same. We all look, talk, act different. I'm a 6'5 dork who's socially awkward and usually has a resting G(rumpy)-face. What does that say about me? Everyone knows I'm not perfect, but I at least want everyone to have the chance to be equally imperfect. I hope my kids will always know I love them to the moon and back, and I also hope they realize every other person deserves that too. #vote https://www.instagram.com/p/CkgGHH-sY2f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's hard to believe summer is almost over as the kids go back to school on Monday. Our trip to Lisbon brought us some long walks, narrow sidewalks, and an abundance of beautiful sights. I shared our experiences over on @fanbasepress.

As I sat here at @diamici.pizzaemcasa in Belem, Portugal, I thought, "Is this the best pizza I've ever had?" The pizza is that great! Plus, the staff is incredible and charming. If you visit Lisbon, make your way to quite possibly the best slice of pizza you'll ever have. For more of my adventures to Lisbon, read my article over on @fanbasepress.

It's hard to put into words how much our family trip to Lisbon means to me. Exploring a new city the entire family has never been. Trying new foods. Walking anywhere and everywhere. Walk along with me as I share our journey over on @fanbasepress.

My boy turned 8 this weekend and his Aunt @lorid841 made a very special cake for him. He loves #SuperMario and we had him close his eyes until the cake was right in front of him. He was so happy and I love seeing that. #supermariobros #birthdaycake #geekyparent https://www.instagram.com/p/CecMsvdvrSJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The kids and I dove into our first game of #Bohnanza today and it was so much fun! Great mechanics of limited fields to build beans, while negotiating trades along the way. This was such a huge hit I can see it already being a family favorite after one play. #tabletop #boardgames #geekyparent #wineyparent #tabletopgames #uwerosenberg #cardgame #beans #family #games https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3kra1LWD-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The kiddos and I played Splendor: Marvel for the first time today and it was such a good time. Super fun and easy to learn, but I got to see them plotting ahead to capture cards. Love the design of the cards and tokens. Game 1 goes to Adelaide. Round 2 tomorrow. #splendor #marvel #tabletop #boardgames #geekyparent https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdj04SoMvmi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little Forbidden Island this morning. If we didn't have the pilot and diver, winning would've been a bit of a problem. Also, @gamewright, when you think you win, but your son has other plans. Wait for it... 🤣 #tabletop #boardgames #gamewright #forbiddenisland #geekyparent #wineyparent #waitforme https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIl_rBM2iJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
