My kids and I have found a fun way to bond AND exercise our brains!

My boys, my sibling and in-laws, and even my parents have all found something in common that we can compete and laugh over. And justify as being 'good for us.'

Brain games.

Let's face it. As we get older and get 'Mommy brain', things we thought we knew seem to have been forgotten. The solution is to exercise YOUR BRAIN. And also, it allows your kids to see how smart you really are! And that you can compete with them in several categories! For a girl who isn't a fan of video games, this is a really cool way to spend quality time with my children.

Yep! Daily brain games can increase your brain function (as does 8 hours of solid sleep and a good nap.)

My absolute favorite is Luminosity, followed very closely by Elevate. But for fun, like the night my entire extended family was waiting for a giant table at Pete and Elda's, we passed the time by challenging each other on QuizUp in the lobby to make the time FLY by and enjoy some great bonding and laughs!
