where I talk with my inside voice
Minecraft is still a big part of screen time around here, but in the last month we’ve also become addicted to Valheim – a new game that is still in early release on Steam, but has over 6 million players. Something about the description and the screenshots appealed to me, and for only $20, I figured it was worth a...
We bought Minecraft for Noah in 2013, not knowing what an impact it would have on our lives. That first Christmas, I remember we spent an entire day playing it, and that eventually became an annual tradition that all four of us engaged in. Yesterday, we continued the tradition – although not for the entire day – with Josie, Noah...

I’m of course talking about the insanely popular video game for the PC called Minecraft. I must admit I didn’t fully grasp what the game was all about before I bought it. But after watching my...
