About the author

Kas Winters

The Mother of Family Ideas

Kas Winters has written and illustrated several family books. She lives in her beloved Arizona with her husband, Roger, and a house full of active children. MOTHER LODE, inspired by her international newsletter, "The Troubadour," is the latest addition to her list of accomplishments. Kas mentors scouts, celebrates holidays (which her family calls "Cecil B. de Kas productions") and takes photos non-stop. She sings Broadway tunes, cooks from scratch, and camps in the woods. A graduate of Arizona State University, she insists that writing is like eating and breathing, an essential part of living, and dreams that her work will make a positive difference to families.

Learn more that 700 ideas that take only pennies and minutes for a parent; teach children useful skills; build self-esteem, self-reliance and self-confidence; provide children with healthy activities, and make bored a thing of the past because the ideas are just plain fun! There are more than 50 variations of games to play that involve tossing a ball or an alternative to a ball and pages of other catching, rolling and batting games for children of all ages. Discover how to entertain children with silly ways to move around, hikes, relay races and obstacle courses as well as various climbing and jumping activities. Water play and a variety of ways to travel-on-wheels are included. Safety information is provided for parents. The best part is that these activities do not require expensive materials or equipment and once you get a child interested (which seldom takes long) they can have fun while you simply observe for safety, be available for conversation, and accomplish things on your own "to-do" list.

What people are saying about Mother Lode:

 

"ROFL -- I have to share this with you!! I can't remember if I told you that I have a large family and homeschool as well. Additionally, one of our college sons came home this weekend for fall break. I went to look at something in the Mother Lode book and realized that the book has disappeared off my desk. Thinking my 5 or 6 year olds were the culprits, I started there. Indeed, they HAD it -- but said an older (age 10) brother had taken it to look at something for science. I tracked him down and he shared that his 13 year old sibling had taken if from him when he was asking a question. I went to that child and he shared that the 16 year old and college student (age 20) were trying some of the suggestions downstairs!! LOL Sheesh--well at least you know it is getting some use AND I could recommend it for part of an exercise regime!
