Wands, Wookie’s & Wipeout’s

Wands, Wookie’s & Wipeout’s 🧙‍♂️🪄  is where the playful side of parenting gets to run wild. I’ve always loved the way stories shape us, and now I’m watching them shape my kids too. Whether we’re pretending to be Jedi on a school run or sorting Hogwarts houses based on snack preferences, this series explores how fandom blends into family life.

Interstellar surveillance. Snacks hidden in every pocket? You’re basically smuggling supplies through a galactic outpost. This week, I’m sharing the cosmic crossover between day-to-dayContinue reading “🧙 Wands, Wookie’s & Wipeout’s — Week 3”

  🧙 My Lightsaber Is Actually a Remote: The Jedi Arts of Channel Control In our galaxy, the remote is more than tech—it’s a wand, a peacekeeper, a beacon of compromise. And wielding it?
