Is Super.Strawberry.Fun about…strawberries?
Um…actually, no. Super.Strawberry.Fun is about living, laughing and learning together as a family – not just academic stuff (although obviously that is important), but also the things that make the world a better place, like wisdom and hope and courage and kindness.
We hope to share with you the ideas and experiences that we’ve found worked for us, and we’d love it if they gave you a giggle or something to think about or even try with your own family – and if they did, we’d love to hear from you about it!
Who are “we”?
The Super.Strawberry.Fun team is made up of:
- The Super Strawberry (aka Mama Strawberry)
- Junior Strawberry One (aka Strawberry Girl)
- Junior Strawberry Two (aka Strawberry Boy)
Honourable mention goes to Papa Strawberry also, who works at a Mystery JobTM a lot of the time, but who still makes every effort to join in on our shenanigans.
Why are we called “Super.Strawberry.Fun”?
Strawberries are sweet! Strawberries are tangy! Strawberries remind us of idyllic summer days where the hours stretch out endlessly with nothing more urgent to do than lie around and nom on cool and juicy fruits together.
Junior Strawberry Two once named a character in a story we were making together “Super Strawberry” (see: The Icarus Project), which made Junior Strawberry One crack up for all of five minutes, and that’s how Super.Strawberry began. We added on “Fun” because that’s something that we never want to forget about having together, even when life gets messy and busy.
Do we really like strawberries?
Junior Strawberry Two really, really, really likes strawberries. He loves strawberries fresh, dried, in ice cream, in his cake, in his Pocky sticks…basically any kind, anywhere. The Super Strawberry likes them, too, but they need to be washed thoroughly first!
Junior Strawberry One runs and hides at the mention of fruits in general, so…no. (We still hope she’ll grow out of it.)
How often will you hear from us?
We’ll do our best to update this blog every Monday and Thursday. If you join our mailing list, we promise not to send you stuff more than once a month!
