Though she she says she’d have to be kidnapped to go, Kate Homminga joins us in snowmageddon. We talk about her early life in many places, writing, being a master cake baker, and homeschooling her kids (that is, being amazing in lots of ways). In addition to the four games, Kate offers her recommended games to bring should kids be along for the adventure.
Listen to the episode with Kate here.
You really should read Kate’s A Place at the Table blog posts.
