Drawing from hands-on experience in sustainable gardening, creative DIY solutions, and child development through play, they've helped thousands of families build not just forts, but lasting memories. Their work has been featured in several parenting magazines, and they regularly conduct workshops on creative family activities. When not writing or testing new fort designs, you'll find them tending to their experimental garden fort or brainstorming new ideas with their three kids, who serve as their primary "quality control" team.
