When my daughter was four years old, she asked a question that changed everything: "What would happen if I put my Nerds in water?" We've spent years destroying candy and coming up with crazy science experiments, like Pixy Stix crystals, M&M m's that float, giant growing gummies, candy divers, and Skittles density rainbows, a process that led to my books Candy Experiments and Candy Experiments 2. I love asking crazy questions--and doing the research to find the answers!

I'm also the co-author of Road Tripping: A Parent's Guide to Planning and Surviving the Annual Car Trip (our family's traveled 60,000 miles so far!) It's just another way to enjoy family time and keep things fun.
