Keep The Kids Entertained during Quarantine

 I know that right now many of us parents are trying to find ways to keep our kids entertained during the quarantine. I am sharing some wonderful ideas below with you that I have been coming across. I personally am trying to limit my kids time with electronics. I have been doing this by finding virtual field trips for them to take so they are still learning and not just playing games or watching mindless TV shows.

Three Ways to Make the Most of Your Trip to Florida

 

Florida is the ‘Sunshine State’, and it offers everything that you would imagine from America’s most dazzling clime. With warm weather, smiling locals, and attractions galore, it’s the perfect place to visit for families, gap year explorers, and luxury lovers alike. Flight Centre can help you get on your way to a fun Florida getaway.

Sometimes, when you travel to a new destination, it’s nice to go off the beaten track and see it from a different perspective, and this is one of the best ways to visit Florida. Although it’s famed for its beaches, theme parks, and pristine golf courses, there is much more to the Sunshine State for those who go in search of its many hidden 

gems…

Media Masters Publicity BOOK REVIEW: Disney Stories for 2 + 3 year olds

 

How perfect are these Disney books for specific age groups. My LO is now 3.5 and we still read every night. It is a great way to bond with your child. Most of these short stories have a few sentences on each page and less than 15 pages. I know after a long day of working, cooking, cleaning, running a toddler, and taking care of my husband and two dogs, by the end of the night I am SPENT! These short stories have beautiful illustrations which my LO loves. 

National Geographic for Kids

 

One thing that I love to do is encourage my children to read. I also love to have them learn about different cultures that are not local to our area. National Geographic Kids helps me give my children to learn about the world that they live in. Most books seem hard for my younger children to understand and National Geographic understands that and made books that the younger readers can easily understand. 

National Geographic Kids has such a great variety of products to offer children of all ages. It no longer is just the magazines for adults. They have broadened their selection of products to reach more audiences. I personally love the kids selection of items they offer. I enjoy sitting down and reading the books with my children. Not only are my children engaged with the books I am too. 

I recently received some wonderful books to review with my children from National Geographic Kids. I love the wide variety of topics that they offer for the kids. There is literally something on any topic (nature wise) that your child could be interested in.

New Year, New Goals

 

I know that we all start the New Year with goals that we want to reach in the New Year. Almost all of us fail at the goals we set within the first few weeks. I am very guilty of that myself so this year I decided to switch things up. Instead of making the normal weight loss goals for myself I decided to make goals of getting my house in order to sell. We quickly outgrew our home no sooner than we moved in. We are slowly working on getting out of debt and getting things in order for what we would like to do with our future. 

We sent 2019 out the window in Florida with family and new friends. The two weeks we spent in Florida really opened my eyes to what needs to be done for my family. I have decided to no longer do what makes everyone else happy. Instead I am going to do what makes my family happy and healthy. Since our oldest son is now in High School and starting to think about college and careers I have made sure he knows that he can go after his dreams even if it means he is not close to me. I do not want my children trapped in a state that has nothing to offer them. 

So welcome to the New Year! We hope you will follow along with the blog this year and all the adventures we hope to go on. I am hoping to bring you more recipes and travel posts this year. I will be posting soon all the different parks we visited while in Florida.

Books and more books; I love books for my children! That is also one gift that gives back because it helps my children learn the valuable skill of reading and comprehension. With having five children lots of reading occurs in our home and we have lots of books. Books are one thing that I personally think children can not have to many of. We get the kids books for Christmas every year and this is no exception! They will be getting lots of great books including some wonderful ones from Workman publishing.
