Great Shows for Their Age My son is 8 and my daughter is 10. They can always find programs that are age appropriate and interesting for them.

Answer........Nothing. As a former teacher, I remember thinking of all the things kids could be working on and skills they could be practicing while at home during the summer. I have since changed my way of thinking on this topic. Sometimes kids need time to disconnect from school work, just as adults need a break from their careers. I have pushed Summer Learning Workbooks on my kids in past summers, but this summer I thought I would just let … [Read more...]

I used to like taking the kids on field trips a few times a week, but that is just not possible now. If you have … [Read more...]
Disclaimer: I received a WummelBox for review purposes; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone. We were so excited to get the WummelBox to review! We have been trying to find new and fun things to do together to keep the kids from asking for the iPad or TV. Recently we have been in the yard playing with frogs, but after doing this day after day the kids were ready for something new. We got the WummelBox in the mail and the kids were … [Read more...]
