DISNEY D-LECTABLES!!! Collect ’em ALL!!
I’ll bet if you sit really quietly right now you can hear 6-year-old Alice screaming like a … well, like a six-year-old girl. Three reasons for all the squealing, first, it’s DISNEY related! DISNEY D-LECTABLES to be themprecise. Of course, anything Disney makes Alice so happy! Second is that there are Princesses involved. Last but not least, Blind Bags! Holy MOLY this kid is obsessed with blind bags; princesses and Disney all wrapped together Alice is giddy as a kid in an Ice Cream store (YES! I do think that I am a funny girl!) Hello D-Lectables!!

Summer Fun With Outdoor Movies!!
Summer fun! Summer boredom busters Y’all know that I am trying to find things to do with 6-year-old Alice this summer. So the first thing we did was sit down and make a list of things we wanted to do. Then we cut all the ideas into strips and put them in a container. We have tons of things; going to the San Diego Zoo, LEGOLAND, San Diego Safari Park, movies, tons of pool and beach days. Several of our ideas have multiple strips. I’ve mentioned before that I try everything I can to stretch out the activities so that I’m not pulling my hair out by 11am. First I let Alice sleep until she wakes up on her own. Some mornings it’s 9 or 9:30!! Then has to decide what’s for breakfast and help me fix it. Then clean up the kitchen. WOW now it’s what 10am? We work on our school notebooks, math, writing and then she has…

Summer Activities For Kids! S.T.E.M Education Activities
I’ve been looking for a way to reinforce all of the S.T.E.M education that Alice learned in school this year into our summer activities. When I was approached by TOMO to review a 2-in1 robot I was giddy!! S.T.E.M education is truly the wave of the future. An acronym for the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. So I’m right when I say this is the future for our children. Now, to incorporate this into our summer it needs to be fun. Seriously, even I don’t want to work now!! It’s SUMMER VACATION people!! Alice and I would like to introduce you to Bob! A 2-in-1 Transformable DIY Programmable Robot . Alice and I enlisted the help of PopPop to build our Robot. Alice immediately christened the robot as Bob!! The instructions are easy to follow and clearly written. There are two options to build Bob (obviously with the 2-in-1 name right!) You can either build Bob (aka TOMO)…

Best Electrical Safety Tips for Kids!!
Being a parent, you are probably accustomed to having to constantly worry about where your kids are and what they are doing, what they are playing with. If there’s crashing and yelling you know there is trouble, and if its way too quiet you know there’s trouble. It can sometimes feel like kids are determined to give us a heart condition before they reach kindergarten. I’ll never forget my husband’s reaction when our 8-month-old son, pulled the outlet cover off the outlet and handed it to me. Sheer Panic! The good news is, there are still plenty of effective ways to keep our kids safe when it comes of electricity. Read on to hear my electrical safety tips. Reduce wiring Instead of running wires and extension cords across rooms, why not opt for Dadz Electrical Services (or a similar one from your locality) to run additional lines and install more convenient outlets? This can save you money long-term, because professionals can…

What Educational Games Should I Play with My Child?
You all want your child to grow up and be a smart confident person, and that starts by playing educational games with them at a young age. There is a fine line that you must toe to get the most knowledge without your child losing confidence. If you play a difficult game with your child they may not grasp the concept and lose confidence in their abilities. Conversely, if you play a game that is too easy they will be confident in their answers, but they are not gaining the same level of knowledge. The child care center of Sydney offers educational games of all levels to match your child’s needs. For your child to have a well-rounded learning experience they should learn math games, language games, and social games. There are countless math games that you can play with your child. One of the best ways to teach children basic math problems is to incorporate a fun activity with…
