Kennedy Space Center VLOG - We Touched The Moon!

  We finally made it to Florida for a family vacation. Hubby and I hadn't been down since spring break, in college. We knew that we wanted to explore a few places while we were there, instead of spending our whole week at Disney. My husband and my 5 year old son are total space nerds, and I love any trip that can spin into a homeschool lesson, so we chose The Kennedy Space Center. This place was super fun. Our toddler actually loved it. Tons of family friendly learning, and we even got to touch the moon! I'll have a post with tips and tricks soon. This one is just our vlog. One tip for now- Get there early! We made the mistake of thinking that we would spnd the same amount of time that we would at a museum, and we didnt have enough time to do everything.

Little Passports Lesson About the United States Subscription Box for Kid...

  I was on the hunt for games and activities to help my 5 year old learn about the states. (I still am, if you have any ideas) We travel a lot, and I like to teach him about that states that we go to. In 2015, we did a review and unboxing for the Little Passports Around The World Box, and I decided to try their subscription box for the United States. The box contains activities that teach kiddos about different states.

  The box in this video is the first box in the series. My son loved it. Namely the scratch book. He even remembered the Liberty Bell, which we saw last summer. The video shows an in depth view of whats in the box, but it came with- A folder, a letter, an activity book, a scratch book and an awesome map.

  We're happy that Home Depot still has their FREE Workshops for kiddos. Are you as sad as we are about this?

Kidstir Subscription Box - A Box For Kids That Love To Cook - Great For ...

  We finally tried a new subscription box, and Logan loves it! If you're new here, Logan is 5 and loves to cook. We bought him an Easy Bake Oven a couple years ago, but he's already outgrown it. He's more into cooking dinner for everyone now (with plenty of help, of course). Let's keep our fingers crossed that he still feels this way when he's a teenager. (If only, right?) Back to the subscription box- Kidstir is a box for kiddos who like to cook. Our unboxing video can give ya a better peek. Our first box came with an apron, a cookbook, a quality spatula, recipe cards, place cards, and activity sheets. We've actually been using the scapula in place of the one that we already had because it works so well. Dead serious. Im only a little ashamed to tell you that. (lol) We look for subscription boxes that can help the kiddos learn. This on was perfect for our 5 year old, but I feel like this would also be perfect for older kids & teenagers. I love STEM learning! The activity sheets make this an easy homeschool activity or an awesome after school learning affair. I love that this box comes with useful items that can be used over and over, and I also love that it comes with activity sheets. A definite plus. For more info, or to order a box, click this banner-
