Millennial Parents Teach Their Children about STEM with the Pinbox 3000

PinBox 3000 - Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Arts - @WeekendsCount

Our family usually struggles to finding activities that can engage mom, dad, and the kindergartener. Now, we will struggle NO MORE! We received an invitation to review the Pinbox 3000 and we were slightly reluctant to accept a DIY item. Boy were we wrong! It was amazing!

I was away for a weekend for a conference and my husband and daughter constructed and decorated our family's new Pinbox 3000! I arrived back home and it was incredible! We had a GREAT time creating and reviewing the product!

The Pinbox 3000 enabled our family to focus on ourselves and laugh during a very difficult time for all of us! Thank you Pinbox 3000 for the opportunity to review this product...this amazing product!

A Preschooler's Review of Terry Treetop and the Little Bear by Tali Carmi

We hope you are having a great week!

Over the holidays, we visited my little one's grandparents in East Texas. This was an incredible road trip for her, because she enjoys the drive. However, it is difficult to keep those important bedtime routines and travel with minimal items.

As a result, we travel light and incorporate mommy's iPad in the bedtime routine by utilizing the Kindle App. We have the Kindle Unlimited plan and this has been great for those busy times when working parents cannot visit the library during the week. Here's our video review!

Remember, we are on our journey to read 1,000 books before kindergarten and the book for the first night of our trip was Terry Treetop and the Little Bear. This book was great and it engaged my preschooler the entire time!

She enjoyed the pictures and rated this book higher than the other books that she read during the weekend. She loves the five star rating system and she will rate books MORE stars or LESS stars than the other books during the week's timeframe.

Check out the hashtag for this book - #TerryTreetopandtheLittleBear

Have a great week and plan for the weekend! Come back next week for our weekly review!

10 Reasons to Shop the Just Between Friends Sale in Fort Worth, TX

When I enter my child's room each morning, I experience a genuine moment of panic. What will she wear to daycare this morning? She is in the frilly, pink, pretty princess stage and I struggle with the daily phrase, "Mommy - I do not want to wear this, I want to wear my princess dress".
Well, this mom is completely out of frilly, pink, pretty princess dresses because we are in need of a larger dress size for my little one. Perhaps, I should select clothing that is more durable for the daily spills and toddler-friendly, but sometimes I just like to make my little one's day.

1 - Find any Camp Preview Days in Your Area!

These preview days are easy ways to your family to experience "camp" without actually camping (at least not yet). I enjoy these days because they helps me think my camp experiences from Lake Tyler! I cannot wait for our little one to have the CAMP EXPERIENCE!

We will attend the Camp El Tesoro Preview day this weekend (Saturday, March 7, 2015).
It looks amazing!
