5 Essential and Engaging Learning-to-Read Books from Amazon

We are preparing for an amazing Christmas season by purchasing a few educational items for my little one. Here's a secret, we usually like to open one (or sometimes two) presents before Christmas to engage my little one when we are on a trip in November or December.

2 - Bob Books: First Stories

Yes! There are 12 books in this pack and each of them are easy-to-read! I cannot wait to write a review after Christmas!

3 - Reading Adventures Sofia the First Level Pre-1 Boxed Set

Oh, my little one loves Sophia and she will definitely love the learning-to-read process from the Disney Reading Adventures!

4 - Si llevas un ratón a la escuela (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie)
We love to incorporate Spanish for my little one's "learning at home" sessions each week! She will definitely love the Spanish version of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"! This is a great easy tool for your children to learn Spanish!

5 - Movie Night Magic! (Shimmer and Shine) (Step into Reading)
Oh, my little preschooler loves Shimmer and Shine! In fact, she sings the song almost every day! I like the fact that we can incorporate sight words with characters that she watches almost every day! This will be great for hotel nights away when our family travels throughout the year!

I cannot wait for these books to arrive! I plan to wrap them as soon as we receive them and place them under the tree (that I plan to trim as soon as possible). Surprise hubby! Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Just in case you missed it, here's our "10 Ways to Read 1,000 Books a Year Before Kindergarten" infographic!

Item 1 - The North Face Unisex Recon Squash (Youth)

Why I Purchased This Item Last Year - When I was in grade school, my backpack and I would to part ways in December and then I would receive a new backpack for Christmas. This was very costly for my single mother, but we had to do it. I wanted to avoid the extra cost with my little one and I decided to purchase a more expensive backpack. That is why I choose THIS ONE! :) It is only $5.59 at the time of this post.

Check Out This Item on Amazon - https://amzn.to/2AJul1w

Item 2 - Dymo Label Machine

I am a believer in this machine because it makes my life so much easier! I use it for labeling items for the backpack, the notebooks, the pencil cases, and much much more! These are also create for Thank You Cards and Birthday Invitations. Also, the paper is extremely affordable - $5 - $10 for a roll of 250 labels. Also, you do not have to purchase ink for the printer. I have had mine for four years! It is only $17.88 at the time of this post.

Check Out This Item on Amazon - https://amzn.to/2vixf8c/

Item 3 - Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit, Green

This is a super affordable add-on item that will supply your child with a breakfast container (great for oatmeal, cereal, or overnight oats). Then, the larger container is great for a sandwich and it is super sustainable instead of plastic bags. Next, you have the snack container, which is GREAT for snacks for ranch dip for carrots. Purchase this now! It is only $5.59 at the time of this post.

Item 4 - SmartyPants: A Box of Brain-Building Questions, Puzzles, and Games

When the children arrive home from school, this is a great opportunity to extend learning from school to your home. The SmartyPants brand is great for car rides home and to keep the children busy while you prepare dinner.

Check Out This Item on Amazon - https://amzn.to/2AJ1pGL

Item 5 - American Tourister Minnie Mouse ID Tag Travel Accessory, Minnie Mouse

Remember, I use a luggage tag instead of a new backpack. My daughter is obsessed with Minnie Mouse and this is a great (and less expensive) option for your family! Find one that matches your son or daughter's current cartoon preferences.

Seven Tips for Shopping on Amazon Prime Day!

It is the most wonderful time of the year! Amazon Prime Day!

Amazon Prime Day was created a few years ago for Amazon.com to boost sales of their products in the summertime. This event was similar to Black Friday events, but it also included limited time deals, subscribe and save deals with coupons, and deals that lasted all day. The products offered on Amazon Prime Day usually range from electronics and clothing to food products and household items.

Here are seven tips for shopping on Amazon Prime Day:

Tip #1 - Remember to download the Amazon app to receive notifications of limited time deals.

Tip #2 - At the beginning of Amazon Prime Day, remember to examine all of the limited time deals and then add these deals to your notification/watch list on the Amazon app.

Tip #3 - Determine if you need to purchase an annual subscription to Amazon Prime, Amazon Music Unlimited, or Amazon Kindle Unlimited before the day begins.

Tip #4 - Purchasing Amazon gift cards from Kroger or other stores that offer fuel points for gift card purchases.

Tip #5 - Use online shopping portals that offer rebates or airline miles for using their link to access Amazon. These shopping portals can include E-bates, American Airlines, United Airlines, and others.

Tip #6 - Set a budget before you begin shopping on Amazon Prime Day. It is easy to spend more money than you anticipate spending.

Tip #7 - Develop a list of items that usually appear on your weekly/monthly shopping list, then look for these items when the Amazon Prime list becomes available.

These simple tips can help everyone create a strategy for one of the most important savings days of the year! Remember to prepare a strategy and you can save money on items that you will purchase anyway.

Five Reasons Why YOU Need a Variety of Lightening Cable Sizes

As a parent, we are modern day superheroes for our families. We can navigate driving in the rain, protecting our families from storms, and also from waking our children with a bright light when we need to find our cell phone charging cables in the dark.

There are certain situations when parents REALLY need to find cell phone charging cords in the dark. These situations can include...

1 - Charging your cell phones in a hotel without waking the entire room.

2 - Finding the charging cable in your purse (when plugged into a mobile charger)

3 - Leaving for a trip early in the morning and finding those last minute items before departing in the shuttle.

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

Also, there are MULTIPLE reasons WHY you should have a variety of charging cord sizes!

1 - You can stretch your 6-foot cord to the back of the car to meet the charging needs of your children.

2 - You can use a 1-foot cord to charge devices in your purse without having a cord dangling from your bag!

3 - You can use a 3-4 foot cord to charge devices in your travel (or everyday backpack).

4 - You can charge items in your office on your desk (while having the 6 foot cord extend to the wall.

5 - You can always have a 1, 3/4, 6 foot cord ready-to-go for all of your parenting adventures, whether day-to-day or seasonal vacations!

We recommend the Aimus [3-Pack] Lightning Cable with LED Light (Black) as a MUST HAVE for travelers! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074DQYFK7

Travel with Unlimited Books Through Amazon Kindle Unlimited

We are still on our journey to read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and we reached our halfway point! Yes, I know that we have three more months, but we will MAKE IT! Yes, I am the mom with optimism! Plus, I have to add the books from her bedroom as well! :)

To help us on our endeavor and to prevent the weekly run to the city library, the church library, and the local Goodwill, I decided to purchase the Amazon Kindle Unlimited App for our family. I use it for my college courses, my little one uses it for her 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program and my husband uses it for church! There are 172,347 books for kids!

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

We love this app, because it is easy for summer travel (instead of traveling with 8+ books) and it is great for the family! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Here are 10 Ways that you can read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten as well! Thank you to the Hood County Library!
