Kumon Book of Cutting Review

When Timberdoodle offered me the opportunity to review Kumon’s new My Book of Cutting, I agreed without hesitation. That’s because I’d already tried some of Kumon’s other skill building workbooks with a few of my grandchildren.

Mobi Zippee Toy Review

Timberdoodle recently released their spring catalog which is chock-full of fun new offerings such as the Mobi Zippee Toy I tried out on my grandbaby this week. This toy is much softer and squishier than I anticipated. I thought the central capsule would be hard plastic, but it is actually made of textured, food-grade silicone. The toy is designed for…

Nautical Terms Trivia Test

Last month our family cruised to the Caribbean along with one of our married sons (Samuel) and his family. We made some wonderful memories together, both onboard the ship and in various ports of call. But the fun didn’t end when we disembarked. That’s because, unbeknownst to us, Samuel had been secretly collecting data the entire time for a Cruise…

And depending upon the amount of stuff that needs storing, there may or may not be any room left for the car. Can you relate? Then these tips for organizing your garage should help. If…

We are so very grateful for those who paid the ult We are so very grateful for those who paid the ultimate price to secure and protect our liberty, and we are also thankful for places like this — the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO — for preserving this integral part of our nation’s history.  “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”  #flandersfamilytravels #memorialday #landoftgefreebecauseofthebrave

For the most part, our days of traveling with ten For the most part, our days of traveling with ten or twelve kids in tow are behind us.  For the majority of our trips during the past year, we’ve had only these three tagging along. Sometimes just the youngest two.  By this time next year, we’ll be down to only Abby.  The speed with which all our chicks have grown up and left the nest have made me so grateful for the years we’ve spent homeschooling them and for the freedom that decision has allowed us to travel together whenever and wherever my husband’s schedule would allow.  Traveling cross country with cranky toddlers isn’t always fun.  Backpacking Europe with a breastfeeding baby takes effort.  Cramming 12 people into a 500 sq ft army barrack during Daddy’s 4-month (stateside) deployment so we can all be together requires commitment.  But all the memories and comradery and love that such small sacrifices foster are so worth it!  So don’t put off traveling with your kids until they are older. Even if you are just driving across town to explore a park or museum you’ve never seen before, do it without delay.  If you wait too long, you may not have any kids left at home to share the experience with. 🥲  #flandersfamilytravels #homeshooling #siezetheday
