A Guide to Taking Your Family on an Active Vacation

 When you have kids, you might be planning to help them to let off steam on an active vacation. This can be a great, cheap option when you have kids that can reignite their interest in sports and exercise while also allowing you to create great memories with all of your family members. Therefore, here is a guide to taking your family on an active vacation no matter what your budget is. 

  • Pack the Right Clothing

It can be difficult to find practical clothes to run around after the kids in at the best of times. However, it can be even more difficult to choose the right clothes for your active vacation. You should ensure that you research the gear that your entire family will need for the sports that you will be enjoying, as well as the type of weather you should be dressing for. However, it can be expensive to find the right gear for your family. Consider looking for discounts on activewear. For instance, if you need durable sports socks, Giving Assistant can help you to make the best of the Darn Tough socks sale with their coupons. 

  • Immerse Your Kids in Nature 

When you are intending to take your family on an active vacation, you should find ways to immerse your kids in nature rather than paying for indoor sporting activities. Getting out into nature can encourage your kids to be naturally active and can give them space to run around and burn off their excess energy. Not only this but immersing your kids in nature through hikes is a completely free activity that you can enjoy with the entirety of your family. 

  • Bring Snacks

If you want to avoid having to pay out for food in the first, usually expensive, restaurant that you find whenever the kids get hungry, you should make sure that you take a lot of snacks with you on your trip. When your kids are more active than usual, they will also need to eat more, and so bringing snacks can save you money while helping you to avoid tantrums and your child’s wrath.

  • Take Breaks

To ensure that your kids can enjoy every moment of the trip and that they do not get burned out halfway through your trip, your family should take ample breaks. For instance, you might spend a day lounging at the beach or in your resort’s swimming pool. This can help your whole family to relax and can even save you money, as you will not have to keep spending out on expensive activities to fill every single moment of the day.

  • Remember Extra Luggage

When you are packing for an active vacation, you will likely have extra luggage, such as sporting equipment and gear. You need to make sure that you are prepared to pay for the costs of additional baggage or that you can compromise on the other items that you pack in your bags. You might also consider spreading your luggage out between everyone’s suitcases, as children will usually have fewer possessions to take with them, but the same weight limit on their luggage.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
