With three kids, I’ve learned what our family needs (and wants) in the car at all times. All of these have been stocked in my car for a while and they have been so helpful.

Our daughter and nieces and nephews are older now, 21 of course :) so it was fun to try and celebrate with them but we also know they'll be out testing the water with friends and later after the birthday, they'll slowly go out if they aren't already. With these gifts, it wasn't only ‘fun props’ that I wanted to give but other items for them to be safe during these times, some for comfort and some for play. All these are good for any age and for anyone with older goods, good luck! Happy 21st 😍

After watching my son struggle to focus at school I decided to withdraw him and jump into homeschool. I knew he understood The curriculum they were doing at school because he was also doing it at home with no problem. So when I had multiple conferences with his teacher about him not being able to do his school work I decided it was time to do it myself. We are now a year into homeschooling and he is thriving. Sometimes school can be overwhelming for kids and it's not natural for them to sit down for 7 to 8 hours. I focus on a lot of interactive learning and it works well for my 2-year-old and my 6-year-old. I have listed some products that have really been key opponents to thriving in our homeschool experience.
