So everyone’s talking about a 90s summer with their kids and I’m loving it! I grew up in that era when summers were simple. My kids will be enjoying days outside at the pool, running through sprinkles, and eating popsicles. No schedule, just fun summer days. 

This outfit reminds me of the 90s with the bright blue colors💙How will you be spending your summer break? #summerootd #athleisurestyle

favorite newborn accessory here’s my little secr favorite newborn accessory 

here’s my little secret to getting things done around the house with a newborn. I love the Wildbird baby carrier! It’s easy to put on and comfy for both of us. My baby boy always falls asleep and I’m able to have productive days. Homeschooling and checking off my daily household tasks is so much easier with this baby carrier. Also my baby boy is 12 pounds so I’m basically wearing a weighted vest and getting my daily workout in!

homeschool activities ♟️ So Maddie and little Ra homeschool activities ♟️ 

So Maddie and little Ray learned how to play chess and they’re so good at it now. They started taking lessons with the free @duolingo app and it’s been so helping in teaching them! Chess is a game of strategy that helps kids learn to evaluate positions, recognize patterns, and analyze “if-then” scenarios. Now it’s time for me to learn lol. 

Do you and your kids know how to play chess? I highly recommend Duolingo (it’s free) if your kids want to learn a new language or learn how to play chess! #homeschoolactivities #homeschoolmom #homeschoolcurriculum https://liketk.it/6dpfI

Learning Resource for Kids at Home During the Holidays

Play Osmo Kits BYJU Learning

As a homeschool family, I love finding learning resources for my kids. During the fall and winter seasons, we spend a lot more time at home. So it’s important that I have a variety of educational resources for my kids. My daughter is in the 2nd grade so we have been focusing on math concepts, reading, analytic thinking, and critical thinking. So, I found a great learning resource that focuses on these concepts. With Play Osmo, kids are able to enjoy hands-on learning activities on the Ipad! We have a variety of different Play Osmo kits. Our favorite is BYJU’s Learning Featuring Disney. My daughter was so excited about this Osmo Kit because it features Disney characters from Frozen, Lion King, Toy Story and more. As a former teacher, I understand that kids learn best when they can make connections with learning. So seeing the Disney characters throughout the workbooks was a great motivation for learning. 

Perfect Holiday Gift 

BYJU’s Learning Featuring Disney is the perfect holiday gift for kids! When I start my holiday shopping, I like to include fun learning activities and resources for my kids. It’s important that my kids find joy in learning. So the BYJU’s Learning Featuring Disney is the perfect holiday gift. The kit comes with a variety of different workbooks focused on reading and math concepts plus there are so many educational games, stories, and lessons! I also like that this is a gift that can be used for a good amount of time because there are endless activities. 

What’s in the Osmo Learning Kit?

  • A set of “Magic Workbooks” across reading, math, and language
  • 1 year access to the BYJU’S Learning App featuring Disney
  • Osmo base and reflector technology
  • Wizpen (or crayons for younger grades)
  • 2,500+ fun, educational activities including video lessons, quizzes, stories and personalized to your child’s learning level and pace.
  • Disney storytelling with characters from Frozen, Cars, Toy Story and more.
  • Recommendations to keep your child motivated and Rewards to celebrate accomplishments.
  • Parent progress reports to track the skills your child is learning

Why I Love Osmo Learning Kits

Play Osmo kits are a great blend of fun and learning for kids. Also, as a former teacher I love that the BYJU’s Learning Featuring Disney, is curriculum based learning. So all the activities and lessons build on what my kids are learning in school. The grade levels to choose from are Pre-K-3rd grade. I also love that the activities and lessons incorporate the Disney characters. So this is definitely a mom win!
