Nanny to Mommy

This summer, my main goal is to make sure my daughter doesn't suffer from summer brain drain. So I have been trying to get creative on how we play. I have some craft ideas (that I will be sharing soon) and we have even been getting creative in the kitchen together. My daughter actually likes flash cards, so we have been working with those. We also bought some BOB books and she has started recognizing more sight words.

I was also contacted about reviewing a Discover Box for Sensory Play from Revelae Kids I jumped at the chance. Discovery Boxes introduce kids to a magical world of realistic-looking creatures, sparkling crystals, colorful rocks & shells, and miniature plants & flowers. Discovery Boxes encourage hours of imaginative play; kids can scoop up the sensory beans, water beads or play sand and discover the hidden treasures within each box.

The warmer weather has arrived and families are gearing up for summer travel. Janessa from Thrifty Nifty Mommy recently shared about Summer road trip must-haves for families with children. Safety is a top priority when it comes to road trips, and that's why we're excited to offer a giveaway for Janessa's favorite car seat, the Diono Radian RXT Convertible + Booster Car Seat.

I love the idea of juice, but usually they are too sweet for me. But water day in and day out can get boring. So I was very interested when I received the opportunity to try out some Santa Cruz Organic Aqua Fresca. Inspired by traditional aqua fresca, Santa Cruz Organic Aqua Fresca is made with core ingredients such as USDA organic fruit juice, sugar, and a hint of lemon juice. These refreshing and lightly sweetened beverages are Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, and available in three varieties: Pomegranate, Mango Passionfruit, and Grapefruit.

My daughter is out of school and we have already been enjoying a ton of summer fun! If you follow me on social media, then you might have witnessed the awesomeness that is Six Flags Over Georgia's World's First Super Friends area. We were invited out for a special media Grand Opening Celebration. It was a hot day, but we had a blast experiencing the new rides.

Rides Included:

I just realized that I haven't been sharing too much of my personal life lately. Even though SO MUCH has been going on!

 My daughter "graduated" pre-k and will be off to Kindergarten next year. She is registered and ready to roll. I'm so excited for her and I know she will have so much fun. We have so many fun plans for the summer, including learning activities so she doesn't get "lazy brain" over the summer.
 

Our Spring Dance Recital was this past weekend. My daughter did great, but I think the stress of performing over whelms her. This is the second time she has cried backstage. She wants to try gymnastics and we are going to let her. We were invited to participate in company and as exciting, amazing opportunity as that is, I just don't know if she will be able to handle all of the competitions/performances that requires. I'm still torn, but ultimately I just want her to be happy.
