Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner, Instant Family) for her biggest challenge yet – high school. When her parents mysteriously disappear while searching for the Lost City of Gold, Dora must swing into action and lead a group of ill-equipped high schoolers on a wild quest to save them. Hold on for a high stakes mission as Dora and her new friends navigate the jungle, outrun treasure hunters, and solve ancient puzzles to unlock the mystery of the fabled city.

Dora is all grown up in this new tale that actually has a playful nod to the original cartoon. My step-sister grew up loving Dora and being only a few years older while still loving cartoons, I loved her too. So when my daughter and I went to the movies, we saw the trailer for "Dora The Lost City of Gold" and were very excited. So we are thrilled to own it on digital and Blu-Ray now. And we loved the kit Paramount sent that included a Maglite as well!

Travelling as a family can be very rewarding. New experiences, food and culture can be very beneficial to young children, but for the parents, the changes to routine and worry about accidents and illnesses can make you more worried than relaxed during your trip. Here are some of the best ways to travel safely with children and make treasured family memories.

The death of a loved one can be painful for everyone, and children, in particular, can struggle with managing their emotions surrounding grief. Children understand death differently to adults, as it is a complex topic to comprehend, and because of this, their reactions can seem unusual to adults. As parents, gaining a better understanding of how children grieve and what you can do to help them is not only crucial for the wellbeing of your children, but also for your own stress levels and peace of mind. If you’re struggling with knowing what to do, here is a short guide to protecting your children after a bereavement that you might find useful.

It can be hard saying goodbye to summer. But with the fall comes so many fun activities, smells, fashion, and FOOD! One of favorite things about fall is the comfort foods. I recently received Babbleboxx's Food Favorites for Fall and it was filled with tons of fun products to enjoy all that the season brings.

Babbleboxx out did themselves and put together the perfect Food Favorites for Fall box. Every product in this box was perfect for my family and I to enjoy this season whether on-the-go or snuggle up at home. I love everything fall bring from pumpkins, colorful leaves, boots, apple picking, comfort foods, football, and so much more. This box was perfect to explore all that the season brings.
