Road Trip

Hey everyone! Planning any road trips lately for your family? I came across a fabulous website for moms...and dads. LOL . The site is called momsminivan.com. They have so many car games, travel games and road trip tips here. They say that they have over 101 tips and by looking at the site, I surely think that they miscounted. ~smile~ At mom's minivan, they have ideas for toddlers and babies, as well as printable car games.

Also another great find that I went click crazy is family-roadtrip.com. Just to quote them: "This is the place to start planning your next family road trip or other vacation." When they say planning, they mean planning! You can get free travel planners from every state as well as coupons, maps and other useful information. Just swing on by and give it a looksee.

After continuously crusin'~per Smokey Robinson~ I came across another great find, Roadtrip America. This site list several other links to help you create more summer memories with your children.

Last but not least I saw a site that listed Travel Tips and Ideas when traveling with your children on your roadtrip. It list things to bring that even I hadn't thought about. A frisbee, plastic box, compass, and of course plenty of snacks.

Don't forget a camera to capture all of those embarrassing moments, and the memorable moments as well. Be safe and happy traveling!

PS. Here's one for the road...~pun intended~ ccb.lis.uiuc.edu/.../hettling/roadtrip.html.

Children Starting Daycare, School, Or College?

Then I have some sites here for you to check out. Let me know what you think. For all of those pre-k's out there there is a site that will be beneficial to you. There is a site for K-2 that is great for helping your child to learn how to read. I checked it out myself, it caught my attention! The website is http://www.starfall.com/. It states on the website that it is primarily designed for first grade, but also useful for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and second grade. Starfall is perfect for homeschooling. I completely agree. I also came across another site for those that are having difficulty in Math. I honestly loathed math in school. If I would've had access to this website, then I would have had less headaches! The site is sorted by grade level. It goes from kindergarten through the eight grade....can someone say pre-algebra? For all of you future spelling bee champions or for those of you wanting to brush up your vocabulary , that site is an excellent place to go to. It helps with spelling also! For all of you high school students the website you need to be visiting regularly is www.fafsa.ed.gov/ this is the place to be! You should know the commercial: Apply and get money for college. This is so important to find out what is available to you. Research! Research! Research! Learn everything you can about each College or University that you are interested in attending. I personally went to a private hbcu. Learn more about the my college (Falcon Pride!) ~Ahem~ But take the time to think about what you want to do and where you want to go to achieve that goal.

Parents: Do you think that in today's society, that the importance of college is forced or not as important?

Children: What College or University do you want to go to?
