Little Cooks Co Baking Box for June

This month, our Little Cooks Co box contained something involving strawberries, which Amelia was really excited for! The Little Cooks Co box is a children’s cooking box, with healthier recipes and opportunities to reflect on what is being learned and how these dishes are healthy. Inside this month’s box, we had two recipes (a main recipe and a fun recipe included), dry ingredients for our main recipe, a recipe and some ingredients for hand lotion and spinach seeds. As this is our third box, we also got a little cupcake badge, with a 1 on it – though Amelia felt the 1 was secretly a 7 because of how big the “hat” of the number is.

Las Tapas Eat Drink Indulge | Restaurant Review

Tapas is always an exciting time out! While looking for places to eat nearby, Dann came across Las Tapas in Brentwood.

The menu looked fancy and lovely, the venue was small but nice, and we were excited to be back out and about at a new place to eat! Let’s dive into what we had.

The Bear Can Read Koala Box for June | Review

Another month, another bundle of books! Robin is still really enjoying her Koala Box from The Bear Can Read, finding it super fun to read through these books and work on the various worksheets that are included in the box. As per usual, this box actually follows the curriculum she is learning in school, working well as an aid in her learning, so that we can continue to improve her reading and handwriting! She also very much enjoys getting mail, opening her box, and especially diving right into her books.

Teaching Children about Insects with Bright Minds

[Ad- gifted product] The sun is out, the birds are tweeting each day, and everything seems a bit warm and bright during the day. Now that the weather has gotten better, children are out playing outside, in nature. Bright Minds has tons of nature toys to help children better interact and even learn from the world around them – a much needed break from screens and always being in front of video games. Kai, actually, started playing a Roblox game all about becoming an ant and living in an ant colony. As he had this new fascination with ants, we wanted to bring that interest to the real world, so we decided to get Kai a starter ant farm. He’s quite excited about having a “proper” ant farm (IE, one with a queen ant) but those last for 30 years as an active farm, so we figured a starter farm would be better for him. To get ready to get ants, we actually picked up three items from Bright Minds.

Battle the darkness with a T-Rex Head Torch

[Ad- gifted product] Darkness is something that most kids feel they are afraid of. Often, it’s just a phase, but dealing with fears can be a challenge, especially if your child really, really doesn’t like the dark. There can be a fear that somethign is hiding in the darkness or that the darkness is full of unknowns, which can be unsettling for children. Items like the T-Rex Head Torch can stop the fear of the dark, as it puts a child in control of a torch, that they don’t even need to hold.
