Make It a Smart Summer: ABCmouse Review and GIVEAWAY!

So summer is coming and the kidlets are gonna be bored . . . at least some of the time.  You’ll have already taken them swimming, had friends over to play, made homemade popsicles, joined the library summer programs, and done the latest cool pin on Pinterest with them.  But there’s still 5 hours of daylight left!!!!!!

So you turn to video games and movies.  The saving grace of media comes to the rescue again.

Yes, I’ve been there and done that.  And will be doing it this summer too.  However, I have this idea that giving kids educational media instead of Sponge Bob (no offense to the big fans out there) takes away tons of the guilt that my kidlets’ brains are melting.

So I am excited to tell you about ABCmouse.com and GIVE AWAY A FREE MEMBERSHIP!!!  It’s an educational website with TONS of games, stories, puzzles, coloring, music, and more! 

ABCmouse asked me to do a review.  They gave us membership to try for Baby Girl who is 5 years old and a membership to give away to one of my readers.  Yippee!
ENTER the GIVEAWAY and one lucky person will receive a FREE MEMBERSHIP to ABCmouse.com

a Rafflecopter giveaway

 

ABCmouse is perfect for toddler, preschoolers, and Kindergarteners.  It’s geared specifically for your child’s level.  We’ve done a lot of educational computer games, and this is one of the best I’ve seen.

They have a little avatar that you can customize to look like and name after your child.  Every time you come back to play, they welcome you by saying, “Welcome back, Baby Girl!” and she loves hearing her name.  The avatar has a room to play in that your child can buy things for by saving up tickets.  Each game or activity they play earns them some tickets.  They also have an aquarium and hamster cage.  They can earn tickets to buy things for their pets.  Baby Girl LOVES saving her tickets and shopping.  It’s better than Webkinz for this age group.

There’s a classroom too with your very own teacher.  They have all subjects: READING, MATH, ART AND COLORS, THE WORLD, MUSIC, LIBRARY, PUZZLES, GAMES.  There are fun progress charts to help you and your child keep track of where they are.  They can even visit the ZOO or the FARM.  There’s a whole world for them to explore.

Every game and activity is geared for your child to learn something, but they don’t really notice because they are so interactive and well-made.

There is so much to do on ABCmouse that your child will be busy all summer!  Get them ready for pre-K or Kindergarten with this great site!  It’s a SAFE and SMART way for kids to use the computer.  They also have apps for you devices as well!

FUN DATE NIGHT IDEA! @warehouse22utah Cinebites br FUN DATE NIGHT IDEA! @warehouse22utah Cinebites brings you dinner and a movie at the same time! 

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried! 
We loved this one!! 

This is the sequel to The Play That Goes Wrong.  #peterpangoeswrong #halecentretheatre #thingstodoinutahwithkids #emptynesterlife #familyfriendly
Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
