I have only recently stumbled upon ABCmouse when another homeschool mom mentioned that her kindergartner was using it. Keep reading for our honest ABCmouse review. I am so disappointed I hadn’t found it when my son was younger. She has been using it for a couple of months with her daughter and absolutely loves it….

As the summer is now upon us, I thought it would be a perfect time to do some arts and crafts with these chalk markers. We are not particularly arty, in fact, I am absolutely terrible at drawing. I mean, really bad! I know I am not the only one that struggles coming up with…

Staccups the new game from University Games certainly get the competitive juices flowing in our household!
