Dressing the Kids for School Without Breaking the Wallet

This post may contain sponsored material.

Many schools have implemented the uniform system so that their students do not compete. The uniform system eases the financial burden for parents, and it cuts down on cases of teasing and bullying of children who do not fit in with the latest fashion trends. Some schools have not adopted the uniform system, however. Some parents still have to try their best to keep their children looking presentable and trendy without breaking their wallets. The following are some tips for getting school clothes for the children on a budget:

Visit Discount Department Stores and Sites
Discount department stores are facilities that offer consumer’s prices that are lower than the prices of merchandise at most places. Walmart is an example of a discount department store. A parent can purchase a wealth of shirts and pants from that store for the children. Sneaker King is an example of a discount shoe store. Parents can purchase some amazing kids New Balance sneakers from that store.

Kids love summer because they get all the time in the world to just enjoy being a kid. They may not realize it yet, but they’ll have very few times in their life when they can just do whatever they want for a whole season!

However, kids being out of school also means unsupervised time where they can get in trouble or simply be unproductive. While a little unproductive fun is okay, kids need outlets that are both exciting and beneficial to their growth. That’s where you and your planning as a parent comes in to play.

Use this guide to help you plan great activities for your children this summer.

The Long-Term Benefits of Teaching Kids Good Dental Habits

This is a sponsored post.

Most parents recognize the importance of teaching their kids to brush their teeth at least twice a day. They know that this can help to prevent their children from getting cavities. Many parents are discovering that there are several other benefits of teaching their kids how to maintain the health of their teeth. Check out a few examples.

Establishing a Lifetime Habit

When parents teach their kids about brushing their teeth each day, they are helping their children to establish a long-term habit. Young children who are taught to brush their teeth at least twice a day are more likely to continue the habit into their teen years and beyond. Kids who brush and floss their teeth everyday are also more likely to continue to see their dentist each year as they grow older. This is especially true if their parents are practicing healthy dental habits and seeing their dentist on a regular basis for checkups. Kool Smiles is one example of a dentist’s office dedicated to teaching kids the importance of practicing good dental habits.

Let Your Kid Explore the Universe with a Space Scouts Monthly Subscription

Product was given to me by Space Scouts in order to post my honest opinion.

My son is fascinated by space right now. He loves learning about the solar system and everything that it involves. We recently got replicas of the planets and have them hanging in our kid’s room. My husband even got creative and distanced them correctly from the sun and each other to give my kids the idea of how it is really set up in our solar system.

Since my son loves science and space, I knew he would enjoy Space Scouts, a monthly subscription club for kids. Each month your child will explore a new place in space – stepping into the worlds of space exploration, space science, and astronomy. Space Scouts is designed to engage your child in fun learning activities, hands-on discovery, and exciting challenges. Your child gets to join Roxy and Jett as they scout about the galaxy through learning adventures aimed at discovering the wonders of the universe!

Annedroids Inspires Creativity During National Recycling Week

My kids love creating! I am impressed with their imagination to take a blank canvas and turn it into something unique that represents their personality. My kids were recently inspired by the Annedroids to create “things” out of nothing.

is Amazon Studios’ third original kids series. It can be watched on Prime Instant Video. This science based action series, created by JJ Johnson, follows three kids as they immerse themselves in the world of science. This show inspires kids to creatively think. Amazon’s goal is to inspire lifelong learners and provide children with the skills that will help them find personal and professional satisfaction in their future.

Annedroids is a live-action adventure series about “Anne,” a young female scientist, her human friends and their android assistants, and the amazing scientific discoveries they make while undertaking the biggest experiment of them all: growing up. The series spotlights, through trial and error, how science, technology, engineering, the arts and math (STEM) can inspire children to do great things.

Personalized Kids Gifts for the Holidays from I See Me! {+Free Shipping Code}

Product was given to me by I See Me in order to post my honest opinion.

As a child while on vacations, I would always search for souvenirs with my name on them. Like license plate key chains, ornaments, and more. Since my parents decided to spell my name B-R-I-T-T-N-E-Y, instead of the more accepted form B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y, I was always bummed when I couldn’t find my name spelled correctly. As a kid, seeing our name on something makes us feel special.

I See Me! took that very same idea and created a company out of it. Children everywhere can have personalized gifts now, with their name spelled just like it is! What is even better, is that I See Me doesn’t just write your name on a keychain, they add you to stories and coloring books, as well as personalize puzzles, lunch boxes, stickers, and growth charts.

I See Me! has a collection of books you can personalize with a name and inscription, and even add a picture of your child. Not only is your child made the main character with their name throughout the whole book, some books include their picture in the drawings.
