February 5, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Educational Games for 2-8 Year Olds

If you have some sky and space lovers in your house like I do then you will want to be sure that they have some basic sky and space equipment. I have scoured Amazon to bring you a list of some fun and educational items related to sky and space. I am hoping that your family will enjoy some of these items as much as my children have.

Sky and space educational items

Explore all things #Sky and #Space with this list of educational items for kids for February’s #NatureBookClub theme! #naturestudy

Check out the Nature Book Club Facebook Group!

  1. Basic Telescope– You do not need to spend a fortune on a really good telescope to encourage your young sky observer. Starting with a much simpler and cheaper telescope  will allow you to see if a larger investment is worth it down the road. Or you could take your family to an Observatory or Star Gazing event as well as check with your local library to see if they offer equipment to borrow.
  2. Binoculars– Many times during the year you can observe some items in the sky with a pair of binoculars. We own multiple pairs of binoculars and share with you how to pick a pair of binoculars for your child. 
  3. Solar System– A nice 3D solar system can bring learning about each planet a little more real to life for your child. 
  4. Space Station Play Set- We picked up a set many years ago when our teens were younger. It’s been played with by all four kids! You can choose from a simple toob with 12 items or a huge bucket with 60 pieces. 
  5. Books about Sky and Space- There’s a ton of great books both picture books and field guides so I dedicated an entire post to a list of sky and space books for kids.
  6. Constellation Flashcards– This unique tin holds the Qurious Space game that can be played by up to 18 people!
  7. Space Science Kit- The Magic School Bus offers a nice kit called The Secrets of Space for children ages 5-12.
  8. Women of NASA LEGO Set- If your child wants to learn about the women who have been a part of space history then this Ideas Women of NASA LEGO Set. 
  9. Field Guide- We own the National Audubon Society First Field Guide Night Sky edition.

I hope your family enjoys some of these sky and space educational items while exploring and learning about stars, planets and the history of space.

 

Link up your sky and space nature study post during the Nature Book Club on February 20-28!

October 18, 2018 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Cooler Autumn weather has got me in the hiking mood. Since the weather is colder I wanted to be sure I had the proper hiking gear to be able to enjoy being outdoors. I have joined a few groups to learn more about hiking and will share those with you in another post called Hiking for Beginners. I will also be sharing more about various hiking packs once I try those out.

Gift Ideas for Preschoolers

November 21, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Since my youngest is 4 years old and it’s his last year in preschool I thought a post about gift ideas for preschoolers would be a great idea. Many of the items in this gift ideas list we own or have had our eye on from a long time.

Preschool Gift Guide

Our most recent purchase was a small train table this Summer at a garage sale since Lil’ Red loves cars and trains much more then his older brothers. I didn’t want to pay full price for something he might outgrow in a few years since he is the youngest child. I also was looking for a smaller train table since our house is small.

Gift Ideas for Work at Home Moms

November 19, 2017 By Thaleia 5 Comments


Educational Games for 2-8 Year Olds

I didn’t always consider myself a Work at Home Mom but I do now that we depend on my income and the opportunities that blogging and blog coaching affords our family. It is far from glamorous and I do put in a lot of time and hours but the schedule is flexible and varied. With that being said what are gift ideas for work at home moms? Just because we are home more doesn’t mean we don’t need or want things, lol.

WAHM Gift Gudie

I know that it’s hard to come up with things unless I start putting in my Amazon Wishlist throughout the year so I poled some fellow WAHM’s to find out things they would give for gift ideas if they could only pick 3 things.

I would love a Large Dry Erase Wall Calendar for the wall behind my desk which then means I have to be sure to buy enough dry erase markers and dry erase eraser in my favorite colors to keep my planning all organized! On my desk I usually have some sort of desk blotter calendar or simple AT-A-GLANCE Yearly Calendar which helps me keep track of impromptu homeschool events and deadlines.

Being off the computer and learning is important so reading a good book like Balanced: Finding Center as a Work-at-Home Mom would be a nice gift to consider.

Every beverage drinking mom needs a good mug or tumbler to drink her favorite beverage in. It doesn’t have to be old and ugly so why not pick up something cute with a little inspirational quote on it?

If your office space is located away from the kitchen then a Coffee Mug Warmer is a great item to have. I actually own two and use one for candles and the other for keeping beverages warm. During the Summer it doubles as a way to infuse oil with herbs. Be sure to shop DaySpring’s $5 Mug Sale 11/21 to 12/2!

I have found that working on the PC has some draw backs like wrist and arm pain. A vertical mouse helps relief some of the strain from a lot of right clicking as does a mouse pad with wrist support.

My favorite pens to write with while brainstorming are R.S.V.P. Ballpoint Pens! I was first introduced to them about a decade ago during a MOPS meeting where every mom received a pen that had a scripture added into the barrel. I have been using R.S.V.P pens ever since!

Since I am a blog coach and social media manager I need tools that deal with graphic design like PicMonkey for photo editing and ways to schedule social shares like Buffer and Hootsuite.

I love using my noise canceling headphones to listen to music or podcasts while I work. If you need to make phones calls then a pair of earbuds with Built-in Microphone would do the trick. 

A subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited with a 30-Day Free Trial or Amazon Prime Music would be a nice gift to give when you do not know what music the WAHM on your list prefers to listen to.

If you are a work at home mom or know of a WAHM who’s family could benefit from this list please share this on Pinterest or Facebook!

Gift Ideas for Essential Oil Users

November 15, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Essential oils have been all the rage over the last decade and seem to be growing in popularity and use. I bet that you know more then one person that loves essential oils. You may even need to buy a gift or two related to essential oils. I know that each person has their own preference as to what company their oils are bought from so why not find a nice accessory for the essential oil user on your gift list?

Essential Oil Storage Ideas

I am creating this list from personal desire and some experience with similar products. We have been using essential oils for a handful of years with great success and love using Edens Garden as the main source for our oils. I have gotten quite the collection of bottles so I know that a storage tray or essential oils wooden box would be a nice gift. If the person on your list likes to take their oils with them them a hard shell carrying case or mini carrying case that could easily slip into a purse or backpack would be appreciated.
