Free Kids Music LEGAL

I think I posted this website months and months ago with free mp3 music files for kids. They just did an update on May 20, so check out the new music.

Individual Horizon Milks Cheap!

My son loves to drink chocolate milk at school for lunch, but I could not think of him drinking the chocolate milk the school provides... it is so sweet! And really, he does not like the taste. I buy the 3 pack of milk when we travel or go to Disney, but I did not think of buying them for school. Then I found them on Amazon- not only can I buy the pack of 18, but I can get them at a 15% discount when I use the subscribe and save option. When you log onto Amazon for Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18), click on the Subscribe and Save feature and choose how often you want the 18 pack delivered. Then subscribe and get 15% off. That makes the milk $.91 a piece- much cheaper than I can even get at Walmart! And I know he is getting good milk for lunch (and it does not have to be refrigerated!)

Amazon has lots of subscribe and save items that can save you money and get free shipping. We get the following and get 15% off:
Kashi GOLEAN Bar, Crunchy! Chocolate Almond, 1.59-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)
Cascadian Farms Organic Chewy Granola Bar, Chocolate Chip, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)
Back To Nature Apple Juice, 10-Count, 6.75-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 4)
And you can cancel the subscriptions at any time!

UP- Activities and Trailer

My kids watch the trailer for UP a few times tonight! They cannot wait until they get to go see it (I get to see it twice this next week on a field trip for 7th graders). Then my kindergartner printed the adventure book and cut and paste it all together. There are more printable pages at the Disney site.

BTW- I then got hooked on taking a few of the Disney quizzes--- too funny!

Which Disney mom are you? (I was the mom dog on the dalmatians movie...????)
Should your family live in Fantasyland? (mine was in Adventure land... again ????)
And which celebrity mom are you? (I was Reese Whitherspoon... I can see that!)

Experience New Things

Recently we were able to attend an air fest at the near by Air Force base. While my little one was actually able to sleep through some of those loud planes, my kindergartner was fascinated with the interior of all those large military planes. It was a great new experience, plus it was free. Security was lots of fun, but that was the only difficulty- as it should be! We were on a military base! It seemed so much like 1950's family fun... we were all sitting around outside in our chairs enjoying the military display. Next time we will even bring a picnic.

The great part was seeing the Thunderbirds! We were all awe-struck!

Spring Break

We had a great time during Spring Break exploring Florida- at least central Florida and the east coast. We were able to go to Cape Canaveral and Disney during the week. It was not too hot, did not rain too often, and the crowds were not terrible (until Wednesday at Animal Kingdom). It was such a needed break from school!

Christmas Traditions: Having Their Own Tree

One of our new Christmas traditions is allowing the kids to have a Christmas tree in their room. Two years ago, we got them on clearance after Christmas. They are 3 feet tall. We bought them their own ornaments and allow them to use some of the family ornaments. They love decorating and redecorating them. Our daughter takes the ornaments back and forth from the living room... it is so sweet. We do have ornaments that are durable and can be moved. We would not do this with anything breakable or sentimental. Mostly, they are Disney ornaments and non breakable balls. The best part is that they love having their own tree and they love getting to decorate! It gets us all in the spirit!
