A Family Vacation to New York: Things To See and Do

new york city

Planning a family vacation to The Big Apple? With plenty to see and do for all ages you’ll be spoiled for choice. A general itinerary of the things you hope to get through can be helpful to make the best use of your time. Here are just a few of the attractions that should be on your list!

Children’s Museum of Manhattan

The Children’s Museum of Manhattan features five floors of interactive literature, science, media and art exhibits. There are various programs, workshops and lots of things to do and see. There’s even a section for under fives, as well as things to do right up to teens. An ideal attraction to visit as a family and something you’re all sure to enjoy.

Broadway Theater

Seeing an epic Broadway show is a must while you’re in New York. There are over forty professional theaters to choose from, offering a selection of incredible world class shows. You could see Aladdin, Matilda, Wicked, The Lion King and much more. Vibrant, colorful and exciting, it’s the perfect family evening out in New York. You could consider booking your Broadway tickets in advance as shows can fill up quickly.

Highline Park and Walking Path

This stunning elevated park would make a fantastic family afternoon out in New York. There are often events on for kids including things like crafts, face painting, scavenger hunts and live performances. If you fancy a break from the big, bustling city on your vacation, a trip to the park is always good. Especially when it’s one that’s this awesome.

American Girl Cafe

There’s family dining aplenty in New York, but one quirky place to consider is American Girl Cafe. Your children can bring their American Girl dolls who will be given their own seat at the table, where you’re able to have fun tea-party style lunch. It’s something entirely different, and especially great if you have a lover of American Girl dolls in the family. As well as just dining you can choose hairstyles, piercings and pampering services for the dolls. Then watch as the looks are created in front of you by expert stylists. There’s even a station where you can design clothing items. A dream experience for a little girl (or boy!) who is into this kind of thing.

Dylans Candy Bar

Dylan’s Candy Bar features a whopping three floors of candy treats, pretty much most children’s idea of heaven! It’s fun, brightly colored and exciting to walk around as well as offering a ton of variety if you’re looking to buy some sweet treats. A fantastic place to buy souvenirs for your trip, but also an experience within itself that kids will love. There are often events and things on so have a look before your trip to work out the best time to visit. Dylans Candy Bar has been successful in a number of states, but New York is the flagship store, so you get to see where it all began.

Have you ever been on a family vacation to New York? What was your favorite thing about the trip?

We all wish we could eat a little better and pack a bit more into our days. This is especially true now that school has started. Whether you are a stay at home parent trying to keep up with daily activities or  juggling work and home life, it always seems like proper nutrition and getting things done quickly are at odds with one another. This can be true, but there are ways to keep yourself nutritionally well and fit and still being on the go.

Have you tried LALA yogurt smoothies? We have all heard the health benefits of yogurt, including protein, calcium, and Vitamins A & D. It has an ability to boost not only our digestive system but also our immune system, and keep our bodies in shape, but sometimes it’s just easier to take it to go. LALA yogurt smoothies are the perfect way to keep active and enjoy the wonderful benefits and taste of yogurt with active cultures.

LALA yogurt

Personally, our home always has yogurt in it, in every form. Everyone loves yogurt, especially smoothies. We love the flavor, the health benefits, and of course the mobility of the yogurt smoothies. LALA  Yogurt smoothies are perfect for those mornings that seem to be progressing so slowly the kids seem to be moving in reverse, where breakfast consists of anything that can be grabbed and eaten quickly. LALA Yogurt smoothies are also perfect for road trips where that first stop is better off being a bathroom break then a breakfast stop. It is also more nutritionally sound and better for you then many other on the go foods.

LALA yogurt smoothies are available nationwide at a store near you (and if not, then ask for them). You’d be surprised how quickly a product shows up on your store shelves if you ask for it.

About The Moodsters

The Moodsters is a first-of-its-kind brand created to educate, entertain, and enhance the social and emotional development of children.

Based on decades of research showing that emotional learning can have a lifelong positive effect on children’s behavior, school success, ability to develop empathy, and physical and emotional well-being, the Moodsters brand is at the forefront of a new emotional intelligence and wellness category for children.
Denise Daniels, CEO & Founder of JellyJam Entertainment, developed the Moodsters. Daniels is a Peabody award-winning broadcast journalist, parenting and child development expert and author who specializes in the social and emotional development of children.

The Moodsters is debuting the launch of two new emotional intelligence (EQ) teaching tools for kids: The Moodsters Feelings Notebook & Feelings Crayon Set and The Moodsters Talking Plush and Activity Book assortment.

The Moodsters Feelings Notebook & Feelings Crayon Set

The Moodsters Feelings Notebook and Feelings Crayons

The Moodsters Feelings Notebook & Feelings Crayon Set is a new tool to help children express what they are feeling through creative play. The set consists of five jumbo Feelings Crayons, each representing a different emotion (happy, sad, loving, angry, and afraid), and an accompanying 50-page Feelings Notebook in which kids can draw and color their feelings. The Notebook also offers a unique Moodster strategy for handling each key emotion.

The Moodsters Talking Plush and Activity Book assortment

The Moodsters Plush and Activity Book Set

Moodsters Talking Plush Characters represent the five Moodsters detectives, who personify the emotions that all children experience in their everyday lives: happiness (Coz), love (Lolly), fear (Quigly), anger (Razzy), and sadness (Snorf). Each plush character articulates sayings and suggestions specific to the emotions they represent, and each comes with a 32-page activity book that helps kids learn about emotions while they’re having fun.

The Moodsters Meet The Moodsters Moodsters Meter

The Moodster Meter™ is an electronic “feelings thermometer” with character voices that helps little ones learn a vocabulary for their feelings so they can express their emotions. Children move the arrow to the Moodster that represents how they are feeling, opening the door for calm communication about emotions. Includes 32-page “Meet The Moodsters” storybook.
The Moodsters A Time to be Kind Mirror

The Moodster Mirror is an electronic talking mirror to help kids learn to recognize their feelings and make the connection between feelings on the inside and facial expressions on the outside. Kids make a happy, sad, angry, scared, or loving face into the Moodster Mirror, and they are able to see what these feelings look like to others. Includes 32-page storybook, “A Time to Be Kind,” a heartwarming story that explores the meaning of friendship.

The Moodsters The Scary Sleepover with Flashlight

The Feelings Flashlight™ is an electronic talking flashlight that features the five Moodsters, Coz, Lolly, Quigly, Razzy and Snorf. Features character sayings and fun play activities so kids can explore their feelings, helping them to process and understand their emotions. Shining a light on feelings has never been easier or more fun than with The Moodsters! Includes 32-page storybook, “The Scary Sleepover”, to take the “scary” out of bedtime.

Silly Aquatic Fun in Flip Diving

diving app

If your kids aren’t playing Flip Diving yet, they’ll probably start soon. Flip Diving is an over-the-top sports game with wild characters, tricks, and locations. It has one-button controls that are easy enough for very young children to understand. The difficulty increases as you progress, challenging older kids and adult players, too. Let’s look at the best aspects of this #1 app, now available on Poki.

From the very beginning, it’s clear that Flip Diving is kid-friendly. When playing for the first time, a warning message appears, educating gamers not to try any of the dangerous diving stunts. The only way to start the game is by reading and acknowledging the disclaimer. As a parent, this tells me that the developers aren’t showcasing reckless violence. Instead, they’re cautioning players before allowing them to enjoy a fun game that includes dangerous activities (e.g. cliff-diving into a lake).

The first round includes a walkthrough tutorial, which teaches players how to dive. Thanks to the simplicity of this tutorial, my children were able to grasp the controls instantly. All you have to do is click your mouse button to leap off of the cliff. Then, click and hold to flip mid-air. Release the button to straighten out your diver and enter the water with grace. It sounds simple because it is simple. But, just knowing how to dive is hardly half the battle.

The real challenge lies within timing. In Flip Diving, timing is absolutely everything. The moment you choose to jump will determine the initial angle and power. Then, when and how long you flip (or perform another trick) affects your momentum. If you straighten out at a less-than-perfect time, you could bellyflop or backflop, and lose points. Knowing how to time each move is what makes one player better than another. My oldest learned pretty quickly, and he mastered the Backflip Pike. Different moves require different timing, so it’s important to keep learning and adjusting while you play.

My kids truly enjoy Flip Diving because of its many characters and locations. There are really funny divers, like Big Dave and Teddy. There are also serious characters with unique attributes, such as Girl Diver and Basketball Diver. Every character looks and moves differently, which makes players want to unlock every single one. The environments are also wildly unique, ranging from a towering cliff to an ominous cave. Additional levels include special diving locations. How would you like to leap into the water from a hot air balloon? Or perhaps you’d like to perform amazing flips after swinging from a rope in the sky? These outlandish levels are super fun for everyone in our family.

In addition to the multitude of divers and environments, Flip Diving also includes over 22 tricks. These range from simple moves (e.g. Cannonball!) to advanced (e.g. Gainer Backflip Pike). Even if you didn’t watch the Summer Olympics, I bet you’ll have fun playing Flip Diving. Go ahead and compete with your young ones in the greatest arcade-sports title of 2016!

Accell Power Solutions

surge protector

With great electronics comes great power consumption.  Or something along those lines, or maybe it was something about power and responsibility.  Either way, as your living conditions come into the digital age, your power consumption will also come of age.  From power strips and 3 prong adapters to the more modern power centers and powersquids, you are going to need an upgrade.  It is time to see what you can do to get the most from your electricity and outlets.  Accell make this easy with a line of new user friendly consumer products including the Original Powersquid, which looks a lot like a beast from the deep with 5 dangling extension adapters for your power needs.

It may look odd, but in terms of practicality, it is very useful.  The powersquid acts like your well known power strip, but instead of a space inefficient strip of 5 outlets there are 5 outlets which dangle from below the body which gives you 600 joules of surge protection.  It supports 120 volts, 15 Amps, and 1800 Watts, and includes a 5 year $100,000 connected equipment limited warranty.  This squid is perfect for those bulky power transformers that are a hard fit for straight line power strips. This is the perfect addition to any dorm room, computer desk, or entertainment center.

surge protector

Next up is the Powrmid, which is a power center and surge protector USB charging station. It is great for desks and under desk areas, where outlets are a must but space is a commodity.  The powrmid has 6 outlets and 2 USB ports which can be used for charging any of your usb devices including cell phones and personal electronics.  The outlets themselves are set up in such a way that bulky cables are easy to plug in safely including adapters and transformers. The powrmid also supposed up to 1080 joules and has an illuminated power switch making it easy to turn on and off in low light scenarios.

The Powersquid is available for $24.99 from Accell and the Powrmid is also available from Accell for $24.99 with USB chargers or you can get it without.  No matter which you choose, all of these products make for a cleaner easier electronic usage experience.

Desirable Destinations: Exploring Phuket

Whether you are considering taking a long weekend or a trip that lasts a little longer, you should consider Phuket for your next travel destination. Travezl Phuket Tours will cover all the hotspots that you could possibly want to see, but here is a list of some of the things you simply cannot miss while you’re there.

Phuket is a stunning island of Thailand and has a fantastic nightlife. Plus, it has some fantastic all inclusive resorts, so you can party your nights away and then enjoy a long sleep on the beach when you’re too tired to go on!
1.The temples

As the main religion in Phuket is buddhism, there are a number of beautiful temples worth visiting including The Big Buddha which is a 45 metre tall statue that overlooks much of the island. These temples are often small but always welcoming, and many of them have free screenings of movies, usually of the kung fu persuasion!

     2. The Beaches

Phuket boasts 36 beaches, and most of them are as stunning as you’d expect. What more do you need on a vacation than endless amounts of sand, sun and surf?

If you manage to get bored of all that, the beachside resorts have you covered with lavish restaurants, bars and full spa facilities! So, if you just want to spend your days being pampered, massaged and beautified, that is a perfectly valid option!

The beaches of Phuket also provide breathtaking snorkeling, the crystal blue and green waters just begging to be explored. Set aside a whole afternoon and just get lost in a different kind of paradise, that is still just a hop skip and a jump away from your resort.

     3. The Nightlife

Phuket is well equipped for those who live to party, and there are numerous bars and nightclubs around every corner! You can choose to party at any number of places, there are clubs, plenty of bars, and every kind of theatrics you can think of. There are shows of actors, performers, elephants with acrobats and a number of ladyboy shows. If you happen to be in Phuket for any of the three annual festivals, the place can become even more exciting than it already was.

     4. The Rainforest and Limestone Cliffs

If you need to get out of direct sunlight for a while, you should take some time to explore the mangroves. It’s often hard to believe you are still in the same place once you get away from the noise of the beaches and crowds. It becomes quiet, the air gets just a little thicker and instead of waves you hear the trees and the birds talking to each other. Phuket does so many things well, but sometimes you just can’t beat what nature has already been doing for thousands of years.

    5. Don’t Miss These Destinations!

Fantasea Park is a shopping and adventure park hotspot with fair games all year round. The park boasts shows and elephant rides, just two of the many things that make it a really exciting and colourful place to be. If you like goofy museums and tourist attractions, you should definitely hit up the Trick Eye Museum and the Inverted House. These destinations are great fun for the whole family and provide a host of great photo opportunities! If you don’t mind getting a little roughed up, Phuket also has white water rafting (which is self explanatory) and zorbing (which is not)! Zorbing is a great activity where one or two people can get inside a giant inflated plastic ball with a little water in it and run down a giant grassy hill a few times!   

Phuket has the activities and destinations for any kind of traveler and is well worth taking some time to explore!

Teacher Rewards Kits at Walmart #TeacherRewardsKit

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facility this review. All opinions are my own and honest.

P60816-185351[1]

The school year is coming upon us very quickly.  As such, its time to think about how to make this year a a special one.  With the right tools for learning and the right mind set, your child will do wonders in whatever grade they are entering from Pre-K onward.  This year, show your child’s new teacher how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication with a little something for the classroom.

walmart

Long gone are the days of giving the teacher an apple.  These days, we all know teachers spend a ton out of pocket, so why not give them something they will use on a regular basis. Check out the Teachers Rewards Kit from American Scholar.  This kit includes 1,565, rewards,  60 award certificates, 300 notecards, 10 sticker pages each of 880 stickers and 240 stickers, and 75 bookmarks.  These would make great prizes for the top of the class students or as just a special surprise for a well behaved class.  What I think will really stand out in the gift are the award certificates which can be customized to each recipient for a particular achievement.  These aren’t big huge prizes, but are good to show you recognize their hard work and the effort the student has put forth in class.

P60816-185421[1]

This kit is perfect for teachers of any subject from multi discipline studies to physical fitness and art.  All around, this would be a great way to make a good first impression on a new teacher as well.  The best part of this kit is its cost it is at the $10 price point, so it is perfect to pick up along with other school supplies at Walmart during those back to school shopping trips.
