Mummies: Secrets from the Tomb
I love history. And my children are quite interested in happenings of the past, too, so it’s turning out that we make a pretty good team of explorers. So this year as part of our social studies, I purchased the Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. Story of the World comes in four volumes: Ancient Times, The Middle Ages, Early Modern Times, and the Modern Age. We started at the beginning with Ancient times and kicked things off with cavemen. Recently though, we’ve been finishing up our lessons about Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs. I happened to check the website for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles…

Adventures in the Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan
During our visit to Jordan, we went on one of the most memorable journeys of my life – an overnight trip to the Wadi Rum desert. It was a two-hour drive from Petra, where we had made our home base for 2 weeks, to Wadi Rum.

We then met the Bedouin guide who would drive us through the mystical desert all day and the later to our tent where we would spend the night. As we ventured on our journey in…

My goal was to not fall or break anything and I succeeded! As Borat would say “Great Success!” Even if you haven’t skied in awhile, it really is just like riding a bike. You pick it…

Knott’s Berry Farm Offers Affordable Fun!
Yesterday our family spent the New Year’s Eve at Knott’s Berry Farm and had so much fun enjoying the sights and sounds that this family-friendly amusement park offers. From the Camp Snoopy to the more adventurous rides for daredevils (my daughter) they really have so much to offer. I like that Knott’s Berry Farm is really affordable for families and that they offer 6 easy monthly payment plans for the Season Passes. They offer live entertainment, family-friendly rides, thrill rides, great food throughout the park and shopping. It is a great place to visit throughout the year. Here are some of our favorite things to do at the park: Visit…
