One great thing about garages is that they are not solely made to just hold your cars and other riding equipment. You can use them as an optimal space for your kids to have fun, particularly the teenage ones because most of their generation craves an outlet to explore their skills, creativity and talents.

This spring break, our family headed to Universal Studios Hollywood for our first time, and I can comfortably say it will be our last. While we enjoyed ourselves, we found the lines to be too long, and there wasn’t that much to do. The few rides they had were mostly simulators (note: anyone who gets motion sick easily should probably not go. My mom and aunt get nauseous on spinning rides and boats, so they were done with most of the rides pretty quickly. Even the Studio Tour included several 3D simulators that shook us around). Here are some nuggets of wisdom we can pass on after visiting the park.

This post offers an iD Tech discount code for summer 2017 at the bottom. Read why you should consider iD Tech this summer.
Last year we signed my son up for a computer game programming day camp at a community college. It’s an understatement to say that he was bored and frustrated by the inferior level of education and experience in general. A friend of mine told me about her son’s positive experience at iD Tech camp, one of the few camps her son really liked and was excited to return to. He’s a really smart kid and doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Her recommendation counted for a lot, so when my son was looking into week-long summer camp options, iD Tech came to mind.

When my kids were born, I printed out their baby announcements on special vellum paper, attaching it to card stock with ribbon and then sending them out to friends and family. This was not a good project for a new mom. It was time consuming and required my husband bringing home his office cutting device, standing over the printer feeding in the vellum, and then ordering new ink when I ran out. In decade-plus that’s passed since then, there are so many better options for designing and ordering beautiful announcements online, at a very reasonable cost.
We get our photo holiday cards online. We get customized thank you notes online. We’ve gotten birthday invitations online.
So when it was time to order my son’s bar mitzvah invitations, did I call to an invitation person? Continue reading “Customized Invitations and Announcements – Endless Options from BasicInvite.com”
