Whether you are going to the Beaches, fantasy Island, amusement parks, landmarks or just some regular outdoor activities, there are some considerations and steps you need to keep in mind if you want to create fun memories for you and your families. As a grownup, you need to take as many responsibilities as you can, and you need to take the following steps;

#1: Be mindful of the physical limitations that will happen when you go on vacation with family members

Every member of the family wants to explore vacation destinations, whether the monuments, shopping centers, cinemas, restaurants and many other outdoor activities. You must be prepared to incorporate everyone’s needs, hence have a special timetable when everyone will be at the Beaches, and also when everyone will indulge in their preferred activities. If your kids will like to go to the amusement park, for instance, you may want to schedule lunchtime around that and eat at a nearby restaurant. Make sure you are flexible with timing and incorporate everyone’s needs and plans in the vacation. Your ability to remain flexible and multi-tasking will determine how well you are able to incorporate everyone into your plans.

#2: Create enough space to accommodate everyone

The best family vacation destinations are usually kid friendly getaways where there is sufficient space to accommodate all kids’ activities. Regardless of how much you love your family members, you wouldn’t want to spend every moment of a vacation with them because everyone will like to have a little bit of “me time”, they want to record their own personal videos and take their own pictures. You don’t have to get everybody to take part in the same activities, there are times when some family members want to explore the beaches and some want to hike, you just have to show some respect to everyone’s interpretation of a vacation.

You can choose a vacation rental instead of hotel accommodation because vacation rentals do have more spaces, such vacation rentals also provide lots of amenities, including grills, jacuzzi, and saunas.

#3: Involve other family members in your planning

Whether you are looking for kid friendly getaways or a fishing vacation experience, you just have to get everyone involved, especially if your family members are traveling with you. According to a Research study, over 52% of kids usually believe that they can plan a vacation, much better than their parents. As a matter of fact, planning a vacation is an integral part of the vacation.

When your entire family members are involved in vacation planning, the whole itinerary will reflect all activities that your family members will be involved in. Kids usually take pride in the ownership of some key elements of vacation, they will be happy to dictate some of the places the whole family will explore during the vacation.

#4: Rent two cars and accommodation instead of one

If there are conflicts of interests on your vacation plan, then it will make more sense if you rent two vacation accommodation and two cars. When you rent two smaller cars instead of one, it will give you the much-needed flexibility to accommodate different interests and schedules. If your kids’ sleeping schedules are different from yours, you can have a bigger vacation rental or two rooms in the same hotel. This option is particularly good if you have teenage children who require little or no supervision.

#5: Stay connected

If you want to get all situation under control while you are on vacation with your family members, then you need to stay connected with them. Fortunately, modern smartphones do have numerous apps you can use to create family groups, this will help you send an emergency alert to other members of the family especially if they are grownups. If your family members have smartphones, make sure they install necessary apps that will keep you stay connected always even if you are at different locations during the vacation.

#6: Plan ahead

Whether you are traveling on a vacation alone or with your family members, you just have to plan way ahead. Becoming too pushy at the last minute will cost you a fortune, especially if you still have to book flights, accommodation and even tickets to some tourist attraction sites. There are special discounts offered for family vacation packages, only if you book early, likewise, you still have to search for kid-friendly accommodation, and pet-friendly accommodation, if you are traveling with pets.

If you don’t want to pay adult flight ticket fares for your kids, then you need to book early. Booking early will also give you the opportunity of choosing the ideal seating arrangement that will be more comfortable for you are the rest of the family.

In conclusion, traveling with members of your family is much fun, contrary to the belief by most people that it is very stressful. Traveling with your family and exploring all tourist attraction sites will create memories that will last for a lifetime, it will also give your children the opportunity to share their experiences with their friends and learn even more about people’s culture.

If you are like most people, you probably can’t stand the thought of drinking your coffee black. And you’re probably on the hunt for the best coffee creamer.

There are so many coffee creamers available for purchase that it can feel incredibly overwhelming trying to choose the best one. Here, we’ve listed some of the best coffee creamers you can find, with our top pick listed first.

Power Creamer

If you want a great tasting coffee creamer with zero carbs, look no further than PowerCreamer. With this product, you get all of the health benefits of no additives and carb-free without having to sacrifice on flavor. It is literally a win-win for any coffee drinker who enjoys a bit of flavor in their cup.

Power Creamer is offered in four tasty flavors including original, vanilla, cacao, and cinnamon so you can switch it up whenever you want and never get bored. While the flavor is one of the biggest benefits of this creamer, you might be surprised to know that it’s also one of the healthiest options you can find.

This line of coffee creams is both keto- and paleo-friendly and is free of soy, sugar, gluten, and preservatives. It is all-natural, shelf-stable, and carb-free. You really can’t go wrong with this choice, which is why it is our choice for best coffee creamer. Enjoy your cup of coffee without any additives or unnatural ingredients.

Dunkin’ Extra Creamer

If you are going for this type of creamer, you likely aren’t concerned with the level of sugar or fat you have in your diet. That is because you’ll be consuming 6 grams of sugar and 40 calories with every tablespoon! While it is surely full of flavor, you’ll taste that flavor at a great cost to your overall health.

Coffee-Mate French Vanilla

Coffee-Mate is a pretty standard choice. You hear and see their commercials everywhere. However, this isn’t the healthiest choice. In just one tablespoon of the French Vanilla version of this coffee creamer, you’ll be having 5 grams of sugar, 35 calories, and 1.5 grams of fat.

International Delight: Candy Bar

The candy bar flavors offered by International Delight’s coffee creamers might sound appealing. They have such options as Reese’s, Almond Joy, and Hershey’s. However, again, you’ll be enjoying all that sweetness at a great cost. In just one tablespoon, there are 35 calories and 6 grams of sugar.

Califia Farms Sweet Flavored Creamers

This is one of the healthier options on our list which is a bit sad given that you’ll still be taking in 20 calories and 3 grams of sugar per serving size. The creamer is almond milk-based and comes in Irish Cream, Mexican Cocoa and plain flavors.

Choosing a creamer

If you love your coffee, as most people do, you probably want to use a creamer that enhances the flavor. However, you want to do so without taking in too many calories and sugar. You certainly don’t want to be drinking all of one day’s worth of carbs, sugar and calories in a few cups of coffee a day. Finding the best coffee creamer for you likely means a low-carb, healthier option like you’ll find in Power Creamer.

A few years back, Mary and I focused on learning about our state, Georgia. It was a simple study which helped her learn a little more about the things Georgia has and some fun places to go. But this year for 6th grade, we're going to have a lot of fun learning about Georgia with Hewitt Homeschooling Resources and their Chronicles of State History Notebook. What I really love about the Chronicles of State History Notebook is that you can use any state you want and all the questions still pertain.


What really intrigued me was that I already used Hewitt Homeschooling Resources for our required testing for Georgia. They have the PASS test which is accepted in Georgia and I can administer it at home each year for her. So when I found out they have curriculum too, I was really excited!

The Chronicles of State History Notebook is just as it says; a binder that has pre-printed pages in it. It's best recommended for grades 3-8 and has 100 pages worth of questions, field trip pages and notebooking to help your child learn about their state! The notebook is made to help aid your child to organize reports, drawings, facts and even pictures into a binder. The outline of the binder is an entire course of state history, especially with the research they will be doing. Also in the front, it gives suggestions for other projects as well like making a state travel brochure.


The notebook is divided by subjects which are:

• Facts, Symbols, Emblems (e.g., state flower, tree, flag) 
• Geography, Population 
• Industries, Jobs 
• History, Government 
• Miscellaneous, Field Trips, Photographs

At the end of the binder, you also have a certificate of completion for your child as well which I love. Some of the activities inside include visiting the capital, creating a climate map, field trips to museums, interviewing residents, etc.



The entire binder is meant to be a course of state history and overall I am really impressed with it. I love all the suggestions for extra learning it has and I love how it's put together almost like a scrapbook. Mary and I scrapbook to save memories so this would be a great way to introduce your children to their state in a fun way. You can put pictures in from field trips, get information from books at the library, paste newspaper clippings, etc. There are also some blank pages as well for students to create something they might want to include in their binder.


And since the binder is portable and easy to take with you, you can also bring it along on field trips to record information. And there are pockets in the front and back inside covers so you can hold brochures or information given at places you visit too.

I think the Chronicles of State History Notebook from Hewitt Homeschooling Resources is an excellent resource to help kids learn as much about their state as possible. And I love how they can look back at it later on in years too. I am a firm believer that when you make learning fun and interactive, kids will learn better. And the Chronicles of State History Notebook is so fun, I want one for myself now!

Do you remember learning US History in school? In our school, we learned US History in 11th grade and I remember being fascinated. I loved learning about the early part of America and about all the wars, trials and tribulations this country went through. And I loved studying my textbook and taking the quizzes and tests too! But it was because my teacher made it fun and interesting. He made it like a story and that's how I love to learn. So I was thrilled to check out The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic with 200 Questions Set from Memoria Press for Mary. This will be her curriculum for 6th grade which is perfect since it's geared for middle schoolers coming out of elementary.




We have reviewed Memoria Press products in the past and I love their classical learning philosophy. They believe that wisdom and virtue are cultivated by studying liberal arts and the Great Books. With The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic with 200 Questions Set, Memoria Press combined the two-volume American history from H.A Guerber into one book for middle school study. This set is best for grades 5-8. This edition from Memoria Press does state that since the original was written years ago, that some of the events that were once considered pivotal to American History have now dulled in comparison to others with the passing of time.


The entire set contains:

•  Guerber’s The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic edited by Memoria Press into a 211 page book
• The teacher’s guide with facts, vocabulary, questions for each chapter, map-work, drawings, and more assignment suggestions 
• The student edition with 32 lessons with space for students to write definitions of vocabulary and answers for comprehension questions. 

The 200 Questions About American History Set includes:

• 200 Questions About American History Teacher Key 
• 200 Questions About American History Student Book 
• 200 Questions About American History 
• A set of flashcards

The 200 Questions About American History Set is a supplement to go along with The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic. Inside it will give you a weekly schedule and the recommended texts from the The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic book to answer questions from the drills and tests. What I really loved was that inside the student book, it will ask a question and it will give the chapter where the answer can be found. That is super helpful when you have a student that might skip over it by accident when they are searching the entire book for the answer.



For example, The 200 Questions About American History Set has for Week 1 to read Chapters 1-7 from The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic book and do drill questions 1-8. I really love this set because you can use the drills to help reinforce learning.

In The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & The Great Republic student book, you will have lessons that coorespond with certain chapters from Guerber’s The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic. For example, lesson 1 in  the student book starts with Facts to Know, Vocabulary that you need to define, Comprehension questions that you can answer by reading the selected chapters in the book and then Enrichment which includes map work, making a timeline and research. Inside the Teacher's Edition, you will find all the answers which is super helpful to any teacher! The tests for the students are found inside the Teacher's Edition.

You also get a set of flashcards that can be used to memorize important people and events in history. I love using flashcards!

Overall this entire set is amazing. I love how the book starts with finding American and ends with the Spanish American War. It tells history in order like a story and that really helps kids learn better in my opinion.

I plan to use this with Mary for 6th grade as her main history program. I can't wait to see how much we learn through the year too!
