A Mom’s Trip Down Memory Lane Of Toys For 3 Years Olds
As we explore our new neighborhood, I see a lot of little preschoolers. This got me thinking about all the fun toys my kids played with at this age. My mind goes into overdrive each and everyday thinking of all the favorite toys for 3 years olds. And of course, I had to ask my kids what their favorite toys were at age 3. I’m not sure if they really remembered or not, but they did chime in.

The iPhone Case Saved My Child
I have a tween daughter. If you have a tween son or daughter, I’m sure you understand the pain. And if you have a female tween you CAN REALLY relate. This child of mine is always complaining about not having easy access to her money at school or when she’s out and about. I found a great iPhone case for tweens and adults. The first day of middle school was last school year for my home. We were all excited and a bit nervous for The Softball Chef. But, her personality is just chill and low key. No worries in the world for her, well maybe an 89 on a…

Teaching Kids About Money With The Moonjar – Carlos Made It To Hawaii
There’s nothing like a smile on a child’s face when they’ve reached a goal. The Softball Chef, Equestrian Girl Forever and Fashion Diva Girl all had the biggest smile the day we said, “yes, Carlos will be joining us in Hawaii.” No, I wasn’t going to actually leave him, but we told the girls they had to help pay the fees to ship him here. The agreement was half. When families PCS (military move) there are costs associated with moving pets that must come out of our own pockets. There is also a process that happens depending on the country (in this case, we remained within the US, but Hawaii has…

I Was Scared, Shocked, and Unsure But None Of That Mattered…
MomJonz is excited to have a guest blogger. A DAD! Yes, let’s hear from Joel about his adventure into parenthood. Joel is a motivator, and I must say that he makes me rethink my purpose in life often. I’m 34 years old and for the…well…countless amount of times, I have a confession to make. Just like Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, I am a father. This may not come as a shock to you but for someone who, up until his 30th birthday was still unsure as to whether or not he wanted to be one, it is a shock.

One Sure Way I Make Money While Shopping Online
My family LOVES shopping online. After we moved to Japan a few years ago, we kind of relied on it A LOT! I had to find a way to save money while shopping online cause, of course, I still wanted to put a few coins back in my pocket. So, I found a way to MAKE money while shopping online. Yeah, I saved it more so than making it, but a paycheck equals payday to me. 🙂

Teresa The Motorized Bot Kit
When I first saw KitHub’s Motorized Bot, I had to check it out. This was the perfect opportunity to have my children build a motorized robot kit. My eldest daughter is in STEM Academy in our county school district. It’s a fantastic program where kids can apply beginning in 4th grade. They accept 48 children from applicants from all around the county. The students must maintain a certain GPA (3.0) to continue in the program. Being that we are a military family, we moved to the area during the middle of her 5th-grade year.
