Make Learning Fun With National Geographic

tabbyspantry

We got these awesome National Geographic toys free in exchange for an honest review.  Al opinions are our own.

 

We are still doing the at home learning for know.  We are doing it a little different because online all day does not work for our little guy.  I sill want him learning, but I also want him to have some fun.  The National Geographic Stem toys are perfect for a fun day of learning.

The Light Up Sky Rocket is great for a little physics lesson.  This was also easy for my little guy to use.  Just stomp on the base and watch it go.  Of course there is a little more to that, but little guy likes to learn step by step.  I love that we can use this over and over again and we can learn a little something new every time with the rocket learning guide that comes with it.

The Glow In The Dark Marble Run was also a blast for little guy.  Best part this comes is 3 different sizes so no matter what level your little builder is they have the perfect set for you.  I love that you can also buy another set of the marbles.  I know that my son is going to keep them all and I can have a few to play with again next time we play.

Don’t forget to check out all the deals they are having on Amazon prime Day 🙂

I have been a huge fan of Loot Crate for years.  As a special present a few years ago my hubby got me the Wizarding World box for a year, I was so excited every time a box showed up.  I got so many awesome items I would have never found before if it was not for this awesome box.

They are so much more then just the Wizarding World they have a whole lone of boxes you can subscribe to.  They even release special addition boxes that you will not want to miss.  The special edition boxes sell out fast make sure to buy them quick when you see them.

We got this welcome box with some of w few awesome things from different boxes and I love them all.  From Lord Of The Rings, to Gremlins they have everything.  When I first opened it up I saw the Jaws Drain Stopper first and I knew I was in love.  Jaws is one of my all time favorite movies.

We got these awesome slippers free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are our own.

 

When winter comes I need a good pair of shoes.  I am on my feet all day.  I am always looking for a pair of shoes I can wear with any outfit but also be comfy in.  The right shoes makes all the difference and I have found that I love Time Slippers.  I wore out the pair I got last year so I was so excited to work with them again.

This year I picked a lower shoe and I love them.  The look is sleek and easy to match with any outfit.  I have been looking for a great comfy pair of blue shoes to go with my Pokemon outfits for years.  When I saw these I went nuts. They are perfect.

The Woman’s Low-Top Slippers are flexible and easy to sip right on.  Now a little about these awesome Time Slippers.  I wear these all days I can wear them comfortable around the house or even for a trip outside.  The soles are strong yet flexible.  There are no hard sides.  Which I love it means I never had to break them in.  They were comfy and fit perfect from the first time I put them on.  They breath great my feet are not cold and not sweating all day.

If you are looking for an awesome pair of shoes for a gift this holiday season you can not go wrong with Time Slippers.

“Taking a few minutes or seconds to calm down during a busy day has a huge effect on our mental and physical well-being. We’re making it easier to find that time by creating comfort in-between your everyday events.

We created a hybrid slipper designed to keep you comfortable in transition. From day to night. From home to the office. From city to city – we make slippers for the slow moments that connect the rest of your life, so when you get there you’ll be calm, collected, and comfortable. This is the philosophy that’s infused into every aspect of what we do. From stretch laces and flexible outsoles to a plush wool lining and yoga mat insoles.”

5 Of the Biggest Questions About Releasing Butterflies Answered

tabbyspantry

 

In a world that seems crazier by the day with bigger, bolder & more lavish events taking place across the United States, it can feel a bit hard to stand out from the crowd. Still, we think that we have a unique way you can celebrate an event, a peaceful and quiet release of butterflies to mark the occasion.

 

Cloverlawn Butterflies has a wide range of butterfly release packages for various occasions such as weddings, funerals & memorials. Releasing butterflies is a much-loved activity for many special occasions such as proms, weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, and many more reflective occasions such as funerals and memorial services.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

If you’re looking for something different for your event, something that isn’t loud or glitzy, a butterfly release from Cloverlawn Butterflies may be just the thing, but we know you’ve got some questions, so we’ve pulled together the five most asked questions about releasing butterflies and answered them right here for you!

When Should Butterflies Be Released?

 

Releasing butterflies is a beautiful spectacle and is best enjoyed during the daytime and daylight hours. Butterflies should be released outdoors, and in dry weather with temperatures of around 65-70 degrees.

 

Why Are Butterflies So Symbolic?

 

Butterflies have the unique ability to be a cross-cultural and cross-faith symbol of hope, love, and passing souls.

 

Many cultures and religions around the world associate butterflies with carrying messages to loves ones who have passed away and the Christian faiths associate the butterfly with the resurrection.

 

Without a doubt, the sight of hundreds of butterflies being released and floating off into the sky is breathtaking, and it really can feel like the moment of peace that is so well needed especially during the very hectic times many are experiencing.

How Long Can I Keep My Butterflies For?

 

Ideally, you should be releasing your butterflies on the day you get them. Cloverlawn Butterflies provides a date picker and tracked shipping for specific dates you plan to release live butterflies to avoid any wait time on releasing them. If you are releasing butterflies within a day or two of receiving them it won’t be too much of a problem as long as you follow the butterfly release instructions provided, but do not wait any longer than that.

 

Does Touching the Wing of a Butterfly Kill It?

It’s a misconception that touching the wing of a butterfly will kill it, but it’s certainly not recommended as butterfly wings are very delicate.

 

While they may feel powdery to the touch, butterfly wings are actually a type of scale. This means they are more durable and can dry after getting slightly wet, but some butterfly wing scales will come off if you touch them, so please don’t try to touch them.

Does Rain Kill Butterflies

 

Rain doesn’t kill butterflies per se, but it’s not good for them. Butterflies won’t fly in the rain and will try to avoid getting wet at all costs. Unlike you and I, a butterfly cannot grab a towel to dry itself off and needs to stay still to let the water evaporate, making them at risk of predators, so butterflies don’t like to be out in the rain, but it won’t kill them to get a little bit wet.
