Recently I was asked to try out and review these new products by Rand McNally called Boredom Breakers.  They are Rand McNally’s answer to how to keep kids entertained during a long (or short) road trip.  As you may have seen, Last month we took a trip up to Northern Nevada that took us about 4 hours one way to drive.  When I found out about this product to review we were planning on making that trip again in the near future.  However that trip was changed to taking a trip to Cheyenne, Wy.  This trip will be a 12 hour drive.  Even my teenagers, who have always been really great on long trips, will need something to do!  These Boredom Breakers will be a life saver…. for them more than me.

Yes, that’s right, I said High Schooler!  My Roger, my baby, my first born son, is now a High Schooler.  Where did all the time go?  It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby.   Wasn’t he just adorable as a baby!  This picture was taken about 14 years ago.  I can hardly believe this is the same child that’s downstairs starting his first day of high school.

As any parent knows, our children’s safety is our highest priority.  That’s why when I ran accross this free Safety Kit from ADT, I had to tell everyone about it.  The kit comes with a guide on teaching your children how to be safe both in the real world and online, a cool fingerprint kit, a magnet, a reflective sticker for kids to wear in the dark, and games, too.  This is for any child that is 14 years old or younger, one kit per child.  It takes about 4 – 6 weeks to receive in the mail.  But I think it’ll be well worth the wait.
