EARTH DAY REMINDS US TO CARE FOR OUR PLANET

Apr 15, 2025

Did you know recycling saves energy and helps create new products? Earth Day is a special time to care for our planet by raising awareness and taking action!

People celebrate by joining clean-ups, planting trees and flowers, and supporting environmental charities. You can help too! Instead of throwing things away, find creative ways to reuse them. Turn an old water bottle into a cup holder by cutting off the top and decorating it. Composting food scraps is another great way to recycle—just bury a wire trash basket in the ground, add scraps, and watch your garden grow!

PONDER POISON POWER AT AZ SCIENCE CENTER

Mar 12, 2025

There’s a great, new exhibit at the Arizona Science Center, all about poison and venom. On the third floor of the center, you will find an area all about the history, the different kinds, antidotes, and how to find different poisons and venoms. Though, at a first thought, you might not expect it to be the best thing to bring your kid to, but you’d be surprised by how fun it can be to learn about poison.

WINTER BREAK AT DISNEY WORLD

Jan 30, 2025

Did you know that over 53 MILLION people visit Disney World over the course of just one year? During winter break my family took a vacation to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

We visited all four of the different parks in just four days. We went back to the Magic Kingdom after the Animal Kingdom because we got tickets to the Mickey’s Magical Christmas Party. There, we got really cute Mickey bucket hats that were Christmas themed.

MY FUN VISIT TO PATAGONIA

Jan 21, 2025

My family and I went to Patagonia, Arizona. We drove through Tucson to our cute little AirBnB that looked like a playhouse.

The next day, we went bird-watching and saw many animals, including squirrels, a violet-crowned hummingbird, and, surprisingly, a Cooper’s Hawk. During the hike, we saw something so special that my family and I quietly crouched down to take a picture. About 60 feet in front of us, was a herd of deer with their fawns.
