Is Amazon Prime worth the cost for families? | Raising Seraphim

http://www.raisingseraphim.com/2015/08/is-amazon-prime-worth-cost-for-families.html

Is Amazon Prime worth the cost for families? Since becoming a mom, I am always looking for ways to keep my life simple and easy.

Amazon is something I use ALL THE TIME personally. Their app is on the first page of my iPhone I use them so much! And I only recommend products, companies and services that I would use myself. :).

Friday, July 10, 2015. Drinking Straw and Tissue Paper Gliders. One of the themes I planned to explore this summer was flight. This topic requires no selling from me; my two sons are instantly fascinated. We recently visited both of the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museums in the Washington, D. C. area. Touring these museums and seeing my children's enthusiasm and wonder bumped this theme to the top of the list. 2 large sheets of tissue paper. 8 drinking straws (the kind WITHOUT the bendy joint).

Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational: DIY Parachutes (and the Science Behind How they Work)

My boys have gotten so many of those parachuting army men as party favors, I've lost count. And forget trying to untangle the strings. (Ain't nobody got time for that! The weather may not have been on our side, but with so many rainy days this summer, eventually you just throw caution to the wind and do outdoor activities anyway. And so it was the day we made DIY parachutes. How to Make It.
