I’d say we are pretty laid back parents.
\nBut when it comes to schoolwork – – – work before play! ALWAYSSS.<\/p>\n

We’ve partnered with ACER to make those homework moments happen, even while making sure the boys explore this beautiful world.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

With all we have on our plate lately, weekends are pretty much my saving grace.
\nI love disconnecting from the outside world, shutting down + reconnecting
\nwith my best friends.
\nIf I had to guess, I’d say a big reason why people don’t go camping or get out\/disconnect often is because of inconvenience.\u00a0 \u00a0Or people relying on you back home to keep things afloat? Who knows?\"\"
\n\"\"We have found more joy in our little camper trailer this summer than anywhere else.
\nHoning in on the right products that make getting away a LOT less work, has been a total game changer.
\n\"\" \"\"\"\"
\nI intentionally seek products that will withstand wear + tear
\nof our three wild life-filled boys!
\nAcer Spin3<\/a>\u00a0has surpassed the durability test this summer
\n+ has allowed Jonah, along with the rest of us, to not fall behind while living on the go.\"\" \"\"\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\" \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"
\n\"\" \"\"
\nJon + I\u00a0\u00a0are both self employed,
\nso we often need to stay connected back home.
\nThe\u00a0Spin 3 has become our key to\u00a0living the best of both worlds.
\nWe can be connected however closely we want to be,
\nwhile still being away.
\nYa know’msayin?<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe wide screen (which flips a 180 will stand on it’s own)
\nhas been perfect for the “learning hands” in our family.
\nI appreciate it’s durability + have enjoyed watching\u00a0our boys fall in love with\u00a0studying.
\nAsk me again when high school rolls around.
\n\"\"\"\"
\n\"\"\"\"When I found out Jack was a girl,
\n“OH GREAT, now all the things in our house are ALWAYS going to be broken.”
\nwas pretty much the first initial thought that popped into my mind.
\nBut surprisingly enough, the\u00a0Spin 3 is the least of my worries.
\nIt’s durability is unmatched.
\n\"\"
\nFunny story:\u00a0<\/em>The second week into kindergarten was Jonah’s first week with homework. Neither Jon nor I could figure out what the teacher was asking him to do. I wrote on a sticky note for his sweet teacher to clarify for us – – – but I think it fell out before he got there – – – he brought his packet back home because it was incomplete.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We work hard to limit screen time in our home.
\nTechnology\u00a0plays a big role in our life.
\nWe’ve tried hard to make big strides in the right direction.
\nWe’ve hit study habits right on the head right out of the gate.
\nWe have fingers crossed\u00a0learning continues to be a source of positivity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No play without finishing homework packet! This is samesies all across the board. Whether we are home or in the mountains!
\nI consider myself a pretty laid back parent,
\nbut when it comes to screen time,
\nI’m not so bubbly if they don’t keep\u00a0their world. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

3 quick camping tips to make camping easier with kids:\u00a0<\/em>
\n<\/strong>
\n1. Grocery shop on the way to the canyon:<\/strong>\u00a0Leave the kids in the car with your husband + take your sweet uninterrupted time \ud83d\ude42 We like to eat tinfoil pizza pockets, put strawberries on our smores, + roast starburst.\u00a0 I usually plan for dinner, breakfast + lunch the following day.<\/p>\n

2. Pack one bag for alllll of you.<\/strong>
\nThink in layers!
\nRight now is an exceptions because the air is getting crisp. I bring more layers + coats + jackets, etc. But the remainder of the year – – -the lighter we pack the better.
\nThe only thing worse than regular laundry is CAMPING laundry.\u00a0
\n<\/strong>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Load a movie onto your Computer before you lose service:<\/strong>
\nReason 29 of 100 why we love\u00a0Acer! We have been watching movies to fall asleep now that the temps are dropping.\u00a0It’s too cold to do much else outside of the trailer once the sun goes down. These simple memories are\u00a0ones that I’ll long for one day, I just know it.
