Shoes

When flying, I stand in the regular security line because I don’t have TSA pre-check or Clear. Although, after a recent one-hour-and-twominute wait in the security line at the Denver airport, I may need to reconsider. But for now, when I go through security, I need to remove my shoes (always a pain). Enter Kizik shoes! They feature a patented heel design so you can take them off and put them on without bending over or touching them with your hands. Brilliant! And they are comfy! In addition to being helpful when traveling, I think they’d be perfect for when you’re pregnant and reaching down is tricky! Check them out at Kizik.com.

National Parks

Our national parks are a treasure, and there are so many I’d like to visit. In fact, if you’d asked me not too long ago how many I had visited, my answer was always none. Until I received a copy of The National Parks Scavenger Hunt by Stacy Tornio. In paging through this informative book with delightful illustrations, I realized I’ve actually been to four parks! This book contains not only a wealth of information but also a fun scavenger hunt for each park. It’s a great jumping off point for planning a trip and provides a family-friendly way to explore all 63 parks. I highly recommend for your family’s library!
