Relaxation and Disney Fun by the Pool!

Disney Learning at Home

With everything going on in the world these days, it’s an understatement to say that we’ve all had to make some adjustments and likely experienced our fair share of disappointments.

In the meantime, I’ve also transitioned from a full-time professional who worked outside of the home to temporarily being a full-time stay-at-home mom, teacher, lunch lady, and more.

Thank goodness for the internet, which has an endless supply of ideas to entertain, engage, and educate young students. Since we can’t physically be at Walt Disney World right now, we can bring some of the magic to life here at home and I’m sharing some of our favorite finds so far. Read more
