~Review~ Merinte Money Belt With RFID Passport Holder And Credit Card Scanning Protection

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I know traveling safely is a huge concern these days. It seems like everyday you hear about someone getting mugged or losing all of their money and credit cards. Now the new thing is electronic pickpocketing. Yes they have a device that can download all of your credit card information without even seeing your card. That is pretty scary. So when I was asked to review this Money Belt and RFID Passport Holder I knew it could be a travel lifesaver.

The belt itself is very nice. I expected like one of those old fanny packs but it's nothing like they were. This is flat and made to store your money, passports and credit cards. The front is solid and has a zippered pocket and the back that lays against your body is mesh to keep you cooler. It has three pockets total so you can hold your family or friends information along with yours. This goes right on your belt or around your waist and lays flat under your shirt or sweater. It can hold a good amount of items without feeling heavy or bulky. It has a very good, tight, flat safety clasp and I was not worried at all about it being able to be yanked off my person. It also is adjustable to almost any size. It fit all members of my family from the kids to the adults. The RFID blockers are built right into the money belt and there are spots just for your credit cards.

I think this is just a must have for any traveler. I am loaning it to my brother when he heads to Europe because he was mugged once before. He would feel much safer using this money belt that is basically invisible. You can get your own Money Belt and RFID Passport Holder on Amazon.

A Day at Alley Mill Spring Eminence, Missouri Part 1

My husbands two children came home for Spring Break last week. This is a super small rural area and so we were at kind of a loss on where to go. Very close by in Eminence, Missouri is Alley Mill Spring..it's beautiful with caves and hiking. That is the perfect place to take active kid we thought, and we were right!

As always when we go anywhere we learn something new.. that day we taught the kids about Watercress that grows in the Spring there. We even all tried some. Nikolas thought it was grand, but the older kids not so much. It's pretty bitter fresh like that, but has a ton of vitamins. Eat away kids, eat away! The flowers are just pretty, no idea what they are.. I can't be expected to know everything, come on!

Come on Mom..... we have some hiking to do. I want to climb the rocks..and boy did he...

~Review~ Dot & Dot Packing Sleeves

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We travel often in my family. One of the things I hate about it is packing. Once you arrive you open your suitcase and it's wrinkle central. The Dot & Dot Packing Sleeves prevent wrinkles and hold from 5-8 items depending on the size you get. I got an 18" and a 15" to try. I was able to get around four large shirts and two baby items in the smaller one.

They both come with a folding board. The same kind they use at a department store to fold shirts. This also can separate your clothing. You can keep your dirty clothes below and clean above, or just use it to keep everything nice and flat.

Each Dot & Dot Packing Sleeve has a large velcro closure on both flaps inside and out. These hold fast, even stuffed. I packed one full and then closed it and there was no risk of opening. They are very nice quality, large and padded, with a thick padded handle. The bags have a lot of air that is able to get through to keep your clothes fresh.

I think these would make really great carry on bags for short travel trips. They would also work for when you only need one to two days of clothing. I think that they would also work for carrying papers, toys, baby items, etc. They are very useful little bags!

You can get the Dot & Dot Packing Sleeves on Amazon or on the Dot & Dot website.

~Review~ Set of 2 Double Wall Coffee Mugs

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

All I can say is how impressed I am with these Double Wall Coffee Mugs. They are really nice looking to start with. I love the simple design on them. They are very sturdy and stylish. The handle is very comfortable, no matter the size of your hand. It curves in with your palm for a comfortable grip.

The inside of these Double Wall Coffee Mugs are also stainless steel. They are very easy to clean. They have a flip top that snaps closed. It's very easy to open. The lid is tough to get off, it's super tight. The benefit of course is that there is no leaking at all. Not from the top or the lid.

I really love these mugs, they are nice looking, and super sturdy. You can buy your own Double Wall Coffee Mugs on Amazon.

~Review~ Set of Two Hango Lunch Bags

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We always make our lunches. We are not huge fan's of fast food and prefer to make our own. So I couldn't wait to try these adorable pink Hango Lunch Bags. The Hango Lunch Bags come as a set of two. We got Pink, but you can get other colors that are more manly. These are insulated lunch bags that zip closed.

The Hango Lunch Bags come in a nice canvas carry bag for storage. The larger bag is a good size. It will hold about the size of a six pack of soda or a good sized lunch. The small one is only big enough for snacks. It would hold maybe two to three soda's. It's perfect for like a hiking snack, or something like that. These are both insulated bags, and keep your lunch warm or cold depending. They are very high quality materials. The only flaw I found is that the zippers are not easy to open or close. This is more the shape and structure of the bag than the zippers themselves.

The bags are very pretty no matter the color. I love the pink and brown. It's so stylish. They are nice for any age, male or female. I really loved the one's I got and have used them a number of times. Do you need some nice new Hango Lunch Bags? You can buy them on Amazon.

~Review~ Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Travel Mug

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We LOVE coffee in our home. We drink it all day every day. There isn't one decent place to get a cup of coffee near us so we usually take it on the go with us. I am always open to trying new Coffee Travel Mugs.

This Coffee Travel Mug is so light weight. It's like carrying a plastic cup. The lid is exceptionally tight. It's not coming off the mug. It has a nice handle that is really good for smaller hands like mine. It's a different shape than most mugs. I love the cute coffee cup logo on the front. Nice and simple design.

It has a simple slide close lid. It snaps closed, but is not leak proof. This is probably the only downfall to this mug. The actual lid snaps in very tightly but has an edge to make for easy removal. I really love the weight of this mug and is great for people like me who can't hold much and have small hands.

You can buy yourself or a friend this Coffee Travel Mug on Amazon.

~Review~ Little Passports Subscription Box

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own. If you click on links in my review and purchase I will make a small commission~

My family loves to travel. We've been to almost every state in the United States and plan to next start visiting other countries. When I saw that there was a subscription box for kids that was based around traveling I was super excited. Our Little Passports box came and the kids couldn't wait to open it. We chose the World Edition subscription. Your first month you get The Explorer Kit, which is basically just a starter kit. This is for ages 5 through 10, but as you'll see the 2 year old loved it just as much as the older kids.

He was very excited by the suitcase. Since these photos this suitcase has been home to movies, cars, stuffed animals, you name it, it's been a holder for it.

This particular box has items for your upcoming journeys. The first items we got were a VERY LARGE wall sized World map. This we are putting up in the hallway between the kids rooms so they can all enjoy it. My 12 year old Michael loved this because he said it would be useful for school and his trivia games as well. Nikolas pulled out some stickers, because what little kid doesn't LOVE stickers. Besides the suitcase, he loves them best.

Still won't put those stickers down. Next we got a postcard. It has a picture of the characters Sam and Sofia and how they found this scooter that will take you anywhere in the world.

Next we got a Passport replica. This is adorable, looks totally realistic. It has a spot for your photo, and some different questions about countries and then a few pages for stamps.

The box also includes a Welcome Letter, a Boarding pass you can hang on your suitcase and an activity book. All in all I really like this box....and the boxes that follow look even more exciting. They include souvenirs also. The only thing that I do not like about this box is that the suitcase is paper. My boys will probably have it apart in a few weeks if I am lucky. But for $10.95 or $11.95 this is a good deal. It's a fun box to get in the mail and I think the kids will learn all sorts of interesting things about the world.

If you are interested in staring a subscription of your own, you can get a box that suits anywhere from ages 3 through 12. Although my 16 year old was really interested in the adorable souvenirs. This would be a great addition to homeschooling also. Go Sign up to Enjoy traveling with your kids at Little Passports
