If you're looking for a handy-dandy place to find a bunch of great kids activities you came to the right place.

Here you'll find all of the resources of the week from each of our episodes. It's updated regularly, and split into easy sections for you.

I'll also add a few more great resources, and links to my other businesses, too!  

Some of these are free things to do and others cost a few bucks.  But they're all great resources to have fun and connect with your kids.  

Note that some of these are affiliate links which means that if you buy the item it doesn't cost you anything more.

But, Pavlos and Angela get a small percentage of the referral fee for sending you over there, getting them a few pennies, or a few dollars closer to his dream of buying a flying car! And at the end you'll find some friends of the show who are also dedicated to helping families thrive!
