Let’s talk about Fall — specifically, Fall in Florida.

It may not be the same as most other states, but we can certainly still enjoy the season. But, Florida does have theme parks in the fall! What better time of the year to go to the parks? Disney does what Disney does best – decorations! Check out the parks to see what each one has to offer this year.

Why do we love Fall? Cool weather, warm scents, and cozy homes.

Take the time to find some local festivals, pumpkin patches and more!

Florida Parent Educators Association’s (FPEA) Chairwoman, Suzanne Nunn talks about Travel Journaling.

Florida Summers – a perfect time for a staycation, or even a vacation. Have you kept a travel journal? This is a great way to both learn from the experience, but also to create lasting memories. In years to come, you and your kids can look back and relive the memories you made on your trips. As they say, the days are long, but the years are short.

List in for ideas on both the why and hows of travel, or field trip, journals.

There are numerous options for field trip journals or travel journals. You can purchase pre-made journals, or you can let those creative juices flow and create your own. There are also many printables available online. Be sure to check our Pinterest boards for some ideas.
