Digital Equity Matters: Comcast/Xfinity Affordable Connectivity Program for Families

Disclosure: This blog post was written in partnership with Comcast. Any opinions expressed are my own.

Have you heard about the Federal Government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)?

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?
This awesome program provides eligible households with a $30 monthly credit toward your Internet and mobile services. Qualifying Tribal households receive a $75 per month discount on their bill. The federal program started as emergency relief for low-income Americans to ensure they could afford the broadband they need to work and connect with loved ones remotely during the COVID-19 crisis.

Who Qualifies for ACP?

If you qualify for ACP, you could receive high-speed internet for free, after the discount is applied.  How cool is that?

For example, if you are a customer of Comcast’s Internet Essentials service, which provides low-cost, high-speed home Internet to qualifying households for $9.95/month, as well as affordable computers, free WiFi hotspots, and free digital skills training, then you receive your service for effectively no cost when coupled with the credit from ACP.

ACP is intended to help low-income households access and stay connected to the Internet. If your household income is less than twice the federal poverty level– approximately $55,000 a year for a family of four or $27,000 a year for an individual – you would qualify for the benefit. Additionally, if you receive SNAP/EBT, Medicaid, or free and reduced-price school lunch, or if you receive certain other federal assistance benefits, you would also qualify.

Why Digital Equity Matters

Although it often seems like everyone is connected online, there are still people in the U.S. and around the world who are not connected to the Internet at home.  As a result, these individuals could be left behind with regards to technology.  Having a “connected home” which has access to high-speed Xfinity Internet is important for me and my family for work and personal use. My kids rely on it to do their homework, play games, and stay connected with their friends.  The Internet allows me to be more productive, collaborate remotely, and stay connected with the people who matter the most. Using the Internet for work and social events and meetings has now become essential rather than something that was merely nice to have. I believe remote work is here to stay for the near future.

Being a long-standing Xfinity customer, I appreciate that Comcast has made a one-billion-dollar commitment to advance digital equity.  They have partnered with thousands of non-profit organizations in communities across the country to increase awareness of, and participation in ACP, while also addressing broadband adoption issues like the lack of digital skills.

Comcast has a longstanding commitment to helping bridge the digital divide, and helping people stay connected to the Internet and moments that matter. Participating in the ACP program is a continuation of that commitment. Since 2011, Comcast’s Internet Essentials – the nation’s largest and most comprehensive Internet adoption program – has connected a cumulative total of more than ten million people to the Internet at home, most for the first time.

How Can I Sign Up?
Visit xfinity.com/acp or call 844-389-4681 for more info, to determine eligibility and to sign up. You can also visit your local Xfinity Store to learn more.

The Door of No Return by Kwame Alexander (A Book Review)

THIS BOOK…WHEW! I was NOT prepared for the journey this book took me on.

New York Times Bestselling Author and poet Kwame Alexander is back with another powerful middle grade novel, The Door of No Return.  It’s the first book in an exciting new trilogy. It took me approximately 81 minutes to finish reading this book from cover to cover. When I tell you I was captured from the very first sentence, I mean it. Once I started reading, I had to find out Kofi’s fate and how this story would end. Kwame’s lyrical writing can transcend you and make you feel like you are a part of the story with the characters.

Written in verse, The Door of No Return is a historical fiction novel set in the 19th century in the Asante Kingdom (modern day Ghana in West Africa). Fair warning: Some parts of this book are hard to digest and read, but it’s an important story based on the transatlantic slave trade that NEEDS to be told. Where was this book when I was in middle school and high school?

The year is 1860 and readers are introduced to 11-year-old Kofi Offin. Kofi is part of the Asante Kingdom, he comes from a tight-knit family, he has a crush on a girl named Ama, and most of all he loves to swim.

“Where I go each day after school is both hideout and oasis. It is where I am student and king. A place that holds me and my destiny safely in its deep-blue arms. The river where I splash and splash and kick into twilight.”

While reading this book, readers learn more about Kofi, his family, his peers, his culture, and his teacher, Mr. Goodluck Philip who teaches him to speak the “Queen’s English.” You quickly learn that Kofi is an endearing character who you’ll be rooting for throughout the entire book. I felt a myriad of different emotions while reading this book: happiness, sadness, and joy. There are some heavy topics, but they are handled in an approachable way for middle grade readers and young adults. I could see why this book was hard to write as Kwame states in his author’s note.

The ending of this book took an unexpected twist, and it left me sitting on the edge of my bed wanting more…literally!  How will I be able to wait for book number two? I was left with so many questions and feelings afterwards.

Overall, I highly recommend reading The Door of No Return. It’s a compelling story with amazing storytelling that will captivate you from beginning to end. Five stars!

Ten Diverse Children’s Books with Geographical Terms in the Title

How do you teach your children or students about geography and geographical terms?

Reading geography themed children’s books can help kids understand the concept of maps and globes. These books can also help children locate different countries, oceans, and major landmarks easier.

Introducing young children to geography and geographical terms is a wonderful way to learn about how our communities, cities, towns, and neighborhoods work.

Check out the list of books below that have geographical terms in the title. Click here for a huge list of several geographical terms.

Spy any books you want to add to your bookshelf? Which one(s) are you most looking forward to?

This blog post was inspired by Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Never Forget: Children’s Books About 9/11

8:46 am. 9:03 am. 9:37 am. 10:03 am.

Many people who were alive on September 11, 2001 will never forget the day when four planes crashed in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania at the times noted above. Each year, I set reminders in my phone to pause for a moment of silence to pay my respects to the families who lost a loved one on that tragic day.

If you were alive, do you remember where you were or what you were doing when you first heard about the 9/11 attacks? I was just pulling into the parking lot at my corporate job, and I heard the news on the radio. I remember it being one of the most unproductive and sad days at work.

Much like the current pandemic we’re still experiencing, many people divide history into pre-September 11th and post-September 11th life. The 9/11 terrorist attacks altered our lives forever in many ways. September 11th has now become a day of reflection and remembrance for many. It’s a day to mourn the many lives lost, give thanks, and hug our loved ones a little tighter.

If you are a parent or educator looking for age-appropriate books and resources to talk to children about the unprecedented date, check some of these titles out.

Virtual Book Tour: My Pet Feet by Josh Funk, illustrated by Billy Yong

A book written without the letter “R” in it? (That is until the missing “R” is finally found.) File this one under one of the most clever picture books I’ve ever seen!

One day, a little girl wakes up and notices her pet ferret Doodles doesn’t look quite right.  She also realizes that somehow the letter “R” has vanished from the alphabet on the wall in her room.

Without the letter “R” her pet ferret becomes her pet feet. In fact, all things that contain the letter “R” transform into words without an “R”. This turns the entire town upside down. The girl doesn’t know how to fix this, but she knows she has to come up with a plan to save her pet and her town – and FAST!

This book takes readers on a hilarious and witty adventure to find out what happened to the eighteenth symbol of the alphabet.

Here are a few things I think this book did really well:

  • The overall concept – I mean, how does Josh Funk always think of these amazingly clever story plots?
  • The illustrations – Illustrator Billy Yong did a brilliant job crafting the illustrations and facial expressions throughout the book.
  • Play on words – The way Josh Funk played with vocabulary words to account for the missing ‘R’s’ was genius. It’s so funny to read about the flock of cows, kids riding on go-cats, and the police officer on the ack of a galloping hose!
  • The attention to detail (both in illustration and text). I love the way the author and illustrator incorporated both humorous and meaningful details (thank you for showing the little Black girl wearing a bonnet at bedtime). Also, don’t miss the character Moe who is one of the townspeople and the before and after illustrations of the town without the letter “R” and with the letter “R” once it’s restored.
  • The subtle lessons and teaching moments – Feelings, how one missing letter can change words, friendship, how to apologize to others.
  • The twist at the end which hints at another potential picture book to be written in the future.

Check out a few reviews My Pet Feet has already received:

“My Pet Feet is funny and exciting to read! The wordplay creates many entertaining scenarios and will have kids searching the illustrations for additional cases of the ‘missing R.’ Families, teachers, and KIDS will love this!”

—Joanna Robertson, The Treehouse Reading and Arts Center, New York Mills, NY

“Giggle. Tee-hee. Josh Funk and Billy Yong have created a new treasure chock-full of wordsmith fun. Scrabblers, grab a pencil, puzzlers, get your puz-mug on, My Pet Feet is a feat of genius, from our pals Funk & Yong. No doubt, inspired by Letterman, a 1970s PBS educational show called The Electric Company, this book follows a child through the day as the world goes topsy-turvy, letter by letter. Very cool. I have missed this game. Illustrations are top notch. Lots of extra linguistic mysteries and visual treats to unravel. Bravo.” – Jilleen Moore, Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi

Your turn: Have you read this hilarious book yet?  It’s such a FUN read aloud! Feel free to share in the comments.

Literary Road Trip: Kalahari Resorts & Conventions Authentically African

Disclaimer: Thank you to Kalahari Resorts and Conventions for providing me and my family with complimentary access to the resort. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.

The word Kalahari is a Tswana word that can be defined as “a waterless place”.

A few days ago, our family had the pleasure of visiting Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains.  Located at 250 Kalahari Blvd, Pocono Manor, PA, Kalahari Resorts is about a 3-hour drive from where we live in Connecticut.  It’s an easy and scenic drive straight up Interstate 84 West. As with all road trips, we made sure to bring plenty of books and other activities to keep the kids busy during the drive.

Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed was how beautiful and HUGE the place was.  Being greeted by a quote right in front of the resort that says, “There has never been, nor will ever be a more beautiful place on Earth than Africa” made me instantly fall in love with Kalahari before we even set foot inside.  I also loved seeing the outdoor kids’ playground, stunning African decor, and lots of statues inside and outside the property.

Pro Tip: Bring comfortable shoes – you’ll be doing a lot of walking since there is so much ground to cover.

The Resort
When you walk in you see the check-in/out area, gift shops, restaurants, and a sitting area in front of a large fireplace with views of the water park. You can access the arcade from the main area as well as the convention center and the different North and South room wings. When you check-in you receive wristbands that allow you access to your room, and if you connect a credit card to your account, your wristband can used to pay for things throughout the resort. When your stay is over, you are automatically checked out so there is no need to visit the front desk before leaving.

Inside, the entire resort is African themed. It felt like we entered the fictional world of Wakanda from the movie The Black Panther.  I enjoyed learning about the history and inspiration behind Kalahari Resorts and Conventions.  It’s inspiring to read about the resort owners’ efforts in fostering entrepreneurship and creating various partnerships throughout Africa.  You can read more about that here.  I was also impressed to see the wishing well in the front lobby.  The owners of the resort donate the coins tossed into the wishing well to provide clean water to communities in Africa.

Our Room
Our room was large enough to sleep a family of six.  We had two queen beds, a pull-out couch, a bathroom, and a small “kitchen” area which had a refrigerator, microwave, and a coffee pot.  We also had a balcony overlooking the outdoor pools and waterslides.

Pro Tip: Wear your swimsuit, bring your own towels, and a small beach bag if you plan to arrive early.  Upon arrival, our room wasn’t ready since we got there around 11:00am. However, after checking in at the front desk, we were able to go to the waterpark while waiting for our room to be ready.  This allowed us to get in some extra time at the waterpark and kept the kids from being antsy while waiting.  Once our room was ready, we received a text message letting us know our room was ready and our room number.  It was super convenient and easy!

The Waterpark
The main attraction at Kalahari is, of course, the humongous 220,000 square-foot water park (Water park admission is included in your stay). Kalahari is known for being home of America’s largest waterpark and it does NOT disappoint! Families can choose from thrilling waterslides to toddler pools, to private cabanas with personal jacuzzis and more!  Our kids loved the wave pool. the Lazy River, and the waterslides the most.  My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub, the wave pool, waterslides, and thrilling rides like the Screaming Hyena.  Even though there were a lot of people in the waterpark and in the resort, the lines for the waterslides moved quickly.  The most time we remember being in line was 10 minutes, which wasn’t bad.

Pro Tip: Towels and lifejackets are available for free inside the waterpark.  Remember to return all the towels you borrowed to avoid being charged a fee.

Activities
There are lots of other activities available if you want to take a break from the water park.  For creative children, there is the Adventurers Club where they can do art and crafts.  My daughter participated in Canvas & Ceramics Painting at the Adventurers Club and enjoyed it.  There is also an outdoor hiking trail, an arcade, indoor mini-golf, escape rooms, and mini bowling.  Families can also experience Gorilla Grove which offers outside mini-golf, zip-lines, and a ropes course. If you’re in the mood for exercise you can visit the Fitness Center.  In the mood for some relaxation? Visit Spa Kalahari and Salon and try one of their relaxing therapy services.

Food
Every place we ate the food was delicious! There are so many wonderful places to choose from.  We had the opportunity to eat at B-Lux, Great Karoo Marketplace, Sortino’s, Zulu Grill, and Cinco Niños.  Our favorite place to dine was Sortino’s.  Next time we visit we want to experience Double Cut Steak House.

Final Thoughts
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would we go back? ABSOLUTELY! As always, we had a wonderful time making memories.

Any questions about Kalahari Resorts? Leave them in the comments! If you have stayed there before I would love to hear about your experience.

Winning Wednesday: All the Places We Call Home by Patrice Gopo

Welcome back to another Winning Wednesday!  Today we’re giving away  copies of All the Places We Call Home written by Patrice Gopo, illustrated by Jenin Mohammed.

For this giveaway, I partnered with our friends at WorthyKids, a children’s book publisher and division of Hachette Book Group. Five (5) lucky winners will each receive a copy of the picture book.  See the rules for entering listed below.   Check out the synopsis for the book.

All the Places We Call Home (synopsis from the publisher)

Fall in love with this lyrically written and lushly illustrated exploration of identity and home that celebrates all the places and people who make us who we are.

“And where shall we go?” Mama asks as she tucks me in.

“South Africa. Where I was born.”

My answer summons Mama’s stories, stories that send us soaring back in time to when I was a baby. Out my window. Down my street. Across water. Across continents.

Where do you come from? Where does your family come from? For many children, the answers to these questions can transform a conversation into a journey around the globe.

In her first picture book, author Patrice Gopo illuminates how family stories help shape children, help form their identity, and help connect them with the broader world. Her lyrical language, paired with Jenin Mohammed’s richly textured artwork, creates a beautiful, stirring portrait of a child’s deep ties to cultures and communities beyond where she lays her head to sleep.

Ultimately, this story speaks a truth that all children need to hear: The places we come from are part of us, even if we can’t always be near them. All the Places We Call Home is a quiet triumph that encourages an awakening to our own stories and to the stories of those around us.

The Giveaway!
Five (5) winners will each win:

  • 1 copy of All the Places We Call Home

Winners must be U.S. residents at least 18 years of age or older.  Good Luck!

Basement Learning Space Makeover Before + After

Disclaimer: We partnered with Lakeshore Learning for this basement makeover project.  As always, all opinions expressed are my own.

At the start of the pandemic, I realized our home needed a larger designated space for learning and playing.  It took us two years to get it done, but we finally completed our basement makeover project.

Our basement was, how do I say this nicely – total crap! It was dark, musty, junky, and very uninviting.  It didn’t spark joy for any of us.

BEFORE

And now? It looks and feels like a bright and inviting learning space and play area combined.  My kids are so excited about it. And so am I!

AFTER

THE PLAN:

  • Create a functional space that the kids can use to learn and play
  • Have a room that, post-pandemic, will still be cute and functional as a kid’s hangout/art room/project room, etc.

NEXT CONSIDERATION – HOW TO MAKE THE SPACE WORK

Once we cleared out all the junk and donated/sold what we no longer needed, the basement was blank canvas.  It was so refreshing to see how much space we have down there. We knew that for the space to work, we needed enough room for two kids to be able to work comfortably to do their schoolwork and projects.

HERE ARE THE KEY THINGS WE DID TO MAKE IT WORK:

  • Installed bookshelves
  • Added furniture, school supplies, and some decor
  • Changed the ceiling lights to LED lights
  • Made a “cozy corner” for independent reading time

LAKESHORE LEARNING PRODUCTS WE USED

Overall, I’m incredibly happy with the way our basement came out. I can already tell it’s making a stark difference in the way the kids do their schoolwork.  It will also serve as a homeschool space in the event we ever have to return to remote learning.

If you’re struggling to get settled into a learning space plan, I would highly suggest using any spare space that you might have (an under-used dining room, a spare bedroom, a basement). If you’re able to carve out a designated area for your kids to do their schoolwork, I would highly recommend it. If it can save you some sanity this year, it’s well worth the effort!

Lakeshore’s BIGGEST Sale of the Year is here…their annual Back to School Sale! During this sale, they offer some of the best discounts with up to 20% off hundreds of items online and up to 50% off doorbuster deals (in-store only).

Check out some additional Lakeshore Learning highlights:

  • They have a variety of learning products for kids ages 0–13, from infants through elementary
  • Lakeshore products are durable and undergo rigorous safety testing, so they’re built to last (and are a breeze to keep clean!)

Take advantage of back-to-school savings by shopping at Lakeshore Learning’s Back to School sale before it ends. Not only do they offer great discounts, but they also have a wide variety of products to support different learning environments. You can shop online, in-store or save time with Curbside Pickup.

Use my coupon code to get 20% off any single non-sale item. My coupon code is 4908. It can be used for purchases in-store or online.

Winning Wednesday: New Early Chapter Book Series Miles Lewis by Kelly Starling Lyons

Introducing a new series I’m starting on the blog called Winning Wednesday. This is a chance for readers and subscribers to enter to win FREE books ranging from children’s books to adult books.  I’ll be partnering with authors and publishers who generously agree to participate and send the winners their books in the mail.  How FUN is that?  Ready for the first giveaway in the series?

Today, I partnered with author and friend Kelly Starling Lyons to celebrate her new forthcoming early chapter book series for readers ages 6 – 8 and up. Two lucky winners will each receive copies of Miles Lewis: King of the Ice and Miles Lewis: Whiz Kid written by Kelly Starling Lyons.  See the rules for entering listed below.  Good luck and Happy Reading!

Miles Lewis: King of the Ice Synopsis (from the publisher)

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!

Miles Lewis loves science and sports. But when his teacher announces a class field trip to an ice skating rink to learn about physics, he isn’t so excited. He’s never ice skated before, and his friend RJ won’t let him forget it. RJ even challenges him to a bet: If Miles skates without falling, RJ will put a “Miles is the man” sign on his backpack. But if Miles falls, he has to put one on his that says the same about RJ. Miles can barely focus on the bet, though, because he suspects his beloved Nana has plans to move out of his family’s house—and that’s just too much to bear. Can he keep his cool with all the pressure from RJ while finding a way to make his grandma stay?

Miles Lewis: Whiz Kid Synopsis (from the publisher)


From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans!

Miles Lewis has been waiting forever to be part of a city-wide science competition. Now his dream is finally coming true, and he’s even part of an all-star team that includes his good friend, Jada. He should be in his element, so he can’t seem to figure out why he feels like the weak link instead. While everyone else is rocking the project, Miles keeps messing up, and the team bickers and loses momentum. Miles is filled with self-doubt, and he has to wonder: Is he really a whiz at science, or is he actually a flop?

The Giveaway!
TWO (2) winners will each win:

  • 1 copy of Miles Lewis: King of the Ice
  • 1 copy of Miles Lewis: Whiz Kid

Winners must be U.S. residents at least 18 years of age or older.
