Do512 Family Featured Babymaker, Trish Morrison from MomCom, has found an interesting way to keep your kids learning this summer. Created by local parents, Brain Chase is an exciting summer curriculum where kids read, write, do math problems and complete tasks in other subjects, all to help them get further in a virtual (and real) treasure hunt. It’s a very cool concept and we’re excited to hear about it!
If you are anything like us, then you have an abundance of children’s clothes that don’t fit anymore, toys that go untouched, games that don’t get played and equipment that you don’t need anymore. In the name of good health and necessity, we beg you to purge! Purge the things you don’t need anymore and clear some space in your home… and make some cash while you’re at it, at the Here We Grow Again Kids Consignment Sale.
Do512 Family is all about what to do in Austin with kids. We love to be out and about in Austin and are always looking for fun things to do with the family.
