All of the products in this post we have tried, reviewed or already owned. Some of these products I was given in order to conduct my review. As always, all thoughts & opinions are 100% my own.
The adorable model pictured above is my son. He’s feeling extra comfy using his Cooling Weighted Blanket by rocabi. He has lots of fun options to play with including his Kumon workbook, setting up his UE WONDERBOOM 2 speaker, reading his All About Frederick Douglas book, getting started working on his LEGO City 60214 Burger Bar Fire Rescue set and holding his soft Cutetitos stuffed animal. I think he should be busy for a while!

Using a set of simple structural parts, you build the Gridset (3D playing arena), then grab your player markers and start strategizing your moves.

Move in 3D to capture your opponents and get yourself kinged (or queened). Play last player standing or a timed game. When you’re done, use those same parts to build a new structure on which to play the same game. With aspects such as 3D movement, spatial awareness and logic all coming into play, we classify Gridopolis as a ‘STEM without screens game.’ Gridopolis has been described as “3D checkers in the best way possible.”

My son is going into 1st grade so we are currently working on mostly 1st grade Kumon workbooks. Go HERE to browse all of the workbooks by grade (they go up to 8th grade)! My son is not as keen on workbooks as my daughter who will sit and do them for hours. So for my son, I try to make doing workbooks light-hearted and fun. He has a personality where if I put a lot of stress on the importance of workbooks, he will decide not to do them 😉 I have a clipboard and every day I have a few workbook pages clipped to the clipboard. He does them on his own time and will ask questions if he needs to. These workbooks are fun for him though. He enjoys the challenge and I like the fact that they help him review everything he learned in Kindergarten while also challenging him as he learns new things over the summer.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
