Ripley’s Aquarium Myrtle Beach Review

This time last month we were vacationing in the very beautiful and peaceful North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. While at the beach, we always take our kids to a few attractions. This year we chose to visit MagiQuest and Ripley’s Aquarium. We previously shared with you our review of MagiQuest and today I wanted to share our Ripley’s Aquarium experience.

Ripley’s Aquarium is the most visited attraction in South Carolina which isn’t surprising considering how breathtakingly beautiful, educational, and fun it is for families. The Aquarium, located on Broadway At The Beach, is home to thousands of both local and exotic fish as well as other marine life from around the world.

MaGiQuest Myrtle Beach Review

This week we are vacationing in the north Myrtle Beach area. While here I thought I’d venture into the world of “travel” reviews here on A Mom’s Review since we like to try out a few new attractions each time we visit. When we visit NMB we spend most of our time splashing in the waves, building sand castles, and relaxing on the beautiful beach. On rainy and cool vacation days (and there’s always at least one) we like to check out some of the local attractions. And, since today was one of those days we decided to make our way to MaGiQuest at Broadway at the Beach in the main Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, area.

Little Stars Bedtime Cards

A bedtime routine is important for every child. In our home, each of our boys picks out a favorite book, we read it then it’s time to go to sleep. However, sometimes this just doesn’t work. So, what do we do?

I recently came across a fun bedtime-inspired product called Little Stars Bedtime Cards for kids ages 3-6 that really works well. I also use these cards with my 8 year old son and he enjoys them too. According to Little Stars Bedtime Cards, these cards help send your child to sleep feeling loved and important. The set comes with 28 different positive statements such as “I Like Who I Am“, “I Am Brave“, and “I Am Curious“.
