The holidays are here and time for shopping! Here are some of my favorite gift suggestions!
Looking for a Family Friendly Card Game?
Engaging in meaningful conversations with children has become increasingly difficult in today’s online world. Luckily, Vertellis has introduced a new edition to their popular card games for parents and their children over 8-years-old that re-enforces meaningful conversation and kindness. I love how this game promotes kindness and it’s also great to take along on trips!
Prompted by questions, points are earned by starting and engaging in meaningful conversations. It’s a fun, interactive way to bring the family together.
Vertellis is Dutch and translates as “tell me more”. The game retails for $19.99 and available on their website and Amazon.
