Q and A: Deep Dives and Harry Potter Resources [Episode 53]
This week the sisters chat deep dives - how do we know how much to “push,” and when to let kids just explore interests? Plus, they share all their favorite Harry Potter resources.
We’re not saying that Cait and Kara nerd out for a half-hour, but one of them does actually say that’s exactly what they do. 😉 Listen in as they suggest books, games, activities and more for your favorite little Potter People!

Simple Contacts is the most convenient way to renew your contact lens prescription and reorder your brand of contacts from anywhere, in minutes.

Need to renew your prescription? Take the 5-minute Simple Contacts vision test online, it’ll be
reviewed by a licensed doctor, you receive a renewed prescription & reorder your contacts. All you need is your current contacts, an internet connection and 10 feet of space! Even if you’re totally out of contacts, they’ve got an option for you too. And if you have an unexpired prescription and need more contacts - just upload a photo of it or your doctor’s information
and order your lenses! They do all the hard work for you and take care of verifying and confirming your prescription. This isn’t a replacement for your periodic full eye exam, but it is a convenient way to renew prescriptions!
