As you know, we live in the age of Aquarius … oh, sorry. That was from an interesting conversation that I was a part of several years ago, but that’s a different blog post altogether.

We do however, live in an age of screens. You can’t deny it, or fight it really, but I have a theory about life that I think is rather enlightened. Instead of trying to eliminate the less then desirable, or less than healthy habits, foods, people… add the good. The good food, the good people, the good habits. It’s not fool proof, but it makes sense to me – leave less room for the things, the food, and the people that drain you of your life force by adding in as much positivity and goodness as possible.

This is the reason that I was so excited to be asked by Media Masters Publicity to review the newest edition of three National Geographic Kids publications, the 2020 Almanac, Weird But True USA, and Brain Games. Not only was it cool to have the chance to review these well-known publications, but I was thrilled to have my children check them out as well. I want them to get excited about real life books and tangible things that aren’t only accessible through a screen.

I love a great visual presentation, and National Geographic Kids does not disappoint. Not only were my children super excited to receive these books in the mail, but the images and colors of the publications are absolutely eye catching. When kids see them (and adults too), they think, woah, that looks awesome, let me see what is inside.
