Clevelands House Kids by Ava Derickx Hello, today I will be talking about Clevelands House, which is a kid-friendly resort. Speaking of kid-friendly they have an AMAZING Kids Club from babies to teens, with so many activities that your kids will love so much! They will never want to leave. They will also love the floating water park and when I say floating, I mean floating in the LAKE! How cool is that?
You can go down so many slides, climb up icebergs, bounce on trampolines, and do challenges. It is awesome. Another fun thing to do is Intercamp. This where you get put in two different teams. You choose a team name and make up a cheer. After that you do obstacle courses and games. It s really fun! There s so much more to do, take a look at my schedule!
This was my sister s schedule!
Oh, and then there was this
I hope this helps explain about Clevelands House Kids. If you don t believe an 8 year old kid who has been there, then I don t know who you ll believe. I know your kids will have a great time!

The kid has asked for top billing right along with her sister. This is her first review, of Clevelands House, lovingly edited for spelling by Mom. You can find my full review here.
Dumb Ways to Die by: Morgan Derickx Hey People you may remember me from my post in December about Top Ten Gifts for Tween Girls. Most of you may have been wondering stuff like, Why did that awesome Tween girl stop writing? or Thank goodness that tween stopped writing! Personally I prefer the first one but whatever. Anyway, a few days ago my friend introduced me to Dumb Ways to Die and it is hilarious! Sick in a twisted way but definitely hilarious! Watch this video now! Funny, right? There s an app for it on itunes but my mom says I have to update my iphone which is an original, hand-me-down, ANCIENT, unable to make a stupid phone-call phone and the app won t play on it. Hope somebody has fun with it. Top Ten Christmas Gifts for Tween Girls By Candace and Morgan Derickx Shopping for a tween girl can be stressful. Let s face it. They can be fickle little creatures. So, I sent my 10 year old daughter Morgan on a recon mission into the schoolyard to find out what tween girls really want this year. This is what she came back with. Morgan wrote the list, I added notes where necessary.
1) Laptops The most popular thing was surprisingly a laptop. Who knew? I did. 2) Make Up Kits Next up is a makeup kit. Ahhhh. were growing up so fast. 3) Cell Phones OMG I need a PHONE! Mom all of my friends have one!
4) Apple Products MOM can I have more ithings? Hee hee this is so fun. 5) A Dog Why can t a dog be a girl s best friend? Awwwwwwww look at that face who can resist? (Editor s Note: Most experts say that giving a dog for Christmas is the worst thing you can do. It should never be on a whim, but a conscious decision. Choose wisely.)
6) Gift Cards/Money Perfect for shopping sprees! (Editor s Note: These are also fun gifts for mom.) 7) Stompeez Who doesn t want cute motion-activated slippers!
8) Justice Clothes from Justice what a surprise? (Editor s Note: For those that don t know Justice is tween heaven and can sometimes look like someone threw up the 80s) (Morgan s Note: Mom, you re so old.) 9) One Direction Dolls Who can resist? Zayn you are so mine! (Editor s Note: Not a chance Morgan)
10) Guitar Let your tween rockout with their very own guitar!oh YEAH BABY! (Editor s Note: This mom suggests lessons to accompany said guitar or Advil) *sniffle*sniffle* It s been so fun but I need to leave the keypad (for now duh) but do take my advice because I just saved you so much trouble!
Bon voyage and a Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanukkah, Morgan Bio: Morgan is a precocious 10 year old who drives her mother crazy. She is also whip smart, gorgeous and the love of my life.
