One of the most terrific things living rural is the school bus system! We pop the kids on the bus in the morning and they are returned to us at the end of the day! It is bliss for us parents, but not the most favourite part of our kids day!
See, getting to school isn’t too bad as we are at the end of the pick up route. But coming home, we are ALSO at the end, which means their ride time is doubled.
Aside from reading on the bus (ooh queazy tummy) there isn’t much to do for a 45 min, journey over bumpy roads.
To keep her mind occupied (and her eyes open) my daughter brings her MP3 and listens to music or e-books. It doesn’t give her “bus sickness” like reading or homework, but also keeps her entertained.
Except, by the end of the day at school, her tech is about dried up!
Our back to school gift to her was a portable charger. The myCharge AMP-PLUS gives her up to 22hours of compact power and with a quick charge over night, it is ready to go in the morning. It works to charge smart phones, tablets, e-readers, MP3 players and even BT speakers, so you never have to be with power. The chargers range from 19.99 and up, and come in a small compact size, perfect for a backpack or purse.
We aren’t tech obsessed, but when we do log on, we want to make sure we are powered up. Not only will her charger be used to keep her entertained on the bus, but it can also keep us online during power outages, and other emergencies.
