They don’t have insurance that covers unaccompanied minors if something were to happen. These other services such as Kango do have that. Which is another reason why prices are a bit high. (I’m a former Kango driver and also drove for 2 other companies doing the same thing)

I used to work for Kango, as well as Shuddle (before they ran out of funding) and HopSkipDrive. All of them required in person meetings/interviews before being allowed to drive, full vehicle inspection, DMV check, background check and fingerprinting and at least one if not all required… Read More

This has been mentioned in other comments but Chipotle is easy to make vegan, as is Freebirds (Freebirds has beyond meat at the one near me and used to have tempeh). I used to go to Habit Burger too and just ask for the Portobello Burger without the patty, and with no sauce or cheese.… Read More

A microfiber travel towel! They fold up super compact compared to regular towels (but still are quite large when unfolded) so it is easy to pack in any size bag. They dry very quickly. They can be used as shower towels if you’d rather have your own towel than use a hotel, airbnb or… Read More

Ketchum, Idaho, in the area better known as Sun Valley. I’ve never been there in winter which is what it’s known for but it was a very relaxing cute town to stay in for the summer. Plenty of delicious food, cute shops, a farmers market on Tuesdays at the base of the ski runs, a river… Read More

I'm not a parent but we spent a lot of time driving between SoCal and Idaho when I was a kid and what my mom did was make up a backpack full of goodies for each kid. Half were snacks (a ziplock of Goldfish, box of animal crackers, etc), wrapped in foil and half were small trinkets… Read More

I use fabric for all of my bulletin boards too! Looks nicer, and is much more durable than just butcher paper.

I have a sensory table (aka the "fun table") and a small trampoline. It works great when kids need a break or as a reward when they finish their assignments. The kids and I made slime (Gak) together as a class, and it also has different kinds of fidgets, stress balls (most homemade… Read More
