We lodged at Linneman’s Ridge, a Broken Bow luxury cabin located on a secluded 1.5-acre lot surrounded by 100’ pine trees and amazing views from a two-story deck.

This cabin is brand new and perfect for a family of four, two couples, or a girls trip. This cabin features a double master suite layout with luxury amenities, a wraparound balcony, two fireplaces, a fire pit, games, and a hot tub.

AD | It's not a secret that I struggled in math as AD | It's not a secret that I struggled in math as a child.  Now as a mom, I am trying to make sure my daughter doesn't follow suit. With possible pandemic learning loss, I want ways to help her improve her critical thinking skills - especially when it comes to math.  Have you heard of @EyeLevelEducation? They are one of the leading global supplemental education service with global networks of 20 countries.
Eye Level provides Math and English program based on self-directed learning instructions. With locations across the USA, they are available to help families across the nation.  Not quite ready to come inside a learning location? No problem - Take advantage of Eye Level On Air!  Your child can receive the same coaching service from the instructor, with the same booklets - but at home.   My daughter finds the systematic Eye Level booklets and colored block math tools fun! Colored blocks help her master fundamental math concepts, including addition and patterning, multiplication, division, fractions and more. These hands-on manipulatives are boosting her confidence and making math fun for both of us - which is a win in my book!
