by JessPosted in Giveaways, Homeschool

There are many perks to the traveling lifestyle, but there are also a lot of activities and hobbies we have put on hold. When we were selling the house and most of our stuff, I looked longingly at the guitar I had bought 6 months previously. I had every intention of learning to play, but…

    This looks like an awesome product. I’d love to be able to play an instrument but haven’t yet learned. We have a piano and guitar at home and my kids love to “play” music. This seems like a great product on which all of us could learn a few songs and basics. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

  • Holly Boland

    Oh this is so neat. I’ve never seen a JamStik before. This would be great for my kids. They have been learning piano and just recently expressed an interest in the guitar. They listen to music and sing all the time. Thanks for the chance!ReplyCancel

  • Christopher Sorel

    Could start a band with my daughter that plays clarinet and son saxophone. Used to play guitar but it brokeReplyCancel

  • Kristen Privett

    This is SO great! My husband said he’s always wanted to learn to play guitar. My sons would love it too. Both my husband and I weren’t brought up with musical instruments, but we would like to change that with our boys. We do listen to different varieties of music daily. Thanks for the contest!ReplyCancel

  • Michele Reyes

    Mike from Ditching Suburbia mentioned you today and this post on the jamstick. This looks so cool. My husband has been learning guitar and I’d like to join him.ReplyCancel

    That balance bike looks great! My three year old has just started to get interested in the one he got for Christmas, and I’ve been kicking myself for not getting one with a hand brake for him. We love the greenway near our house for bike rides….but this summer we’ll be getting back to the Cape Cod bike paths that we haven’t been on in years–can’t wait!ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Awesome! Cape Cod does sound amazing!ReplyCancel

  • Adrianne

    My little is almost 18 months. I’m looking forward to getting a Woom 1 for him very soon. We’ll be riding on the Huckleberry biking path and through the woods at Pandapas Park, both in Blacksburg, VA. He’s small, so I’m hoping we can find a helmet that fits properly.ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Thanks so much for entering! This does sound like it would be a good helmet for him!ReplyCancel

  • Robyn V

    We just ordered our first 2 Woom bikes (1 & 2)over the weekend…highly anticipating their arrival. Our girls can do about 3 miles right now so we do our greenway trail and simple mountain trails. Heading to the Creaper Trail this summer.ReplyCancel

  • Sarah Rollmann Probasco

    Our 3 year old needs a better fitting helmet and we’d love to try a Woom! Especially because I accidentally pinched her cheek once and now she is so fearful of her current helmet. The magnetic closure looks awesome!ReplyCancel
