How to Organize Your Auto Insurance Papers

I haven’t bothered organizing my Auto insurance and Auto registration papers into one place before. I didn’t really think of it until we needed them all at once when my husband (thank goodness it was not me) reversed out of our drive-away with a car door open and side swiped our other car at the same time. We were left with 2 cars damaged and one un-driveable as the door hung off. We had to find all the insurance papers whilst still kicking ourselves in the head as such a silly (expensive) mistake. I am not sure why I couldn’t stick it up with Duct tape but apparently the insurance wouldn’t cover me for that? What! Don’t they know how versatile duct tape is?

Meantime we have been waiting for 3 weeks for the door to come in and be put back onto the car. We have one week to go till it is back from the repair shop. When that one comes back the other car will go in. We didn’t have hire car cover in our insurance policy which means I have been having to take my husband to the train station as part of the morning school run. Not really a major issue but he is always late getting ready which means the kids get late for school.

By late I mean before the bell but with only minutes to spare. I like to be early when I arrive somewhere to allow for natural disasters, broken down cars, attacks by UFO’s and the driving over a 4 inch chisel as we experienced last week in the last car standing which sat at the tyre repair store for 48 hours (whole other story).

We are having bad run with cars at the moment but at least now I can find all my insurance papers in one-spot. Yeah!

The moon is always a fun topic for kids because it’s around all the time but always changing and there are lots of educational and crafting activities available to learn about the moon.

I’ve shared a few in the past, including this phases of the moon flip book and a project about coding the phases of the moon.

Check out some cool pictures of our moon, other moons, and what it might be like to live and work on the moon with these images from NASA. And you can learn about the moon landing from National Geographic Kids.

Learn about the phases of the moon and do these dot-to-dot worksheets for the different phases from Kids Activities Blog. I also love this homemade moon phases puzzle form What We Do All Day.

I Can Teach My Child has a fun experiment illustrating why there are craters on the moon, made with “moon dough” (flour and baby oil). Or you can make a clay moon and give it craters with this activity from Gift of Curiosity.

There are lots of fun ways to make moon rocks, including this dough and glitter version from Kids Activities Blog and fizzing moon rocks from Little Bins for Little Hands.

Speaking of fizzy science, Montessori from the Heart has a fun moon craft project that’s made with baking soda, vinegar and glitter. So you can talk about the acid/base reaction and learn about the moon at the same time you make a cool piece of art.

Or make this fun aluminum foil moon from Mom Brite.

Cinta and Co. has a cute phases of the moon art project and information you can download about the phases of the moon.

And of course you’ll probably want to make the classic Oreo moon phases craft/snack, which you can find at Teach Mama if you don’t know it already.

Add in some books about the moon (The Moon Book is a great one), a sensory bin with moon sand and astronaut characters, maybe a little walking with big steps like you’d take on the moon (and a discussion of why they walk like that) and your moon day will be complete!
