Fireside Reflections: A Papa’s Lessons for a Successful Life
Written by Alan Dahl; Illustrated by N/A

Fireside Reflections shares a Papa’s journey as he offers wisdom, fosters a strong bond between generations, and nurtures a deeper understanding of life’s experiences.

Alan Dahl believes the world would be a bit brighter if daily we all applied the lessons that we should have learned when we were younger. As he looks into the past post-retirement, he not only reflects on the things he did well, but also the mistakes he made and lessons learned as a result. Now he is ready to share his wisdom with his grandchildren – and anyone else interested in listening to someone who has walked the trail of life before them.

Through a series of heartfelt reflections, Dahl leans on his personal experiences to impart valuable teachings to the younger generation. Set in a cozy glow of firelight, he offers his Littles lessons and insights for navigating life’s choices and challenges while encouraging personal growth. Through his timeless wisdom, Littles will learn how to use their smarts to dig deep and know what is really going on around them, why failing is an essential part of realizing success in life, how to achieve financial independence, preserve relationships, align with God’s plan, and much more.

CrunchLabs Build Box

The CrunchLabs Build Box is a monthly STEM toy subscription service aimed at kids 8-12+, although older kids and adults love it too. Each box comes with all the pieces and parts necessary to make a STEM toy, and every box is accompanied by a video from YouTuber Mark Rober (you might recognize him from his Glitterbomb or Squirrel maze videos). The video explains how to complete the build as well as the STEM concepts at play and how they function in the real world.

We want to teach kids how to think like an engineer and learn not only the STEM concepts, but also how to frame their thinking to view roadblocks as challenges to overcome on the way to success, not as failures.

What’s included:
– A new build-it-yourself toy each and every month
– Unlock a fun and educational 15-30 minute video from Mark Rober with every box to become an engineering superhero
– Each box contains a chance to win a Platinum Ticket – a trip to CrunchLabs to meet & create with Mark Rober*
