✈️ Travel Tip Tuesday
For the next several weeks, we will be providing travel tips & highlighting travel specialization professionals from our Local Travel Agents Guide!

Jess with Navigating Adventure Travel
Jess specializes in Latin American travel and offers free language tutoring for those who book with her. She also has experience traveling in hostels on a budget, and is happy to provide all of the travel hacks she's learned.

Her tip for travelers: If you’d like to avoid the touristy peaks in Latin America—specifically Argentina and Brazil—going during the U.S. summer months is perfect, as it’s winter there.

Pumpkin Spice Sensory Dough 🎃

I made this for my kids last year (still have the original batch, it’s just not as soft anymore) and plan to make more this year! It smells REALLY good and has a great texture. I got several fall and Halloween-inspired objects to use with it, including the plastic hands featured at the end of the video.

Recipe below from
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 Tbsp. Cream of Tartar
• 1 tsp. Pumpkin Spice Seasoning
• 1 Tbsp. oil
• 1 cup boiling water
optional: food coloring

The original recipe mixes all the dry ingredients together and the wet ingredients together separately, which I didn’t read until after I started pouring everything 🫣 but it still turned out fine! 😅
