A few months ago I mentioned on Facebook how I was fed up with the lack of storage on my iPhone. I know I'm not alone, as everyone gets the dreaded "insufficient storage" message while in the middle of the holiday play at your child's school, or during their 4 ...

The Amazing Things You Can Do With an hp Sprocket
When I signed up to be a Girl Scout troop leader this year, I wasn't too sure what to expect. Aside from being a teacher many years ago, I didn't have any experience with Girl Scouts. All I knew was they sold cookies and didn't amazing community projects. I dove deep into the Girl Scout world and learned the ropes with my new brownie troop alongside me. Since we only met twice a month for less than 2 hours, our projects have to be short and ...
Minecraft, Minecraft, Everywhere!
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free The Minecraft craze is going strong after a few years of it's introduction.

Deck the Halls with Peppa Pig and Friends!
It seems that over the past 5 years there has been a constant cartoon character that continues to be a favorite: Peppa Pig. My 7 year old, 4 year old, and even my 1 year old may not have similar tastes in many things, but when it comes to watching TV, I know Peppa Pig is the one show that engages them all. I'm still not sure what it is about the pink oinking character, but whatever it is she is doing something right because all these fans won't ...
All you need is love, and coffee..
Coffee.. I really don't have to say more. Just the word invokes a sense of calm, or a feeling that you can conquer everything on your to do list before 1pm. It's the sweetest "pick me up" and the best way to catch up with a friend. It's something to look forward to each morning. I always remember a fresh pot of coffee brewing each morning in my parent's house, but I didn't know the importance of coffee until I was a parent myself. You can say I ...
A Little Something for every PJ Masks Fan!
I've had a ton of fun wrapping presents with my girls these past two days. While it's unfortunate they are sick and couldn't attend school, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend time together and get some stuff done before the big day. I took each girl one at a time into the kitchen to help me wrap a present while the other girl kept their little brother busy and away from the big mess of wrapping paper, labels, and ribbon. It ...
We’re Dreaming of a PJ Masks Christmas
Are you almost done with your holiday shopping? I am, but I'm not. I should be done - my credit cards and my husband tell me I'm done. I've crossed everyone off my list, but then I see a sale or something I know someone will love in addition to what I've already purchased and I just have no restraint. Like when my preschooler said she wanted to get her BFF a pair of PJ Masks pajamas. How can I ignore that request, especially when I'm trying to ...

I can tell you what you NEED in your kitchen, what you WANT in your kitchen, and what you shouldn't even bother with. I've tried things from high end brands to cheaper finds and have been wowed, disappointed, and indifferent. When it comes to shopping this ...
