As kids enter the later years of grade school, they are introduced to the world of technology, coding, and computers. Sure, kids get a lot of experience with technology before this age, but schools start teaching classes with background information. Sphero SPRK is a unique learning tool for technology that incorporates technology learning with fun. I remember when I was growing up in a world of new technology where owning robots ...
Back to School 2015
Braun Now Offers a No-Touch Thermometer!
Back to school season means the inevitable virus, infection, or illness is sure to follow. Last year my oldest had 7 strep infections and we were housebound for most of the winter season. Unfortunately her doctor has recommended her tonsils be removed if she has just 1 more strep infection. We are crossing our fingers that last year was just a bad year overall, and hopefully we can leave her tonsils where they belong. Along with her infections ...
Fall Styles, Just in Time for #BTS2015 at the @ChildrensPlace
Back to school shopping has commenced and my girls are getting excited to use their new supplies, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and wear their new clothing. Right now I'm "the mean mommy" because I'm not letting them wear their new threads until school has actually started. I don't want them starting off their new year with faded, stained, or ripped clothes, which inevitably happens when kids are busy being kids. Thankfully The ...
Washable Shoes from Stride Rite! Made2Play
This back to school season it's all about being trendy while also being comfortable. My girls are true girlie girls and wouldn't sacrifice their fashion for comfort. I'm not sure where they get it from, because I'm ALL about the comfort. I'd take a pair of sneakers over stylish boots any day. I can totally appreciate their fashion sense, though, and love that their personality shines through in their clothing. When I found out that Stride ...
Starting off the school year with Peppa Pig
I can't believe my second daughter will be headed to school in just a few weeks. It's not mandatory she goes, but she's been begging to go to school and I'm sure breaking up the daily monotony and socializing her will be a good thing for all of us. She's way more excited to start school than I am about letting her go, but I won't let her know that. Instead, I celebrate her excitement with her and let her choose her back to school ...
My Favorite Apps for Staying Organized
As the new school year begins, staying organized is my top priority. I rely on my phone a lot and various apps to help me stay on track, and I'd love to share some of my favorite apps with you. Saving money and sifting through weekly circulars is something I do every Thursday. As soon as those weekend flyers come in, I'm already looking through my go-to shops and making lists that I hope I won't forget about. And then I lose my list, ...
Great Back to School Deals from @LoveFabKids #FabKidsBackToSchool
For the past few months we've been enjoying some cute fashion from FabKids. This back to school season it was my 3 year old's turn to pick out an outfit from FabKids and my oldest daughter got to pick out rain boots. Since my 3 year old still lets me choose her clothes, most of the time, I thought this adorable navy blue outfit with white hearts paired with green leggings would look great on her. She's my tomboy princess, and this outfit truly ...
Entrusting @Sandisk from @BestBuy for My Important Files #ad #SanDisk
Storing my precious pictures and important files has been a little daunting. I'm always afraid the option I entrust to these electronic files will somehow fail me, and I will lose my items. Surely I can't be the only one who worries about this. Since I've started using memory cards in my camera, SanDisk is a name I've learned to trust over the years. I have many memory cards storing our memories... even though I really should be printing those ...
