We all remember all of the lessons we got to study as small children. Some of the definitions, such as the cell definition, are sick in our minds even years after we first read them. We cannot guarantee it would be the same for our kids, but there are some methods and techniques that may help you teach your children to love studying, and the best way to start the journey is to teach them how to love nature. When you encourage your children to ...

How Can You Save 18 Lives Each Year?
Have you ever donated blood? I've always known the importance of blood donation and often attended blood drives in my community, but it wasn't until my own mother had to have a blood transfusion that I truly felt the impact of blood donation. There's never enough donated blood, and I can't say that I've ever heard that hospitals and blood centers have an abundance of blood; you always hear there is a need and drives are held frequently. How many ...
Our Kids Have SEEN ENOUGH Tobacco Ads. It’s Time for Change
This post was sponsored by Tobacco Free New York State as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. All opinions expressed in my post are my own. I'm about to get a little judgemental in this post, so if you are a smoker and you're easily offended, maybe you should look away. Or, maybe this is the reality check you need. I still don't understand with so much knowledge and awareness about the dangers of cigarette smoking, people ...
Earn up to $1,000 for Your Child’s Soccer Team Through #PassTheLoveBack! ad #IC
My oldest is at that age where she's into sports and organized activities. She wants to be involved in everything, and we don't mind giving each activity a fair shot until she's found the one she loves. During any organized activity she's participated in, fundraising is a huge aspect. From raising money to purchase supplies or sports clothes, to bigger projects like stadium fees and more, our kids rely on the ...
Cohen’s Cares About Protecting Your Child’s Vision!
A few months ago I took my daughter for a routine eye exam and was a little shocked at the price we paid AFTER our insurance was taken into consideration. She didn't have any issues, I just wanted to make sure her eyes were working properly since my husband and I both wear glasses. While I'm really thankful for insurance and low premiums, I felt that paying the equivalent to a week's worth of groceries just for an eye exam was a bit ...
Teaching Kids to Give Back With Fiskars! #Fiskars365
Teaching kids about the importance of giving back has always been an interest of mine. I worked with middle and high schoolers who always seemed to come together when it was time to give back to their community. Now that I have my own children, I want to instill those same beliefs in them. Although my oldest is still very young, she understands why we give back and knows that there are people out there in less fortunate situations that may need ...

It’s That Time Of Year! #Tools4BTS #sponsored @BGCA_Clubs
I can't believe school is starting in just two weeks! I'm definitely not ready, but as I realize that the time is ticking away, I still need to prepare my daughter for her first year of full time school. We talk about school often, and she mentions how much she misses her 2 half days a week preschool, but she has no idea what is in store for her in a full day school. She actually requested to go to school for more hours and more days a week, and ...
