Help Track Your Mood with Moodivator
This post was developed in partnership with Pfizer as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Depression used to be a taboo topic. “Just snap out of it,” “Can’t you just BE happy!?” These are just two examples of insensitive phrases that have been said to people suffering from depression. Now that decades of studies have been conducted and we know that depression isn’t just a state of mind, more light has been shed on the ...
Disney Titles Just in Time For The Holidays!
Disney had a pretty great year in terms of movies. They came out with sequels that both kids and their parents would enjoy watching on family movies nights. Finding Dory made its way to BluRay/DVD and Digital Copy this past week. I remember watching Finding Nemo over a decade ago, so to see Finding Dory with my daughters brought everything full circle. Finding Dory takes us back to when Dory was a young fish. We always knew she had memory ...
A Cozy Underwater Adventure in Our Living Room
Our favorite Friday night activity is movie night. My girls get their favorite blankets, some snacks, and I choose a movie based on their interests. I no longer allow them to choose a movie because they have ruined movie nights by simply arguing the entire time that they didn't want to watch what the other chose. That's girls for you! Now that the weather is getting cooler, I needed to find ways to keep everyone warm in the living room during ...

An ode to a nostalgic toy with Bluebee Pals
When I was growing up I had an electronic teddy bear that would move his mouth when I inserted any cassette tape in him. He was my favorite toy and I've been searching for something similar for my children. Technology has come a long way, and cassettes have long been phased out, but the idea of a stuffed animal reading a children's book or singing a song is still possible with Bluebee Pals. Right out of the box, Bluebee ...
Teach Coding To Kids Without Using a Screen
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Primo Toys. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. I'm guilty of handing my children electronic devices when they ask for them. I believe they do have a lot to learn from electronics, but I also wonder if their creativity can be stifled by the constant stimulation of a screen. They've learned to use small robots to learn the basics of simple coding with ...
