    All New Kindle Oasis is Here Just in Time for the Holidays

    December 6, 2017 /

    The all new Kindle Oasis is here, and it’s the most advanced model ever released. That’s great news for book-lovers everywhere. So many things I love about the Kindle Oasis. Here are two: it’s made just for reading and it’s waterproof. The Paperwhite display means you can read with it in the dark, or in the brightest sunlight with no glare. And the fact that it is waterproof is brilliant! That’s important when you carry your reader everywhere like I do. Happy to report the all new Kindle Oasis features some new bells and whistles that have me more excited than ever before to use a Kindle. I’ve been a…

    Keep it Together with Tile #Tileit

    March 29, 2017 /

    Keep it together! That’s something I tell myself quite often. As a mom of two, wife, blogger, social media consultant and avid traveler, I’m often on the go. I’m also occasionally frazzled. I can’t count how many times I’ve lost my keys – both in the house and out in the world – or misplaced my phone. It’s a frantic dash to find those things that I need in a day and yet somehow manage to lose. These days, life is a little easier on me, though. I’ve started using Tile to help me keep it together. Keep it Together at All Times We’ve all done it. You were frantic…

    January 4, 2017 /

    Online activity can be a scary proposition for parents. What are your kids seeing? What are they hearing? Who or what are they interacting with? With the ability to open up browser windows that never save data or history, your child’s online activity can be a frightening thing indeed. What if you know very little about social media, or computers? Maybe you have no real clue how to check Snapchat or Instagram Stories to view what they are sharing and doing. Don’t worry, this post is intended to help. There are ways to help keep tabs on your child’s web surfing. Monitoring Online Activity for Safety There’s no end to the…

    Christmas Guide to Cover Everyone on Your List

    November 18, 2016 /

    We could all use a bit of help figuring out what to gift this time of year. A Christmas guide is a useful tool. With so many people on our respective lists and so many different interests, it can be hard to get the right gifts for everyone. It seems that every year, we fall more and more into the “gift card rut,” that place where we say, “You can’t go wrong with a gift card.” While gift cards are great to receive, it’s always nice to give a physical gift. This Christmas guide features companies than span the gifting spectrum to help make sure you’ve got your entire list covered. A…

    Make Back to School Rock with Monster Headphones #BTS

    August 26, 2016 /

    It’s the most musical time of the year. Kidding. Moms and Dads might feel like dancing but tweens and teens, probably not so much. But this year my girls felt like dancing when these Monster headphones arrived for Back to School season here at my house. These beauties landed in my office when the kids were at camp and I was super excited to let them pick which ones they each wanted when they returned.

    Cyber Threats – Protect Yourself and all Your Devices

    August 20, 2016 /

    I am part of the PTPA Brand Ambassador Program with ESET, and I received compensation as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions in this blog are my own.  Cyber threats are frightening and a reality for anyone who owns a computer, tablet or cell phone. Cyber threats are one of the most worrisome encroachments on our personal lives we face these days. Between ransomware and backdoor key logging malware, cyber threats can and do infiltrate our daily lives. While most of them are only nuisances, there is still possibility of disastrous life changing occurrences like identity theft and financial theft.   It’s important to protect yourself from cyber threats,…

    Summer Reading Adventures with KOBO Aura H20

    June 6, 2016 /

    Summer is my favourite time for reading. I love to take my reader to the beach or just sit next to the pool and read a good book. I enjoy a good story year round, but there’s nothing nicer than a beautiful sunny day with a favourite book. Much of my summer revolves around the beach and the pool. This year I don’t need to worry about getting splashed poolside, or dropping a book in the water because I have my waterproof Kobo Aura H20 to do all my summer reading. Summer Reading Means Fun in the Sun – and Even in the Water I love the summer. Love it.…
