    Family Friendly Entertainment with Wind at My Back #TMMGG16

    Family friendly entertainment is important to me. I know my kids see and hear things out in the world that I have no control over. But at home, I want to make sure that the shows we watch are pretty wholesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not All PG, All The Time. We’ll watch Marvel movies and on my own I watch The Walking Dead. But when we watch together, family friendly entertainment is the rule.   Family Friendly TV – Wind at My Back This Holiday Season why not give a gift set of one of the most family…

    Christmas Guide to Cover Everyone on Your List

    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…

    Christmas Bookmarks Printable

    So what are you reading? Right now I am reading Karma Brown’s second novel, The Choices We Make. It’s a page turner. Are your kids huge readers like mine are? Need some cute and festive Christmas bookmarks then?

    Gemmies Crystal Creations for Crafty Kids #TMMGG16

    Gemmies Crystal Creations are the craft du jour for crafty kids this year. If you have a crafty tween or teen then you know the struggle. I am always hunting for things to keep them busy. Oh it sounds nutty, but my thinking is this – give them crafts and things to keep their hands busy and they will be less likely to build baking soda volcanoes in the bathroom. Laugh it up, but that’s exactly what my kids would do. Craft kits like Gemmies Crystal Creations are crucial to my sanity. In fact, craft kits are a big part…

    The Breville Tea Maker is a new way for me and tea lovers like me to enjoy their favorite beverage. I’m a tea lover. I have been for as long as I can remember. My mom and grandmother were both big time tea drinkers, and I got that love from them. I love all kinds of tea – iced tea, hot tea, chai tea and tisanes too. You name a tea, I have probably tried it. That goes double for loose leaf teas. You just can’t beat them, especially in the cold weather. With the Breville Tea Maker, I can…
