    Online Safety and Snapchat

    October 27, 2016 /

    Online safety is a big deal, and Snapchat has become one of the more concerning apps for parents of tweens and teens. Because users of SnapChat can specify a time frame that a picture will stay on the server, online safety is a concern with this app.   What is SnapChat ? For those of you who don’t know, SnapChat is a video messaging app which allows users to take photos, videos, and add text or drawings and then send them to other users. This media – known as “Snaps” can be set up with a time limit on how long it can be viewed by the recipient. After that time,…

    This Reality Show Called Adoption Life

    September 23, 2016 /

    “I’m thinking about adopting.” At least once a week I read a message like this from someone wanting information about adoption. I am open. I talk and write about adoption here often. Friends know I will always answer. And I do. I find them resources, or answer their questions about why, or how long, or where do I go? Sometimes I simply let them know that the wait is worth it. I answer the questions one by one and hope others will follow through and discover all that I love about adoption. There are many roads to parenthood. BOTTOM LINE. There will always be children in need of stable and loving…

    Kid-Friendly Internet with KidsWifi #Giveaway

    September 18, 2016 /

    Creating a Kid-friendly space to use the internet is something most parents are after. The web is a great place full of knowledge, creativity, and new ideas. It can also be a dark place filled with vulgar language, images, and videos. The worst part is that it’s so easy to quickly jump from something benign to something your kids can’t unsee. All it takes is a search for one thing, a click, and suddenly, kid-friendly internet becomes a scary space filling our children’s minds with images and questions that we weren’t prepared to answer just yet. Keeping the Internet Kid-Friendly Of course, safety comes in the form of filtering out unwanted content for…

    Fresh Family Meals From Chef’s Plate

    September 12, 2016 /

    There’s no Mom, or Dad for that matter, who isn’t familiar with the dinner hour panic that goes a little something like this. Work all day, busy putting out fires, then suddenly you look at the clock and realize it’s 4:30 or 5 p.m. and you didn’t plan dinner. You didn’t thaw any meat or protein and you have nothing planned. Around here that’s a regular kind of feeling and it’s not much fun. So when Chef’s Plate contacted me with some fresh family meal ideas delivered straight to my home I was excited to check the service out. There are multiple reasons I loved Chef’s Plate and am thinking about…

    WillLand Outdoors Backpacks That Bring It #BTS

    August 31, 2016 /

    Whether it’s school or travel there’s always a reason to have a good quality backpack at the ready. I am thrilled this year to have WillLand Outdoors backpacks for the kids as they return to school, and as we embark on our fall and winter travels. My oldest daughter started grade nine last year with a super fun anime style backpack that she bought at the beach with her babysitting money. It was adorable. BUT…and we all saw this coming…it broke before Halloween. It was fun and cute, but cutesy isn’t always what you need when you lug massive math and science textbooks back and forth five days a week.…

    Playing Sports – Leveling the Field for Girls #PlayOnCA #Giveaways $60 ARV

    August 29, 2016 /

    My kids are both athletic young women. Staying physically active, playing sports and striving to do your best – well, that’s something we take to heart as a family. Whether it’s swimming, martial arts or track and field, sports matter to the health of both boys and girls. When kids get out on the field or the court, they learn teamwork, develop a better work ethic, get into better shape, and boost their self confidence. Unfortunately, girls are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to playing sports. With less opportunities and less variety, girls often have to take what they can get. Playtex Sport wants to change that and…

    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.

    I have a super sporty 12-year-old, so when I heard about Limeapple Back to School Girl’s Clothing Gift Packages I knew that we’d found a winning combination of style and function. My daughter Ainsley is always on the run, and she’s often on the go with us traveling too. I love that she is more athletic than I have ever have been and she challenges me to strive to be stronger and more fit every day. Because she is always on the go, I need girl’s clothing that keeps up with this fast paced active child and I need it to be fashionable as well. No 12-year-old girl every wants to sacrifice…
