Here in Ohio, we're finally beginning to welcome cooler, fall temperatures. Well, sort of....It's been flip-flopping between being stuck in a furnace and cooler temperatures.
Thankfully, the past few days have been seasonably cool and comfortable, allowing me to break out some of my favorite, organic cotton fall fashions from prAna. I absolutely adore this brand, not only because their clothing is comfy and stylish, but also because they use fair trade practices, and sustainable, organic materials whenever possible. Why choose organic cotton over traditional cotton clothing? Well, there are quite a few benefits. For one, organic cotton is sustainably sourced, without the use of harsh, synthetic pesticides. This isn't good only for YOUR skin, but also for the farmers and workers that grow, care for, and harvest the cotton.

Are there any Star Wars fans out there?
Wait. That's a silly question. I can't think of another movie franchise as beloved and legendary as Lucasfilm's Star Wars series. In fact, my husband and all of my children have totally been bitten by the Star Wars bug, and I don't see any relief in sight. Thankfully, we were recently able to get an all new Star Wars fix with Lucasfilm's “Solo: A Star Wars Story". This is Han Solo's backstory, and is very helpful to watch when delving deeper into the Star Wars fandom. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, viewers get to know a younger Han Solo, and learn what makes him one of the fiercest, most epic characters in this series of films. Lucasfilm’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” directed by Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Ron Howard—the creator of unforgettable films, such as “A Beautiful Mind,” “Apollo 13,” “Parenthood” and “Splash”—took moviegoers on this summer’s wildest ride with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy, Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich). The action-packed journey explores Han’s first encounters with future friend and copilot Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and notorious gambler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), as well as his adventure-filled past alongside fellow street thief Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) and career criminal Beckett (Woody Harrelson). Watch instantly on Sept. 14th as theMillennium Falcon sets course digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and on Movies Anywhere, and bring the adventure home on Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand on Sept. 25. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” bonus content takes fans behind the scenes to experience compelling discussions with the star-studded cast and screenwriters Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan (writer of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi); a revealing feature on Chewie and his enduring friendship with Han; a close-up look at the original version of the Millennium Falcon and Han’s first time piloting the infamous ship; the creation of the film’s otherworldly settings and pulse-pounding action sequences; and eight never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Since we homeschool the littles using K12's Public School at Home program, we are always looking for ways to supplement our lessons and bring them to life, so to speak. It helps the kids learn to their fullest potential when they can enjoy hands-on experiences that supplement their lessons.
One class both kids absolutely love is music class. We have an incredibly musical household. So much, in fact, that rather than watching TV, we constantly have music playing instead. In fact, we cancelled cable, Netflix, and Hulu, since music and YouTube seem to serve our needs just fine. Recently, we found some great, affordable musical instruments from Amazon seller, E2E Corp. They are a Michigan based company, and are one of Amazon's Top 100 Sellers. (That means they're pros when it comes to both quality and customer satisfaction.) The awesome folks at E2E sent us a couple instruments to check out for ourselves. Keep reading to find out more!  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

Not in the heat of summer, of course, but any other time of year, they're just freezing?
Well, if you didn't know any "Freeze Babies", you do now. Hi, I'm Brandy, and I'm always freezing cold. Nice to meet ya! Anyway, now that fall is around the corner, I am starting to get all my warm-up essentials ready. I've got thick, furry socks, footie pajamas, and of course, tons of throw blankets. My current favorite blanket comes from the Amazon retailer, Honeymoon Home Fashions. I loved their sheets so much, I just had to try one of their super soft and fluffy Sherpa throw blankets, too! Review of Comfort & Relax Ventilated Memory Foam Bed Pillow with AirCell Technology #Partner9/20/2018  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Since we decided recently to update our sheets and other bedding, I figured it was also a great time to replace our pillows. Okay, MY pillows. I'm one of those weird people that sleeps with several pillows, creating a strange pillow "nest" around me.
So basically, I decided I needed a couple more pillows. For me. I felt like being selfish, okay? Anyway, when it comes to pillows, I'm pretty picky. I love Memory Foam, and prefer pillows that hold their shape well, conform to my head, neck and shoulders quickly and effectively, and if there's cooling technology? Well, that's an added bonus. After looking around at the many options that Amazon retailer, Comfort & Relax, has to offer, I decided to check out their Ventilated Memory Foam Bed Pillow with AirCell Technology, Standard, 2-Pack.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** I don't know about you, but when fall comes, I typically choose to update my decor, even if it is something as simple as changing out my linens and bedding to reflect the new season.
This year, I decided my bedroom, or boudoir, if you wanna be fancy with it, by focusing on warm, jewel tones like rich purples, reds, and darker greens and blues. One easy way to achieve the look of a whole new bedroom is to change up your bedding. A new sheet set, pillowcases and shams, and a new blanket and comforter can help create the illusion of a brand new space with minimal effort or expense!  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** One of the reason we chose to Homeschool our little ones is because we became painfully aware that our public schools tend to "water down" content, barely scratching the surface on many topics. Why? I don't know...Maybe it's because there's a lot to squeeze into one textbook....Maybe there are certain aspects of our history that are shameful, and they don't feel our kids need to learn the less shiny parts of how our nation came to be...
Whatever the reason for omitting a LOT of truly important material, it absolutely does happen. As a parent, it drives me batty. I find that I am constantly looking up supplemental materials to my kids' lessons so they can learn the WHOLE story. That's why I was excited to learn about "Absolutely Everything!: A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention" by Christopher Lloyd. This book offers a comprehensive look at the history of Earth, from the Big Bang to the ways in which we can shape the future, for readers ages 10–14.  This is a sponsored post. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Your kitten will choose to defecate in a specific spot from a very young age. For cats that are primarily indoors, there is the need to have a litter box. Before you start to litter train your cat, do some research about what it takes litter train your cat and any alternatives available.
Products Required To allow your kitten to use a litter box you need: 1. Litter box- the size of the litter box depends on the size and number of cats. You might need more than one litter box if you have more than one cats in the house. 2. Cat litter- there are many kinds of kitty litter that you can buy. Granulated kitty litter helps urine form neat clumps, but they tend to have a lot of chemicals. Sandy litter is more natural for your cat, but they tend to be tracked around the house quickly. 3. Litter scoop- you need to have special litter scoops. The scoops allow you to pick up the clumps without having to throw away clean litter. Training To train your kitten to use the litter box all you need to do is just leave the litter box in an accessible place. Kittens are usually drawn to the box out of curiosity. If your kitten does not go to the box by themselves, you can place your kitten in the box after meals. For smaller kittens, you can stimulate the motion by rubbing their anus with a wet piece of cotton. Keep the box in the place where your kitten might have defecated before. If your kitten has defecated somewhere outside the box, you can place a small piece inside the box. The smell will encourage your kitten to go to the box next time. If your cat is not taking to the box, they might need a vet visit, and you might have to buy cat medicine online to make them feel better. Pros When you litter train your cat, you can keep an eye on their poop and pee. If your cat is not doing well, then you can notice a change in their stool and urine. You can buy cat medicine online to give your cat if you see anything worrying in their stool or urine. Your cat can have access to the litter box even in your absence. Cons Your cat might scatter the litter all around the house. Usually, a cat does not engage in digging their litter unless something is wrong with them. You might need to buy cat medicine online if you notice your cat scattering litter around. Another disadvantage of your cat using the litter box is the fact that you have to clean the litter frequently or it might start smelling. If you have other animals or small children in the house, then the open litter box can be a way in which they can catch some disease. Alternative You can choose to toilet train your cat. There are special litter boxes that fit on the rim of the toilet. The toilet training litter boxes slowly encourage your kitten to use the toilet. Toilet training should be done when your kitten is slightly bigger. Small kittens will not be able to reach the toilet bowl and might fall inside by mistake. |
