 ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** When I was a kid in the 80's-90's, there were a handful of cartoons I was positively addicted to. Muppet Babies was one of them. I remember huddling with my brother around the TV and becoming captivated by whatever adventures the Muppet Babies were on, and our gasps whenever Miss Nanny came close to catching them. It was always fun, and who could forget that catchy theme song?!
If you loved the Muppet Babies as much as I did, I have great news for you and your little ones! Almost 30 years after the Muppet Babies first won the hearts of kids and families around the world, Disney Junior's reimagined "Muppet Babies" chronicles the hilarious playroom antics of a young Kermit the Frog, Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal – plus a brand-new Muppet Baby, Summer Penguin. Under the watchful eye of Miss Nanny, the Muppet Babies use their imaginations to embark on countless adventures that take them to the farthest corners of the universe and demonstrate to young viewers the power and potential of imaginative play.

 Smithsonian magazine has designated Saturday, September 22 as the 14th annual Museum Day, an initiative in which participating museums across the United States open their doors for free to those who download a branded ticket. The annual event allows museums nationwide to emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, D.C.-based facilities, which offer free admission every day.
Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors—it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities. It represents a national commitment to access, equity and inclusion. The theme of this year’s Museum Day is “Women Making History,” honoring women in society who are trailblazers in the arts, sciences, innovation and culture, and emboldening others to be pioneers as well. Museum Day 2018 invites participating museums to create programming to support this initiative. To help amplify this year’s theme and celebrate Women Making History, Smithsonian has partnered with Microsoft to create an original mixed reality experience. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will host the marquee program with the exclusive HoloLens experience and launch event featuring a Q&A session with an astronaut. “Now, more than ever, we recognize the importance of Museum Day in making our country’s knowledge and culture accessible to everyone,” says Amy Wilkins, Chief Revenue Officer at Smithsonian Media. “Given the strides women are making in society, our theme - Women Making History - encourages participating museums and museumgoers alike, to celebrate and honor the female heroines that help shape the world around us.” Museums in all 50 states have already signed up to participate in Smithsonian magazine’s 2018 Museum Day, the largest event of its kind. More than 1,300 museums are expected to participate this year. Those wishing to attend and participate in Museum Day 2018 can visit Smithsonian.com/museumday to learn more and download a Museum Day ticket beginning on August 15. Each ticket grants the ticket holder, and one guest, free access to any participating museum on September 22, 2018. One ticket is permitted per email address. A list of participating museums, which will be continually updated as more museums sign up, can be found at Smithsonian.com/museumday/search. For more information, visit Smithsonian.com/museumday. 
Growing up I think we all must have had a favorite teacher of ours. That one teacher who inspired us the most and taught us to not limit our potential and reach our goals.
Tom over at Tom's Take On Things remembers his favorite teacher. Her name was Mrs. Krnac, his 5th-grade teacher from Willow Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio. Tom attributes her to teaching him that nothing was impossible and that a dream could come true if you work hard enough at it.
Thinking about teachers from the past, and those who are teaching today, Tom wanted to do a giveaway that honors them for the sacrifices, dedication, and devotion they gave us and the students that are being taught today.
My favorite teacher was Debby West, my middle school chorus teacher. She took me under her wing and was there for me when no one else was. She literally treated me like a mother treats her children, and always joked that she was given a daughter even if it wasn't blood relation. She passed away a few years ago, and I miss her terribly.
One winner will receive both a $15 Staples Gift Card and a $10 Amazon Gift Card if you win this giveaway. You can keep it for yourself, shop for your kids, or maybe even donate it to a teacher who might need it. Giveaway is open to the U.S. Only and ends on 8/23 at 11:59 pm EST.

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Anyone who knows me in real life knows that music makes my world go 'round. This has always been the case, and remains true to this day. I sing, and we have a piano, a keyboard, and guitars for the kids to learn. I also love nothing more than to crank up my record player and listen to my favorite artists on Vinyl.
When I was a child, I have fond memories of attending band practices with my Dad, who just recently retired from gigging here on the Cleveland area music scene. He has played in bands since before I was born, and being surrounded by music and musicians growing up helped shape me as a person, allowing me to reach into parts of my soul that would be impossible to access without the magic of music. Now, I try to surround myself with as much music as possible. I attend TONS of concerts, whether they be huge, stadium filling shows or smaller, Indie artists' shows at awesome venues like Cleveland's own House of Blues. I dig every genre, every decade, and just love finding inspiration in the most authentic way possible: Through the language of music. Two of my absolute favorite artists are Cleveland's own Machine Gun Kelly and the oh-so-funky hippy, Mod Sun. Coincidentally, the pair happen to be besties in real life. Pretty awesome, if you ask me! Anyway, this past weekend, I had the opportunity to see them BOTH at Machine Gun Kelly's annual event, ESTFest. To help get me geared up for this absolutely epic weekend festival, I got some brand new, custom phone cases from YourCustomPhoneCase.com.  ***The product, information, and gift card have been provided by A&W so that I could try the product and share my thoughts and information about A&W Root Beer.

Well, it is! And what better way to celebrate the end of summer break than with an A&W Root Beer Float party? Root Beer Floats are a classic that has remained a treat for generations, and for good reason: Root Beer Floats are amazing. After all, who can resist the taste-bud pleasing combo of bubbly root beer and creamy, vanilla ice cream? No one? Exactly. They're just that amazingly good.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

After all, when technology and convenience merge, beautiful things happen: Kids learn and become more engaged, and our lesson plans can literally come to life, right there on our screens.
That's one reason I'm super excited to learn about the new HP Envy x360 Laptop, which is a fantastic new addition to the HP family of products at Best Buy!

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** When I was a kid, my favorite gaming experiences all seem to have involved a little dude named Mario and his pals. Whether it was on our classic NES system, the SNES, Nintendo 64, or eventually Game Boy and Game Boy Color, I always loved to play any of the Super Mario Bros. games.
My kids? Well, the games and systems are a bit more on the advanced side, but the kids all love Mario and friends just as much as I did. They have an advantage, though, since the Nintendo 3DS offers graphics that were the thing of dreams back in my day. Yep. According to the kiddos, I am an ancient relic, and it's a near miracle that I'm even still alive. Anyway, since Mario type games are always a huge hit, my kids were beyond thrilled when they received Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for their Nintendo 3DS system. They also received an adorable Toad plushie that they now carry around literally everywhere. |
