Okay, so I'm definitely giving away my age here, but when I was a kid, one of the cartoons I always looked forward to watching was She-Ra. I always had to watch tons of my little brother's shows, so She-Ra was time for GIRL POWER. 

I have some awesome news for anyone else who may remember this epic series with fond memories. She-Ra is back, and coming to NETFLIX.

​Oh, and it's arriving tomorrow, November 13th! How cool is that?!  

Inspired by the popular ‘80s animated series, DreamWorks She-Ra and the Princesses of Power tells the epic story of an orphan named Adora, who leaves behind her former life in the evil Horde when she discovers a magic sword that transforms her into the mythical warrior princess She-Ra. Along the way, she finds a new family in the Rebellion as she unites a group of magical princesses in the ultimate fight against evil.

It's almost Thanksgiving!

One thing people always give thanks for is their good health. I know I'm the healthiest I've been in many years, thanks for some positive lifestyle changes over the past couple of years. To help celebrate the month of Thanksgiving, I'd like to talk about an easy, absolutely painless way to help promote overall wellness: Getting the right supplements! 

People of all ages take vitamins to supplement the vitamins and minerals that we can’t always get or get enough of from the foods we eat. That’s why you want to choose the cleanest, purest on the market today that are also GMO-Free. You can have absolute confidence in choosing Superior Source Vitamins, who maintains strict quality control standards. They have over 180 vitamins for the entire family–mom, dad, kids and even grandparents! 
​
Best of all, Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual® with “Under the Tongue Technology” that works fast, and are quickly absorbed into the body, dissolving in seconds. Did you know that...by swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach? With Superior Source, this is no longer a problem! 

With the Holiday shopping season upon us, I am always looking for gifts that keep on giving. Toys lose their novelty, and often get tossed to the side to collect dust once the Holidays are through. Socks and underwear are great, but kids like to have fun, and well....Clothing just isn't for many children.

I think my daughter is the exception, as she actually wants clothing now. Guess this may be a preview of the teen years. 

One gift I always try to give is the gift of knowledge. National Geographic Kids impressive collection of books are always at the top of our gift lists, since these books are creative, packed full of facts that are presented in a vivid, kid-friendly way, and they help supplement our homeschool instruction, too! 

Our favorite books from National Geographic Kids would have to be their absolutely epic Weird But True! series. These books are just what they sound like, as they teach kids things that seem so weird that they couldn't possibly be real, but ARE. Each book comes with awesome pictures and 350 mind-blowing facts! 

Entertaining and brain bending facts, coupled with visually stunning and eye popping photos and graphics, are the reason why the 35+ titles in the National Geographic Kids Weird But True! book franchise are considered the gold standard in educational, entertaining books for kids.  With over 5 million copies sold, published in over 15 different languages, and featuring a broad range of topics from science to food to pop culture, Weird But True! books nab kids’ attention and get them reading. 

Now, with the release of the 10th book in the Weird But True! main series, things just got WEIRDER and it’s time to celebrate! 

Could your kitchen use a pick me up? I know mine sure could! One easy way to upgrade your kitchen's style is by switching out your appliances for some shiny-or in this case, not so shiny, new ones! 

The Café Matte Collection by GE is a fabulous option that's sure to bring ultra-premium quality to the masses at an affordable price. Bring out your own personal style this entertaining season, and for many years to come! These appliances are loaded with convenience features, and come in both Matte Black and Matte White. 

With a luxe look and a smudge-resistant, soft-touch feel, Matte White allows owners to create pops of brightness against dark cabinetry or a seamless blend in an all-white kitchen. The soft luster and warmth of the Matte White finish offers a fresh approach to a staple kitchen color. I think it's beautiful, don't you? 

In my home, we love gaming. A lot. In fact, the clear favorite game franchise in our family would have to be Mario Bros. and their many affiliated games for the Nintendo family of gaming systems. Everyone, from young to ancient, can't get enough of this pair of plumbers and their pals. 

So when we learned that the GameCube classic, Luigi's Mansion, was now available for the Nintendo 3DS, we were all really excited. This classic, spooky tale now with awesome 3D graphics?! Sign us up! 

My awesome friends at Nintendo hooked us up not only with a copy of this fantastic, retro classic, but also with an adult Luigi costume and a special SUPER bright flashlight, which is inspired by this game. PERFECT, and just in time for Halloween! 

With Halloween lurking right around the corner, how much fun would it be to try your hand at some spooky, Halloween crafting?! Zombies are all the rage thanks to certain movies and TV shows, so this would actually make a fantastic gift for any Zombie superfans out there, too! 

Zombie Cross-stitch (August 2018; ISBN: 978-1684124121; $19.99) includes a 64-page book with an overview of basic techniques and instructions for creating a dozen cross-stitch patterns, plus all the materials needed to complete two projects. From baby bibs and pillow covers to office signs and door hangers, this light-hearted kit will inspire crafters to bring their favorite zombies into the land of the living.

Do you enjoy playing games with your family? We sure do! In fact, as a hip, homeschooling family, games are interwoven into our everyday lives. If they're fast-paced, educational games? Even better.

You see, I'm a firm believer that kids learn more efficiently when they're having fun doing it, so I'm always looking for ways to shake things up a little. Family game nights with a focus on educational games always fit the bill perfectly. Plus, quality time with the kids? Added bonus! 

So when RoosterFin Games reached out to me to introduce me to their amazing, teacher created family games, I was definitely excited! Teachers GET kids, man. They do. So I was excited to see that Joe, a former teacher, brought his expertise to the table to create fun, simple to learn games that also help fine tune skills kids need to thrive.

(Math. He sneaks math into these games, folks.) 

RoosterFin Games offers a great variety of games, so you're sure to find the perfect games to enjoy with your family, or for gifts this Holiday season! 

If I don't have my coffee in the mornings, I'm not pleasant to deal with. In fact, I'm like a grumpy, slightly incoherent, confuzzled lump that vaguely resembles a human being. 

Okay, so that's obviously a slight exaggeration. I'm still human, but I don't ever feel ready to tackle the day without my coffee, or as my kids call it, "Mommy Go Juice". I always prefer to wake up gently, while sipping away at my favorite coffee beverage. 

Lately, Cold Brew coffees have been all the rage, so when the awesome folks at JAVA HOUSE® contacted me about their Authentic Cold Brew Coffee, I couldn't wait to check it out!

With the Holiday season quickly approaching and Football season in full swing, there are about 5,395 reasons to get together with family and friends. After all, there's nothing better than sharing laughs, food, and drink with those we love, or screaming at the TV when your team loses. In Cleveland, we're used to losing. A LOT. Cleveland losses don't phase us here, one bit. 

Anyway, one way to help make your seasonal gatherings even more epic is by upgrading your home's sound system. Everything is more enjoyable with crystal clear, perfectly balanced sound, after all. 

When I think of superior sound, one name comes to mind: Bose. This trusted brand has some great new offerings, which you can find at your local Best Buy this season.
