I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in the Cleveland, OH area, it's been H-O-T. Sauna-like, even. During the summer, I take extra care to make sure that my family stays in tip top shape, despite the nasty, oppressive summer temperatures. Thankfully, the folks at Superior Source also has some awesome supplements to help you beat the heat! 

The best part about these microlingual tablets is that they don't have to be swallowed. This is a good thing for a few reasons: For one, a lot of folks, like my husband, have a hard time swallowing even the tiniest of pills.

Also, since these tablets dissolve under the tongue, they retain their potency. When swallowing traditional supplements, their potency can be greatly reduced due to the acrid environment in the stomach. The folks at Superior Source have bypassed this common issue, ensuring that their products live up to their name.

Here are some great supplements designed specifically to keep you looking and feeling your best, from the inside-out....Even during oppressive, summer heat! 

The year was 2015 and Oregon momptrepreneurs Taya Geiger and Leah Tutin were in the Shark Tank to pitch Scratch & Grain Baking Company, their highly innovative line of baking kits featuring individually-packaged and measured gourmet ingredients with such easy-to-use numbered and color coding, even children could feel like pastry chefs.

Passing acquaintances before starting their business, the two women were now firmly united in the pursuit of two equally daunting but decidedly thrilling goals: to walk out of the Tank with a Shark in their corner, and to parlay their extraordinary television debut into a brand that would at long last redefine the baking mix category and make homemade baking for the entire family easier, tastier and healthier than ever before.

As fans of Shark Tank and Scratch & Grain know well, Taya and Leah not only struck a deal with Barbara Corcoran (entailing a $150K line of credit for 20% equity) and were later featured on Beyond The Tank, but have indeed taken their all-natural and organic line of cookie, brownie, cupcake, cornbread, muffin
and pumpkin kits to amazing heights in little more than two short years. Today, in fact, what began with two baking-challenged Moms asking the question that's led to so many entrepreneurial breakthroughs over time–Couldn't we do this better?–is now a beloved, rapidly-growing brand sold online as well as in more 5,000 stores nationwide.

As Taya (who now runs the company on her own as CEO) recalled recently,
"Being a lifelong foodies, Leah and I had very high standards for everything we ate and served our kids. We thought that each dish or dessert should be amazing and have a true wow! factor. If we couldn't get a reaction along the lines of thats the BEST chocolate chip cookie I've ever had, then it wasn't good enough for us. Fortunately, Barbara Corcoran supported our vision, and I'll be forever grateful to her, the entire Shark Tank team and all of the loyal consumers who ve taken us so far, so fast!"

I have SUPER exciting news for all my gamers out there!

July is National Ice Cream Month, and Thirty-One Gifts is celebrating with a newly released ice cream print available on several products, as well as ice cream bowls and special ice cream cone and popsicle personalization, available only in July.

The new ice cream print, Sweet Sprinkles, is offered in three products – their best-selling Large Utility Tote, the Double Duty Caddy, and Oh-Snap Bin. The ice cream cone and popsicle embroidery may be put on most products, along with text such as a name, phrase, or meaningful message for gift-giving. When combined with the new Get the Scoop Bowl Set, customers are ready for entertaining in sweet summer style.

We received a fantastic variety of these new products, and decided to celebrate National Ice Cream Day in style. Well, that and the fact that my 17 year old got a job today at the local mall food court. LOTS of reason to celebrate here, and Thirty-One Gifts makes it all the more festive!

This past week, my husband celebrated a milestone birthday. He turned the big 4-0. (I'm dreading that number myself, I won't even lie.) Anyway, Dan didn't want anything super fancy for his big day. His request was a day in the yard, with the fam and a few friends. 

We set up speakers and had music playing, and the adults talked on the deck while the kids had a blast on their new splashtastic water attractions, courtesy of the awesome folks at Bestway H2OGO! 

Founded in 1994, Bestway specializes in the supply chain of inflatable sporting and leisure products. Bestway is committed to the development, production, and sales of high quality and innovative products to meet the needs of people from all walks of life. Their product range includes above ground pools and spas, inflatable air mattresses, inflatable boats and every day inflatable swimming products. There's literally something for every family, as well as any budget. 

In my household, we try to keep our diets as healthy as possible. We try to avoid eating too much "junk food". In fact, my kids actually prefer things like fresh fruits and veggies over prepackaged snack cakes, cookies, etc. 

That's right. My kiddos actually LIKE veggies. I tease them and tell them they're my little bunnies, and I'm the Mama Bunny. 

Anyway, we do our best to keep things as wholesome and natural in our home. From snacks to meals to a quick bite on the go, I try to make sure I have plenty of natural and organic options on hand. That's why we love, love, LOVE the freeze-dried fruits and veggies from Karen's Naturals! 

Now that summer is in full swing and travel plans have been made, there's one thing no family really plans for....

The "Summer Sickies". That's what we call summer illness, at least. 

There's nothing worse than being off at the beach, amusement park, or even Grandma's house, and hearing those dreaded words: "Moooom...I feel SICK." So while we never plan on encountering the Summer Sickies on our adventures, it is something we always try to be prepared for. 

That's why, in addition to our swimsuits, snacks, and other summer fun must-haves, I also pack some sensible things, like Manuka Honey and Aloe(for burns), Electrolyte drinks, and of course, our Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner™. 

The TemporalScanner™ is the easiest, simplest, least invasive way to get accurate temperature readings, even from the most squirmy, restless kiddos.
