Do I have any gamers out there that LOVE Skylanders? I know my kids flip over Skylanders Imaginators, and are always looking forward to new characters and levels to expand their  gaming experience. This year, just in time for Easter, Skylanders has an awesome new release.

The Skylanders Imaginators Cursed Tiki Temple Level Pack gives players over 100 new offerings and a brand new level!  This will definitely keep Sophie and Xander busy during Spring Break! 

We were lucky enough to receive a sneak peek at this brand new level. 

Included in the Skylanders Imaginators Cursed Tiki Temple Level Pack are the following components:
​

• Wild Storm Knight Class Sensei
• Life Creation Crystal
• Imaginite Mystery Chest

When Sophie and Xander saw this funtastic package, they were immediately super excited, and couldn't agree on who would get to use the Life Creation Crystal. You see, Xander has a way of hogging these crystals, leaving nothing for his sister. 

This time, Sophie got to claim the Creation Crystal and Mystery Chest, and Xander got to use the Wild Storm Sensei . It took about an hour of negotiation, but everyone ended up happy. That's all that matters, right? 

Sophie and Xander have been having a blast exploring this all new level. The Tiki Temple level is full of fun new surprises and adventures, and offers players tons of opportunity to grow their characters. (The Mystery Chest offers 80+ new body parts, weapons, etc to help your characters grow as they battle!) 

If your littles are as Skylanders obsessed as mine are, be sure to check out this wonderful and exciting new offering. The Skylanders Imaginators Cursed Tiki Temple Level Pack would be fantastic in Easter Baskets, or even for a Spring Break treat! 

Skylanders Imaginators Cursed Tiki Temple Level Pack​ retails for $29.99 and can be found both online and wherever video games are sold. 

Skylanders Imaginators supports character toys from all previous Skylanders games - including Skylanders®SuperChargers, Skylanders® Trap Team, Skylanders® SWAP ForceTM, Skylanders® Giants and Skylanders® Spyro’s Adventure - that kids can enjoy in the real-world and in the virtual game.

Spring is finally here, and I don't know about you, but I am busier than ever!

Between homeschooling my littles, flying to LA several times for health-related procedures and as a guest on a popular daytime TV show, and gearing up to run for local office, my days are hectic, to say the least!

Despite my crazy, busy lifestyle, I can say one thing for sure: I can run around like a chicken with its head cut off in absolute, sustainable comfort thanks to my prAna eco-friendly clothing.

 prAna offers organic, hemp, sustainable, and fair trade items so that consumers feel great about the things they wear and the items they give. 

I absolutely LOVE this brand, since they offer fair trade, sustainable clothing that's not only versatile, it's luxurious as well. Their timeless looks are perfect for wherever your day takes you, from the hiking trail to the office. In fact, these garments are designed by folks who are passionate about outdoor activities. They're also great for layering, so the style possibilities are endless with prAna. 
​
Recently, we were given to opportunity to check out a couple great pieces from prAna for ourselves.

Now that winter is over, knock on wood, many of us are ready to tackle some hardcore Spring Cleaning. My house needs it for sure, since we've been cooped up all winter with kids and multiple pets. Some all-around freshening is definitely in order!

When it comes to cleaning products, I generally try to choose products that are safe around both my human children and my fur-babies. Things like dyes, glycols, phosphates, 1,4-dioxane, chlorine, DEA, formaldehyde, caustics, or optical brighteners aren't what I'm looking for when I'm reading ingredient labels. I much prefer safe, natural ingredients, such as those found in Grab Green's home product line-up.

Grab Green creates effective, non-toxic laundry and home care solutions that are gentle on you and the planet. Their mission is to innovate the best eco-responsible products on the market that perform even better than the
leading brands.

Grab Green was the first to launch a pod-based laundry detergent, solvent-free power degreaser, non-toxic garbage disposal freshener, and a naturally derived cookware/bakeware cleaner.

Their promise to you is that their products will always be effective, eco-responsible, healthier, and innovative. Grab Green products also smell amazing, thanks to their unique and handcrafted aromatherapeutic blends of essential oils. Yep. That's right. I just said the magic words: Essential oils.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, I know a lot of folks are looking for the perfect gift to show the moms in our lives how much they mean to us. After all, it's the mothers of the world that keep everything running smoothly, don't you agree?

Today, I'd like to talk about one Mother's Day gift idea that is tried and true, and sure to put a smile on Mom's face on her special day. Precious Moments figurines are a classic, heartfelt gift idea that have been pulling on heartstrings for decades.

​I remember falling in love with this line during my childhood, about a million years ago. (According to my kids.) There's just something beautiful and special about those wide-eyed, sentimental characters that makes my heart smile. 

College basketball tournament time has tipped off this weekend and that means following along with your brackets, rooting for your favorite teams, and putting out your favorite foods to watch all the action. 

Even when your brackets get busted everyone around the TV can still be a winner when you serve Foster Farms Corn Dogs or Mini Corn Dogs. They’re the ultimate “Snack-Time Bracket Busters”! #FFBracketBusters

Foster Farms corn dogs come in three great flavors- Honey Crunchy, Jalapeño & Cheese and Chili Cheese, plus a 40-ct box of mini honey crunchy corn dogs. They serve up fast and are made with no added hormones or steroids.

​Foster Farms Corn Dogs are a huge hit in my household, so of course, they're gameday staples for us. I love serving a platter of Foster Farms Mini Corn Dogs with different dips, some nachos or chili, and maybe even a nice spread of wings. Variety is the spice of life, after all! 

In my home, we're pretty tech-savvy. We love having all the latest gizmos and gadgets, and we use technology in most every aspect of our lives. My kids and husband love gaming and streaming movies and TV, and I can usually be found listening to my vast music collection. I love all kinds of music, and use it as a tool to help boost my creativity and help get me through my busy days. 

I was super stoked when I was recently introduced to Google Chromecast Audio, available at Best Buy. This handy device allows you to stream crystal clear, high quality audio wirelessly using your phone, tablet, or computer and any speakers you have on hand, even if they're old like the hubby's floor speakers he refuses to get rid of. 

Now the Spring is finally arriving, a lot of folks have visions of beautiful gardens dancing in their heads. Here in Ohio, we have a good sized yard, and the kids definitely want to plant some flowers, herbs, and veggies of their own. Not only is this a hands-on Science lesson for my homeschoolers, it's also learning valuable life skills. I personally believe that every child should learn to cultivate their own sustainable, healthy foods. Not only does this save money at the grocery store, it also promises fresher produce and fosters pride in hard work and dedication. Gardening for kids is definitely a win-win situation in my book!

Recently, I learned about a great brand that offers fun, easy to use gardening kits that the whole family can enjoy. From expert gardeners to novices like me, Sproutbrite can help transform your yard or garden plot into a sustainable paradise brimming with beautiful wildflowers, savory herbs, and even Heirloom vegetables. 

We received some fun Sproutbrite kits to check out for ourselves, and I would love to share them with you all!
