***Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.*** Father's Day is literally right around the corner. (It's Sunday, June 21st, for those who have the urge to google the date or run for their calendars.)
I know that finding the perfect Father's Day gift can be hard, especially when you're shopping for the guy who has it all. I have heard horror stories about hideous "Cosby Sweaters", ties, and even singing fish on a plaque being given. These Father's Day fails are enough to make me feel sorry for dear old Dad, don't you agree? Why not get Dad something he REALLY wants this year? It's pretty easy, actually. All you need to do is head to your local Best Buy store or BestBuy.com and you're bound to find at least a gazillion different things that Dad is sure to love. We lovingly refer to Best Buy as "Dude Heaven" because they carry just about everything a guy could want, minus the beer. One of our most drooled over items this year is the new GoPro HERO+ LCD camera. This thing is beyond amazing, and can help capture those spontaneous, action-packed moments this summer and beyond.

Whether it's laundry, dishes, or just general cleaning, messes seem to be made faster than I can clean them up at times. Especially now that summer is here. Teenage boys tend to be sloppy creatures that eat more than an army of grown men. This means we go through a LOT of cleaning products.
Have you ever stopped and noticed how much waste simple household products create? Think about it. There are plastic jugs and bottles, cartons, and other various packaging that ultimately end up contributing to our already overflowing landfills. Of course some packaging can be recycled, if such facilities exist in the consumer's local area. This is not always the case, though. Some areas just don't have the most up-to-date recycling programs. In addition to the waste that household products produce, many traditional cleaning products contain loads of artificial colors and dyes, as well as other chemicals that could potentially be harmful. This can create a rather uncomfortable, itchy, or even downright painful situation for those with sensitive skin. One way to avoid both the waste and chemicals so common with traditional household cleaning products is to choose natural cleaning products with eco-friendly packaging. If you can actually reuse the packaging to further reduce waste, even better. #jordwood Twitter Party US/Can

Our Experience At the Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour Show In Cleveland #EveryDayMoments #IC #Sponsored6/5/2015 ***Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for American Express. I received concert tickets and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.*** You may recall that last week, I got some pretty exciting news. We were chosen to be a guest of American Express and Influence Central at Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour Cleveland show. How cool is that?! I am STILL pinching myself, and the show is already over! This opportunity really meant a lot to me. This literally made 2 of my kids' dreams come true.
My 5 year old daughter is obsessed with music, and she really looks up to Taylor Swift. Isn't Sophie cute with her Cinderella dress and acoustic guitar? She got to wear the dress to the show, but was sad that I made her leave the guitar at home. And her logic for wanting to wear a princess dress to her first concert was priceless. She said that Taylor Swift is pretty like a princess, so she had to be one, too. Aww! But I was most excited for my 15 year old son, Kyle. Kyle is 15, and is going to be a Sophomore in the fall. He's a wonderful kid. He's kind, creative, compassionate, and has very strong morals. Kyle is also gay, and comfortable in his own skin. Unfortunately, this opens him up to teasing, bullying, and even hate crimes. (Yes, we have even had to call the police recently.) Despite all of the challenges he faces every single day, Kyle has maintained honor roll grades and a positive attitude. It would be so easy for him to get discouraged or be ashamed of who he is.....That hasn't happened. Instead of letting the hate get to him, he decides to "Shake It Off" since "Haters gonna hate, hate, hate hate...." Okay. I'm a nerd. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** In my home, we're all about tolerance and inclusion. The way I see it, hate and discrimination are taught. No baby is born with the ability to judge another human being. This is a learned behavior, and unfortunately, often leads to bullying for things that a person cannot control, like race or ethnicity, disability, religion, or even sexual orientation.
As the mom of a gay teen, I want to make sure that ALL of my children grow up valuing and appreciating other people, regardless of the differences there may be. By embracing different cultures and walks of life, it is my hope that my kids have beautiful relationships with people of all kinds. Love and friendship should see no color, gender, or ethnicity. We're all human, and while our outsides may be different, we're very much alike on the inside. So when I learned about a wonderful line of multi-cultural dolls from The One World Doll Project, I was definitely excited. The Prettie Girls! Dolls come in every shade, and are from a variety of different countries. I love the fact that I can offer my daughter the chance to learn about and celebrate her global sisters through creative play. Entertainment Will Never Be the Same Thanks to the #SUHDatBestBuy @SamsungTVUSA @BestBuy #Ad6/5/2015 ***Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.*** My husband Dan is a big kid....That's what he says, at least. Well, I guess in a way, men are still pretty boyish a lot of the time. But when boys become men, their "toys" seem to get fancier, cooler, and yes, more expensive. But sometimes you really do get what you pay for! For example, all televisions are definitely not created equal. Not by a long-shot, actually.
Dan has been eyeing new televisions for quite some time now. No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with our 46" Samsung TV, but it doesn't have the latest technology my hubby craves. His Dream Television? The Samsung SUHD Television, now available at Best Buy. We recently headed to the Best Buy at Chapel Hill in Akron, Ohio to take a closer look at these gorgeous televisions, and I have to admit, we were absolutely blown away by the color, depth, and clarity they offer. SUHD takes viewing to a whole new level, folks.

In the tradition of Disney sports movies comes “McFarland, USA” based on a true story of underdogs triumphing over tremendous obstacles. This heartwarming drama follows novice runners who strive to build a cross-country team under Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) in their predominantly Latino high school. Everyone has a lot to learn about each other, but when Coach realizes the boys’ exceptional running ability, things change. Beyond their talent, it’s the power of family, commitment to each other and work ethic that transform them into champions — helping them achieve their own American dream.
***Disclosure: This post has been made possible by Mixbook. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** As a busy mom, I find I take a ton of photos. With 3 growing kids, I want to capture every funny moment, heartwarming memory, and important milestone so I can keep them and cherish them forever. Children grow so quickly, and it's amazing to look back at photos and see how much has changed over the course of a year.
.Unfortunately, most of our relatives don't live locally, so they only see these photos because they are friends with me on my various social media accounts. (Hey, it's a digital world, right?) Well sure, Facebook is convenient, but it doesn't take the place of physical photos. We love creating gorgeous photo gifts to send to family and friends near and far. This is a simple, painless process, thanks to the folks at Mixbook.
