All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Even in this technological age where video games and iPads rule, my kiddos can't resist some soft, snuggly stuffed animals. Sure, stuffies and Teddy Bears may not have a touchscreen or all the bells and whistles of electronics, but there's something so comforting and fun about them. These are classics that will never go out of style, no matter how much technology advances.
Sophie and Xander both love playing with stuffed animals, and they both still sleep with them as well. Xander's room is especially full of stuffed toys, since his bedroom has a fun jungle theme, complete with a huge monkey wall mural. So recently, when I learned about the awesome animal pals at Bears for Humanity, I couldn't wait to check them out. Bears for Humanity offers some truly adorable Teddy Bears as well as cheerful animals such as a monkey, a turtle, a giraffe and more! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples and information to facilitate my post.

Summer is in full swing which means people are firing up the grills and heading outdoors for BBQ season. While outdoor entertaining is always fun, the clean-up is what most hosts dread.

A Febreze Air Purifier is just what any host needs for hands-and-stress-free cleaning.

And it’s the ONLY air purifier that releasing a fresh scent once it’s done cleaning—and we all know the smell of fire grilled burgers can linger in the kitchen long after clean-up. Equipped with three air-cleaning levels and a freshness control dial for the scent cartridge, this air purifier eliminates undesired odors and puts a positive spin on cleaning up any room. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples and information to facilitate my post.

Now that summer is in full swing, chances are, parents are all too familiar with shouts of "I'm Boooooreeedddd." Or is that just MY kids? On rainy days, my children act like the world has ended. They claim there's absolutely nothing to do. No crafts, no books, and no toys will do.
One thing that my kids can always agree upon, even when boredom strikes, is watching their favorite TV shows. We actually limit television in our home, so a TV marathon is a rare treat for the kids, and one they get super-excited about. Recently, we received 4 awesome Summer DVDs from the folks at Hasbro and Shout! Factory that is sure to cure that dreaded summer boredom. Included were favorites like "Littlest Pet Shop", "My Little Pony", and even "Transformers: Rescue Bots". This package has something for everyone!

Here in the Cleveland, Ohio area, we've been having a bit of a heat wave. It's been hot and sticky, and there have even been some pretty wicked storms, one of which caused a tree to fall on the roof of my garage, destroying it a couple of days ago. Thank goodness for good homeowner's insurance! That's a different post entirely, though.
To help beat the heat, we've been enjoying a lot of icy cold treats lately. From ice pops to ice cream, if it's hot, chances are my kids are covered in their sticky remnants. It's summer, after all. If the kiddos want ice cream, they shall have ice cream! Speaking of ice cream, did you know that July 17th is National Ice Cream Day? I had absolutely no idea ice cream had a day of its own, but I was thrilled to find out that it does. In my home, we like any excuse we can find to enjoy ice cream together! This year, we're celebrating National Ice Cream Day a little early. Just to get some practice in before the official day. We wouldn't want to fudge it up, no pun intended. Okay. I'm lying. We just wanted ice cream, and it's hot as Hades outside. We'll just make sure we celebrate ice cream twice. Today, I treated the kiddos to something extra-special, and I even let them help! We had Root Beer Floats, which gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my Curious Chef Root Beer Float Mug Set. Haven't heard of Curious Chef? They're awesome! This brand makes REAL cooking tools, designed with little hands and safety in mind. They have cookie cutters, baking and decorating sets, and even a 30-Piece complete caddy, full of whisks, spatulas, and other must have kitchen gadgets. These products are all BPA-free, and are totally safe for your little chefs to use.

Have you ever been to an IMAX movie? Oh my goodness, it's an experience like no other! We love IMAX films, especially those involving nature and the world around us. My kids love learning new things, and they love movies. IMAX is a fantastic way to combine the two!
So when I learned that the much-loved IMAX hit, "Flight of the Butterflies" was coming to Blu-Ray from Shout! Factory, I was super-excited. I knew the kids would be, too. Even though my Xander is terrified of insects in general, even he loves these beautiful, winged creatures. After all, who doesn't love butterflies? Flight of the Butterflies is all at once a natural history epic, compelling detective story, and scientific adventure at its best. This captivating film allows viewers to experience one of the most incredible natural phenomena on earth – the migration of hundreds of millions of Monarch butterflies. The truly inspiring film is a favorite at theaters and science centers around the country, and will now be available on Blu-ray for home viewing on July 12, 2016. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples and information to facilitate my post.

Summer is officially here and with the heat comes several COOL books that are perfect additions to every mom's boredom-proof summer survival kit! These titles are ideal for road trips, camp care packages and those loooong late summer days when kids are bored and parents are figuring out how to survive until September.
All 3 of my kids have been absolutely OBSESSED with these books, even though they range in age from 16 to 5! That's right....Even my teenager thinks these titles are absolutely awesome. It's rare to find anything all 3 kids enjoy, and National Geographic Kids nailed it! Not only are these books beautiful with tons of vibrant photos, they are also jam-packed with fun facts and information on basically everything under the sun! Kids love learning when it's engaging and fun, and these books are exactly that. ***Disclosure: As a Cedar Point Blogger, I receive admission to the park and to special events, as well as information to share.

During the summer season, many families are looking for fun-filled ways to enjoy the beautiful weather together. One favorite? Heading to an amusement park, of course!
When I was a kid, some of my favorite memories involved heading to Cedar Point in beautiful Sandusky, Ohio with my parents or grandparents to enjoy a day full of thrills. I remember it felt like the drive from the Akron area took forever, but it was always worth the wait. In reality, Cedar Point is only about an hour and 20 minutes away. To a kid, though, that feels like an eternity when there are visions of coasters and thrill rides dancing in their head! I was a taller kid, so even at a young age, I could ride almost everything in the park. I remember my favorites were The Witches Wheel, the Gemini, which I once rode 26 times in a row, and of course, The Corkscrew. The Corkscrew was my first ever coaster, and I can still remember my terror as I boarded the coaster, even many years later! Of course MY kids are much, much smaller than I was at their age. Sophie and Xander are 5 and 6, but they're....well....incredibly vertically challenged at just 40" and 42". Sadly, this means they can't ride a good number of the rides at Cedar Point just yet. That's why we made our first official family visit of the season all about the kiddos. While the Valravn, Top Thrill Dragster, and other top thrill rides were definitely out of the question for the littles, Cedar Point still have plenty to offer even their smallest guests! ***Disclosure: As a Cedar Point Blogger, I receive admission to the park and to special events, as well as information to share. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** The 4th of July is over now, and I'm sure that loads of folks are taking it easy today after a fun-filled day full of BBQ, friends and family, and of course, fireworks. I absolutely loved seeing so many great photos on Facebook and Instagram showing how my pals celebrated the day.
We celebrated, too, but this year, our 4th of July celebration was extra-special. Why? Because we were VIP Guests at Cedar Point for their fabulous Light Up the Point event! (You can read more about this special event HERE.) After a day enjoying rides and attractions, we headed to the beautiful Cedar Point Beach for a special celebration that only America's Roller Coast could pull off. Right on the shores of Lake Erie, we were treated to a celebration that was suitable for royalty. As you spend your life planning, working, and doing the things you love – you are also building a home. Not just a house or a place to hang your hat. Life is pretty great right? You have a good job, you have a home, and things are sunny. Until disaster strikes. No one wants to think about it, but it can happen to anyone. Yes, I am talking about the nauseating word, foreclosure. Although, you thought you had it all together, and you probably did, anything can happen. Job layoffs, illness, injury. So many variables. If this has happened to you or someone you love, you are probably feeling like you do not know where to turn and feeling utterly alone. But that simply should not be the case at all. There is help out there. June is National Home Ownership Month, but many Americans are still struggling to make their mortgage payments. About 1 in 17 homeowners nationwide have fallen behind on their mortgage payments, putting them at a higher risk of foreclosure. Unfortunately, foreclosure rescue and mortgage modification scams are a growing problem. Scammers will make promises that they can't keep, such as guaranteeing to "save" your home or lower your mortgage payments, usually for a fee, and sometimes even claiming that they have direct contact with your mortgage company. These scams could cost homeowners thousands of dollars – or even their homes.
Going through the stress of potentially losing your home is hard enough as it is. No one should EVER be faced with going through that alone, but many do feel alone in what they are experiencing. That is why the Making Home Affordable (MHA) program provides free resources and assistance for distressed homeowners who are working hard at juggling expenses to makes ends meet. There are more options available for struggling homeowners today than ever before, and MHA works to provide them with the mortgage solution that is right for them. Visit MakingHomeAffordable.gov to read about available programs to help with mortgage payments. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help. |
