***Disclosure: As a Best Buy WOLF Blogger, I received product and/or gift cards to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** As both a blogger and the homeschooling parent of little ones, I am always on the lookout for tech that takes our learning (and playing) to a whole new level. After all, when technology and convenience merge, beautiful things happen: Kids learn and become more engaged, and our lesson plans can literally come to life, right there on our screens.
That's one reason I'm super excited to learn about the new HP Envy x360 Laptop, which is a fantastic new addition to the HP family of products at Best Buy! HP Envy x360 laptops are 2-in-1 devices that can transfer from a laptop to a tablet in seconds. These touch-screen laptops come with Windows Ink capabilities and a Windows operating system so you can write on the screen with your stylus. AMD processors make them fast and thin so you can take them with you anywhere you go!

Whether it was on our classic NES system, the SNES, Nintendo 64, or eventually Game Boy and Game Boy Color, I always loved to play any of the Super Mario Bros. games.
My kids? Well, the games and systems are a bit more on the advanced side, but the kids all love Mario and friends just as much as I did. They have an advantage, though, since the Nintendo 3DS offers graphics that were the thing of dreams back in my day. Yep. According to the kiddos, I am an ancient relic, and it's a near miracle that I'm even still alive. Anyway, since Mario type games are always a huge hit, my kids were beyond thrilled when they received Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for their Nintendo 3DS system. They also received an adorable Toad plushie that they now carry around literally everywhere.

One of my favorite things about summer is cooking out on the grill. I do this several times a week during summer, unless of course it's raining. Then I use my pressure cooker. That's a different post entirely, though.
Anyway, I am a HUGE fan of eating, entertaining, and cooking in the great outdoors. Or, at least in my case, the backyard. It's my own little corner of the universe, and while it's nothing fancy, it's home. Since grilling season is all about big, bold flavors, we love incorporating our Manuka Honey and Pacific Sea Salts from PRI into our cooking. These are ingredients of the absolute highest of quality. They not only pack a HUGE punch when it comes to flavor, they're also good for you! Mother Nature's finest, straight out of New Zealand. New Zealand is one of the last bastions of purity as an environmentally protected and GMO-Free region with the cleanest oceans on the globe. Case in point, Manuka is the gold standard for honey and is produced exclusively in New Zealand from bees and flowers that are environmentally protected. Enjoy these safe and soothing products every day and feel great using them! No artificial flavors, colors, no corn syrup or refined sugars and NO preservatives, either. I am a HUGE fan of PRI, and of Manuka Honey in general. Domestic honey has been in the news lately, and not for very good reasons. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about my Manuka Honey, since it comes directly from beautiful New Zealand, and is completely pure and clean. Recently, I was sent a fabulous assortment of PRI products that are sure to help our summer feasts be as flavorful as possible! I would love to tell you a bit about each of these products, so keep reading for more info. Trust me, you will absolutely love what they have to offer! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

Do your kids love science and engineering? Science is my 8 year old daughter, Sophie's favorite subject ever. She lives, sleeps, and breathes science. In fact, some of her favorite things to do include a trip to the Great Lakes Science Center up in Cleveland. Thankfully, we're members, so we can visit as often as we'd like.
One of the films we loved seeing in the Dome Theater is Dream Big: Engineering Our World. This awesome film celebrates technological advances in engineering, which allows kids to dream big and help design our future engineering marvels. It was amazing on the HUGE screen, but soon, this hit will be available from the comfort of your own home, too! Get ready to explore our world when the critically acclaimed film Dream Big: Engineering Our World(narrated by Jeff Bridges)is released in a 2-DVD set by Shout! Factory on July 24, 2018.

This set brings the wonder of engineering to life for students everywhere. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

How many times have you heard this from your children, their classmates, even teachers or other parents – and probably said it yourself? For anyone who had to spend their formative years memorizing the multiplication tables or learning long division, math often tops the list of as the most "hated" subject…in fact a recent survey out of Stanford found that regardless of IQ and other factors, math performance was connected with a positive attitude revealing that children who have poor attitudes toward math rarely perform well in the subject, while those with positive attitudes had a range of math achievement.
The Math Facts That Stick series by Kate Snow and published by Well-Trained Mind Press—which includes Addition Facts that Stick, Subtraction Facts That Stick, and the two newest titles releasing July 2018, Multiplication Facts That Stick and Division Facts That Stick—are fun, engaging guides that help parents teach their children the math facts once and for all, without spending hours and hours drilling flash cards! Ideal for children ages 6-12, the series guides parents, step by step, as they teach their children to understand and memorize the math facts. Hands-on activities, fun games that kids love, and simple practice pages help students remember the math facts for good…all in a few short weeks! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

As a woman, I feel even more compelled to take personal safety into my own hands. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, I will NOT allow myself to be made a victim in any capacity if I can help it.
Also, I am the mother of an 18 year old gay son. He, too, risks his safety just by walking out the door every day. He encounters discrimination often, and who knows when hate-fueled words and ridicule could become physically violent in nature? Personal safety and prevention is KEY. It's important to be able to protect and defend one's self, and to always be ready for the unexpected. No, I don't mean everyone should be strapped like Yosemite Sam. This is 2018, and this isn't the Wild, Wild West. Carrying a firearm isn't for everyone, and thankfully, there are other, less lethal, methods of self defense. We carry various personal safety products from SABRE. Whether you are traveling, camping, barbecuing in your backyard, or visiting your city's local attractions, make sure to prioritize safety. Check out a few of SABRE’s most popular safety products to keep you and your family while celebrating the season.

I Won a Bud Light Lake Getaway In Cleveland #NotSponsored #BudLightGetaway #BudLightLakeGetaway7/16/2018 Like many of you, I sometimes enter sweepstakes or contests I see online, often through Facebook. Well, I don't win much since I stay too busy to enter like I wish I could....But recently, I won something AMAZING, and I'd love to share it with you all!
I won one of the Bud Light Lake Getaway experiences, this one in Cleveland, OH. This "staycation" included a 2 hour long Bud Light Party Cruise on the Nautica Queen, which of course offered food and all the Bud Light one could handle! (I actually don't drink....At all...The hubby enjoyed the beer, and I stuck to ice water, meatballs, and cheese. Heck. Yes.) There was music and dancing on deck, lots of laughter, and of course, plenty of Bud Light VIPs. We were all friends for an afternoon, and it was AMAZING. After seeing the gorgeous cityscape and crashing waves of Lake Erie, we were also treated to an amazing concert experience at Jacob's Pavilion, which is an ampitheater style venue right on the water. We saw KT Tunstall, Better Than Ezra, and The Barenaked Ladies! My phone ended up dying, so I didn't get too many concert photos. Check out my slideshow above, and enter to win your own Bud Light Lake Getaway HERE. (Rules are on the sponsor's page.) Again, not sponsored, just sharing my win and hoping you enter, too! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** As you may have noticed, Summer '18 is all about things that are wild....Things like the Dinosaurs brought back to life in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and of course, next week? Well, that's one of the most celebrated weeks of the whole entire year: Shark Week!
In celebration of these favorite "wild things", we've rounded up some of the hottest toys that celebrate both sharks and dinosaurs!
