***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.*** My kids love nurturing and caring for others. Whether it's their baby dolls, our pets, or even all of their stuffed animals, Sophie and Xander really enjoy feeding, mending, or comforting them. So naturally, they absolutely love, love, LOVE Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior. Sophie even has a Doc McStuffins wardrobe and says she'd like to be a doctor when she grows up.
Recently, we received the newest DVD in the Doc McStuffins line, "School of Medicine", to check out for ourselves. This DVD was so cute, and Doc McStuffins took on various medical roles. She was an optometrist helping her owl, Professor Hootsburgh, see clearly again, and also came to the rescue as a radiologist and a dentist. The thing I love the most about this series is that it teaches small kids about medicine in a way they can understand. What a great way to possibly help kids find their calling, don't you agree? And of course, this DVD also teaches about empathy and compassion, which are very important values to have, in my opinion.

My Sophie loves the fact that there is a child princess with her name, and I love the positive messages that the series focuses on like blended families and the value of friendship and teamwork.
Recently, we received a copy of the newest Sofia the First DVD, "The Enchanted Feast." This feature was so much fun, and we absolutely loved Snow White's appearance in the film. I always get excited when Disney merges new favorites with the much loved classics. My kids loved this film, and I definitely like the message that it teaches kids. This adventure teaches kids to trust their instincts and that if someone or something feels wrong, they should always speak out. In today's world, this is definitely a very important and valuable lesson. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

My kids absolutely love seeing how other species survive in their natural habitats. Of course living here in suburbia, the most wildlife we experience up close and personal would be our Yard Crashers, the feral cat family that has made my backyard home.
When it comes to seeing animals that we don't encounter here in my small hometown, we choose Disneynature films. We've got quite the collection going.

Discussing The 2014 State Honor Roll for Asthma and Allergies In Schools With Charlotte Collins8/15/2014 With kids heading back to school soon, many parents are rushing around getting school supplies, clothing, and shoes. But for the parents of millions of school-aged kids, back to school season is also the time to prepare and hopefully prevent potentially life-threatening asthma and allergy related problems. Did you know that over 8,000,000 children in the US have asthma? And over 13,000,000 school-aged kids have severe food and other allergies. That's a pretty sobering thought, isn't it? It's no secret that allergies and asthma are on the rise among our children. Thankfully, so is our collective awareness about these serious issues. I actually worked in a public school system in Virginia for years. I was directly responsible for supervising children from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and many of our kids had medical issues like food allergies, asthma, and even juvenile diabetes. I had to train and become certified in both First Aid and CPR as well as medication administration. At that time, kids weren't allowed to administer their own emergency medications. This, thanks to rising awareness, has changed. All students in each state are now allowed to self-treat their asthma and allergies. This is such an important milestone, since it can save precious time in the event of an emergency. This is just one of the many changes that has taken place in our schools, allowing kids with asthma and allergies to have a safer day at school. The AAFA (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America) has been raising the bar for our nation's schools by creating an annual State Honor Roll. This program is in its 7th year, and rates each state on the procedures and protection measures that are in place in their schools to protect the millions of children who deal with severe allergies and asthma on a daily basis. They have set very high standards in which to measure against, but this is a good thing. These high standards have the potential to not only give kids a safer place to learn, but maybe also help save some lives. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Ms. Charlotte Collins, the Senior Vice President of Policy and Programs for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). We discussed not only the 2014 State Honor Roll, but also ways that parents can help make our schools a safer place for kids who are affected by these conditions. Check out our conversation in the video below: I am personally very excited about these growing measures to help our nations school-children. While my children are not affected by allergies and asthma, as a parent, I want to be sure that I am doing my part to help other kids. After all, it takes a village to raise a child. The growing occurrence of asthma and allergies among our youth is something that everyone should be aware of, and we should all become advocates of creating a safer learning environment for our nation's children.

I received a Silk'n Flash & Go to facilitate this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.*** Anyone who has been reading for awhile is aware that I have no shame, and will talk about almost anything. Whether it's poop problems, keeping things spicy between the sheets, or how to use a menstrual cup, I am willing to be open and honest about it all.
Today, I'd like to talk about another somewhat taboo topic that most women don't openly talk about: unwanted body hair. Sure, it would be nice to assume that all women are velvety-smooth, hairless creatures with bikini-ready bodies 100% of the time. (Don't I wish!) The truth is, while some amazingly fortunate women have those characteristics, the vast majority of us just don't. Most of us rely on an annoying routine that consists of shaving, plucking, or waxing. Or maybe a combination of all 3!
