They've actually had to close many a district due to insanely hot temperatures this past week. So THOSE kids have a little bit of a delay.
Lucky them, right?! In all seriousness, though, I totally support erring on the side of caution, and support these schools' decisions to close so the kiddos don't bake. And then, of course, you have families like mine that are fortunate enough to be able to Homeschool using the K12 Online Learning System. Since I work from home already, it's easy for us to work homeschooling into our day. Of course K12 makes that simple, as there are classes and teachers online to help the little ones learn and stay on track.

When I was a kid, I remember watching movies like "Back to the Future" and being absolutely amazed by the Hoverboard and other futuristic innovations that, at the time, weren't even remotely available for purchase. I mean, the 80s and early 90s were pretty lame in comparison to the things kids can do nowadays.
Case in point: Transportation. When I was a kid, I walked 10 miles, uphill, in 5 feet of snow to get to school. Okay, so that's a total lie. I walked about 6 blocks. Yes, there would often be snow since I'm in Ohio, but it wasn't like walking during a never ending blizzard or anything. Well, not usually, at least.... Anyway, today, kids have more options than that to get around. The perfect examples of high-tech, personal transportation come from my favorite scooter brand, Razor. They have some pretty amazing electric scooters, which top my wish list, as well as something a bit more fantastical....Turbo Jetts Electric Heel Wheels. These are exactly what they sound like: Motorized wheels that go right onto your shoes! (IF you wear between a Youth 12 and Adult 12 and weigh up to 176lbs.) These are taking the streets by storm, and are absolutely awesome....Once you get the hang of them. Check out Razor's instructional video that shows how to get started below.
Looks pretty nifty, don't you agree?
I mean, who'd have ever thought that something this cool would be available for just anyone to enjoy? I always figured that something like Turbo Jetts would be reserved for the super wealthy, or those who have access to much neater things than the general public does. Thanks to the innovative team at Razor, everyone can enjoy this zippy, fun technology!

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** When I was a kid in the 80's-90's, there were a handful of cartoons I was positively addicted to. Muppet Babies was one of them. I remember huddling with my brother around the TV and becoming captivated by whatever adventures the Muppet Babies were on, and our gasps whenever Miss Nanny came close to catching them. It was always fun, and who could forget that catchy theme song?!
If you loved the Muppet Babies as much as I did, I have great news for you and your little ones! Almost 30 years after the Muppet Babies first won the hearts of kids and families around the world, Disney Junior's reimagined "Muppet Babies" chronicles the hilarious playroom antics of a young Kermit the Frog, Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal – plus a brand-new Muppet Baby, Summer Penguin. Under the watchful eye of Miss Nanny, the Muppet Babies use their imaginations to embark on countless adventures that take them to the farthest corners of the universe and demonstrate to young viewers the power and potential of imaginative play.  Smithsonian magazine has designated Saturday, September 22 as the 14th annual Museum Day, an initiative in which participating museums across the United States open their doors for free to those who download a branded ticket. The annual event allows museums nationwide to emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, D.C.-based facilities, which offer free admission every day.
Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors—it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities. It represents a national commitment to access, equity and inclusion. The theme of this year’s Museum Day is “Women Making History,” honoring women in society who are trailblazers in the arts, sciences, innovation and culture, and emboldening others to be pioneers as well. Museum Day 2018 invites participating museums to create programming to support this initiative. To help amplify this year’s theme and celebrate Women Making History, Smithsonian has partnered with Microsoft to create an original mixed reality experience. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will host the marquee program with the exclusive HoloLens experience and launch event featuring a Q&A session with an astronaut. “Now, more than ever, we recognize the importance of Museum Day in making our country’s knowledge and culture accessible to everyone,” says Amy Wilkins, Chief Revenue Officer at Smithsonian Media. “Given the strides women are making in society, our theme - Women Making History - encourages participating museums and museumgoers alike, to celebrate and honor the female heroines that help shape the world around us.” Museums in all 50 states have already signed up to participate in Smithsonian magazine’s 2018 Museum Day, the largest event of its kind. More than 1,300 museums are expected to participate this year. Those wishing to attend and participate in Museum Day 2018 can visit Smithsonian.com/museumday to learn more and download a Museum Day ticket beginning on August 15. Each ticket grants the ticket holder, and one guest, free access to any participating museum on September 22, 2018. One ticket is permitted per email address. A list of participating museums, which will be continually updated as more museums sign up, can be found at Smithsonian.com/museumday/search. For more information, visit Smithsonian.com/museumday. 
Growing up I think we all must have had a favorite teacher of ours. That one teacher who inspired us the most and taught us to not limit our potential and reach our goals.
Tom over at Tom's Take On Things remembers his favorite teacher. Her name was Mrs. Krnac, his 5th-grade teacher from Willow Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio. Tom attributes her to teaching him that nothing was impossible and that a dream could come true if you work hard enough at it.
Thinking about teachers from the past, and those who are teaching today, Tom wanted to do a giveaway that honors them for the sacrifices, dedication, and devotion they gave us and the students that are being taught today.
My favorite teacher was Debby West, my middle school chorus teacher. She took me under her wing and was there for me when no one else was. She literally treated me like a mother treats her children, and always joked that she was given a daughter even if it wasn't blood relation. She passed away a few years ago, and I miss her terribly.
One winner will receive both a $15 Staples Gift Card and a $10 Amazon Gift Card if you win this giveaway. You can keep it for yourself, shop for your kids, or maybe even donate it to a teacher who might need it. Giveaway is open to the U.S. Only and ends on 8/23 at 11:59 pm EST.

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Anyone who knows me in real life knows that music makes my world go 'round. This has always been the case, and remains true to this day. I sing, and we have a piano, a keyboard, and guitars for the kids to learn. I also love nothing more than to crank up my record player and listen to my favorite artists on Vinyl.
When I was a child, I have fond memories of attending band practices with my Dad, who just recently retired from gigging here on the Cleveland area music scene. He has played in bands since before I was born, and being surrounded by music and musicians growing up helped shape me as a person, allowing me to reach into parts of my soul that would be impossible to access without the magic of music. Now, I try to surround myself with as much music as possible. I attend TONS of concerts, whether they be huge, stadium filling shows or smaller, Indie artists' shows at awesome venues like Cleveland's own House of Blues. I dig every genre, every decade, and just love finding inspiration in the most authentic way possible: Through the language of music. Two of my absolute favorite artists are Cleveland's own Machine Gun Kelly and the oh-so-funky hippy, Mod Sun. Coincidentally, the pair happen to be besties in real life. Pretty awesome, if you ask me! Anyway, this past weekend, I had the opportunity to see them BOTH at Machine Gun Kelly's annual event, ESTFest. To help get me geared up for this absolutely epic weekend festival, I got some brand new, custom phone cases from YourCustomPhoneCase.com.  ***The product, information, and gift card have been provided by A&W so that I could try the product and share my thoughts and information about A&W Root Beer.

Well, it is! And what better way to celebrate the end of summer break than with an A&W Root Beer Float party? Root Beer Floats are a classic that has remained a treat for generations, and for good reason: Root Beer Floats are amazing. After all, who can resist the taste-bud pleasing combo of bubbly root beer and creamy, vanilla ice cream? No one? Exactly. They're just that amazingly good.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.
