We ALL dress up, even though it's just the kiddos that score the candy. We aren't satisfied to just go dressed as Mom and Dad, though. Nope. We like to have fun and dress up, right along with the littles. They love it, too, and we get bonus points for being "cool parents". It's a win, all around.
This year, Sophie and Xander are going to be a Rainbow Unicorn and Pikachu. I found an adorable Pusheenicorn hoodie that I'll be rocking as the laziest costume ever, and Dan? Well, we found something awesome for him at TVStoreOnline.com.

One of my favorite things about living in the NE Ohio area is the fact that we get to attend some really cool events sometimes. Hey, this area is rich in local flavor, and we've even got some amazing tourist attractions, like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Great Lakes Science Center, and of course, the Cleveland MetroParks.
Another perk of living in "The Land?" Well, right next door in Akron, OH, amazing things are happening. You see, there was once this kid from Akron who grew up to win championships, bring enthusiasm back into Cleveland sports, and of course, this kid from Akron is also giving back to his community in a big, bad way. In fact, he's helping to change lives and shape bright futures. As you've probably guessed, that "Kid from Akron" I'm talking about is the one and only LeBron James, AKA King James. Sure, he may have left Cleveland, but his heart and influence are still very much alive here in my area. LeBron's I PROMISE School is helping families and at risk youth stay on track, offering the chance at quality educations, and even the promise of higher education for those who work hard and stay dedicated to achieving greatness. There's also help for I PROMISE families should they need food assistance, transportation to and from the school, and there's even programs to help ensure parents are able to provide for their families, via career training, GED programs, etc. This is really such a gift for these at-risk kids, and the community as a whole. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Even though summer is practically over, we're still trying to squeeze in as much outdoor time as possible before the typical Ohio Deep Freeze sets in. It gets COLD here, so we try and take advantage of any nice days we're lucky enough to get.
To celebrate the last days of summer, we're doing a lot of fun things, like pool time, playing in the fountain, and of course, Adventure Force Blaster Battles, using our newest blasters! These are recommended for older kids and adults, but we allow our (soon to be) 8 and 9 year old kids to play with these with very close adult supervision. Safety first, always!

This month is Healthy Aging Month! As a woman in my 30s, I am definitely mindful of doing things to help me age as well as possible. I stay out of the sun without proper sunblock, I use good skincare products, I don't drink at all, and I quit smoking cold turkey a few years back. I literally have the cleanest, healthiest lifestyle of my entire life, and I love every moment of it. It's amazing how GOOD you feel when you take proper care of yourself!
Another thing I am mindful of is making sure I take the right supplements to fuel my body. My favorites? Well, they come from Superior Source Vitamins!

I am a big shoe fan. At one stage, I owned more than 50 pairs. In fact, I can still
be tempted to buy more. So, the other days when I was looking at silver footwear on jdwilliams.co.uk, my shoe itch returned. I scratched it by browsing through dozens of fashion sites to find out what the latest trends were. Here is a roundup of what I found. Hopefully, it will prove useful the next time you need to go shopping for boots or shoes. Shiny footwear remains popular Most retailers appear to still be offering a good range of metallic footwear. This is good news because they are very versatile. You can wear both gold and silver shoes with most types of clothes, provided the pair you choose is not too shiny. If you have a party to attend, they are a particularly good option. 80s style boots As you would expect, at this time of the year, there are plenty of boots available. Most footwear and clothing retailers are getting ready for the colder weather. They are marking their sandals down in price and filling the space with winter footwear. The season, quite a few designers seem to have turned to the 80s for inspiration. The shapes and materials used are very similar to the ones used during that decade. Those of you who were teenagers, or older, during that time will recognize the iconic slouch boot. Sneakers If you like comfortable footwear, consider tapping into the sneakers trend. Quite a few people are wearing the latest styles with skirts and smart clothing. They have broken the mold, so you can follow and be able to stay comfortable regardless of what you’re doing. Cylindrical heels Gone are the super thin heels of the past few years. In their place, designers like Stella McCartney are using cylindrical style heels. This type of heel adds a touch of edginess to even classic shoe styles. Low block heels The other major trend is block-heels that are 3 inches high or lower. This style of heel looks especially good on round-toed pumps. They look like that they will be very comfortable whether you choose to wear them with dresses and skirts or trousers or jeans. Red and black shoes Recently, quite a few models have sported black and red shoes and boots on the catwalk. So, you can expect to see at least a few examples making their way into the hands of mainstream footwear retailers. Large clasps and buckles If you like bold shoes that make a statement, keep an eye out for pairs with large clasps and buckles. Some designers have also started to introduce huge bows into their footwear ranges. More of my footwear picks Not so long ago, I wrote a post about Swedish footwear. As you will see, when you read it, the Swedes have eclectic tastes. So, if you are looking for something a bit different take a look and see if anything catches your eye. You may also want to take a look at this shoe care guide. After all, when you look after your footwear you can enjoy wearing it for longer. You may also want to take a look at this shoe care guide. After all, when you look after your footwear you can enjoy wearing it for longer. For some reason, when it is time to buy a gift for one of the special men in your life your mind just goes blank. It is incredibly frustrating, but, not at all
uncommon. A lot of women find that this happens to them, which is why I try to regularly come up with men’s gift ideas. Below are my latest ideas. Retro sports shirts Most men like sport. Some love football, others can’t get enough of cricket, motor racing or basketball. It really does not matter which sport the men in your life follow, buying them something that is related to it is always a good idea. This is relatively easy to do. For example, right now jacamo.co.uk is offering its customers the chance to buy a great range of retro football shirts. The nice thing about these is that they will appeal to men of all ages. Plus, this particular retailer caters to men of all sizes and heights. So, it would be really difficult not to find something suitable on their site. Sports tickets combined with a city break Better still buy them a ticket to the match. Combine this with a night or two in a hotel, so you can enjoy a city break together. Staying near the stadium means he can enjoy the match without any of the usual stress. There will be no sitting in traffic or standing on a crowded train to endure. Instead, you can get up, enjoy a leisurely breakfast and stroll to the match. Afterward, you can both have a drink, if you want, because nobody has to worry about driving home. However, if you are going to buy this type of gift, I suggest that you click here first. The article you will be taken to explains how to avoid being scammed when buying this type of travel-related gift. An experience day Another idea is to buy them an experience or hobby related present. There are plenty to choose from, everything from learning to drive a racing car to hot air balloon trips and cooking classes. Again, be careful about where you buy from. It is usually best to stick to the larger firms who offer you a range of experience days to choose between. Some even offer you the chance to swap them if the person receiving the gift does not like what you have bought them. Toiletries If you know which aftershave or skin care products they use, consider buying them more. These items are expensive, so they make especially good gifts for someone you know who is living on a tight budget. Gift vouchers If you are buying a gift for someone that you do not know well do not be afraid to buy them some vouchers. Most people will really appreciate the thought and being able to buy what they want. But, only do this if you are 100% comfortable doing so. Get even more men’s gift inspiration from me If you would like a few more gift ideas, try one of my other men's gift idea articles. I wrote it a while ago, but most of the ideas you will find there are still good ones that should work for you. |
