All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and have not been influenced in any way.*** A lot of my friends have babies and toddlers. A LOT. Shoot, the Pandemic Baby Boom alone has given me so many kiddos to spoil that aren't even my own. That's awesome, though, because I am thrilled to be an Honorary Auntie! One common thread between most of the littles I know is that they're all utterly obsessed with Cocomelon! How can you blame them, right? Cocomelon is super adorable, fun, and stimulating to the minds of the very littlest ones. There's a playdate at JJ's house, and all the fam is invited to join in the brand new video game from Outright Games, 'CoComelon: Play with JJ'. available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch! Check out the trailer below:

I have to admit it: I am a Pokémon addict. My whole family picked up Pokémon Go during the Pandemic, and it just kind of stuck. I play regularly, and am currently sitting at Level 42 and a half.
So imagine how excited I was to learn that today, a brand new Pokémon adventure is available for Nintendo Switch systems! Trainers can explore the Paldea region in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, now available exclusively on Nintendo Switch systems. Catch the latest series trailer here:
Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet take a new evolutionary step in the Pokémon main series, allowing players to explore an open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the Paldea region’s vast wildernesses. Players will begin their adventure by choosing either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly to be their first partner Pokémon, then set off to either Naranja Academy in Pokémon Scarlet or Uva Academy in Pokémon Violet.
For more information about Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, please visit Pokemon.com/ScarletViolet. What team are YOU on? I think I'll choose Team Violet, solely because I just adore the color purple. Well. Catch ya soon! Gotta go catch em all!

It's time to decorate our homes, put up our trees or other applicable decor, and get into the spirit of what's supposed to be that most joyful time of year. The Holidays are the perfect time to gather together with family and friends and remember all of the things we're grateful for in life. There are over 20 recognized Holidays between now and the end of the year, so I think it's safe to say, we all have a reason to celebrate the season. Some celebrate Christmas. Some observe Hanukkah. My family celebrates something new, that we just call Fall-Tide-Winter-Fest, which is a celebration of the changing seasons and the joy of giving in general. As you get your gift shopping done this season, I'd love to suggest a fantastic gift idea: Photo jewelry gifts from PicturesOnGold.com. They have so many gorgeous, high quality gifts that would make for the perfect, most heartfelt gesture this Holiday season.

Right now, it seems that everyone I know is getting sick. There are several bugs going around right now, from Strep and the Flu to both adult and childhood RSV to yes, Ms. Rona.
This is the time of year that illnesses seem to thrive, so protecting yourself by having a healthy lifestyle is so important. Taking the right supplements, getting enough sleep, and having a well balanced diet are all ways to help your immune system be in the best shape it can be. Speaking of supplements, I have a great bundle of immunity boosting supplements from Superior Source Vitamins to share this month, as well as a GIVEAWAY for the same bundle. These are supplements that I personally take every day, and I swear by them. What makes Superior Source special? Well, there are NO PILLS TO SWALLOW! With over 100 vitamins, there are vitamins for everyone, young old and every need. Best of all, Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual® with “Under the Tongue Technology” that works fast, and are quickly absorbed into the body, dissolving in seconds. Did you know that... by swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach! No pills to swallow–dissolves in seconds GMO FREE and Sugar FREE 90% smaller than regular vitamins No binders, fillers, dyes or preservatives Only 2-3 other clean ingredients Over 100 vitamins to choose |
