Today is a very special day, my internet friends! It's Earth Day! And without the planet we know and love, none of us would even exist. You wouldn't be enjoying your weekend, and I wouldn't be sitting here, wrapped in my Snuggie, wishing Spring would make its way to Ohio to stay this season.
Earth Day is kind of a big deal, for people and animals both big and small, young and old. That's why when my good friends at National Geographic Kids asked me to partner with them to host a very special giveaway celebrating our Planet Earth, I hopped right on board. The awesome folks at NatGeo Kids came up with an amazing collection of books, perfect for kids of all ages and stages, that will help them to further learn and appreciate our Planet, and even learn ways to help make it a better place. From animal babies to sloth adventures, to water, to trash and more, this book bundle has something for every Earthling. I'd love to tell you a little about each title before we get to the giveaway!

I don't own the music, but thought it was worth sharing. This song absolutely GUTTED me....Especially when paired with this video. I can SO relate, but I chose to reject the bottle rather than use it for comfort.
Has anyone heard this song? It's on NF's new album, HOPE. Definitely worth listening to. This man could be inside my head with some of his work. 
Whether a beginner or an experienced pianist, learning a new skill will always take time, it's important to set both short- and long-term goals and work toward them. It's crucial to find a piano teacher who aligns with your goals and will guide you in real time. These tips will help you get the most out of your online piano lessons. ExperienceWhether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, there are a few things you need to know before enrolling in a virtual piano lesson. One is that you need a reliable internet connection. Another is that you must ensure your teacher can see you and your hands during the lesson. This is particularly important for students who have mobility issues or cannot drive to a teacher in their area. Streaming video software is necessary for virtual piano lessons. These apps are easy to use and provide a clear view of your instructor's screen to see your hand positions, posture and the piano keyboard. QualificationBefore enrolling in a virtual piano lesson, you should have a few important questions in mind. These include whether you want to learn the piano and what you hope to achieve from your time with a piano teacher online. Consider the qualifications of your piano instructor, as well as the technology behind their online teaching methods. For example, many reputable online piano lesson websites such as the Forbes Music Company use an 'expert system' to deliver high-quality lessons to their students. A good piano teacher will be able to give you an online piano lesson that matches the quality of a face-to-face one and will be able to offer extra teaching aids to improve your learning experience. For example, many websites above feature extra perks like weekly live group Skype sessions to enhance your learning experience. FlexibilityFlexibility is the capacity of muscle tissues and connective tissue to elongate (stretch). Age, bone structure, muscle mass, excess fatty tissue, and joint health can affect it. Getting more flexible can take time and patience. But it's worth trying if you want to improve your playing or have fun. A good online piano lesson site should offer a combination of archived video lessons and bespoke software that delivers structured learning with progress tracking and instant visual feedback. They should also have flexible, good-value subscription plans. CommunicationA good student and teacher communication is key to successful online piano lessons. This involves verbal and non-verbal feedback and is critical for learning music theory. These are often done through video conferencing apps and can be used with any smart device. A camera and microphone are also essential, as is access to a fast internet connection. Most music lesson providers have a fun and engaging method that helps learners learn notes and rhythms through video game-like tutorials. It's best for beginners and teenagers who want to play popular music for fun. PaymentOnline piano lessons are becoming increasingly popular as the demand for learning music at home has increased. They are a great substitute for in-person classes when you don't live near a teacher. They are also a great option for students who need help to focus on traditional piano lessons. Concentrating on an online class is much easier when there are no distractions such as TVs, phones and other devices. Online piano lessons have their drawbacks, however. For starters, you need a fast internet connection to ensure that video and audio streams are crystal clear.

WALMART SUPER SALE Superior Source's tiny, microlingual, fast-dissolving, no pills to swallow vitamins are ON SALE NOW at Walmart for 15%-30% SAVINGS!
March is a very special month, not only because my 23 year old son was born in March, but also because this month is the start of Spring and it's Women's History Month as well!
Women have done so much to enrich our lives and history as a nation and worldwide. Names like Maya Angelou, Malala Yousafzai, Betty White, and so many more come to mind when I think of women I've looked up to. These are just a few examples of strong, wise, impactful women who have helped to shape the world as we know it with their contributions and heart. One way to honor the women in your life, and even yourself, is to take good care of yourself, mind, body, and spirit alike. Doing things like eating a healthy, balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and taking the right supplements can make a huge difference. I personally LOVE Superior Source Vitamins, because they make taking vitamins easier than ever thanks to their tiny size and microlingual technology. (That's a fancy word that just means it dissolves under your tongue.)

Do you love the MCU? My husband and teens are OBSESSED, so when we got an exclusive invitation to attend a special, advance screening of MARVEL's latest addition, ANT-MAN and the WASP QUANTUMANIA, we couldn't have been more excited. If you're not familiar with this somewhat lesser known character in the MARVEL Cinematic Universe, you can catch up by watching ANT MAN, ANT MAN and the WASP, and The Avengers: End Game. You're welcome. 
Anyway, we were beyond thrilled to catch this viewing of ANT-MAN and the WASP: QUANTUMANIA. You see, this story is an important one, and shakes up the MARVEL Universe like you wouldn't believe by introducing the Quantum Realm.
This place is new. It is vast. It is terrifying. This movie is a new beginning, and the start of a new battle against Kang, one of the most daunting villains yet.

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Today I'm gonna talk about something sensitive in nature. Something that we all do, but many won't dare speak about.
Yep. We're going there. We're going straight to the toilet for this one. Everyone does it. Pee, poo, #1, #2....No matter what you call it, it's reality for literally all of us. As organic beings, we create waste. And then, we have to clean ourselves up after that waste is expelled. For many of us, we clean up using toilet paper. Toilet paper isn't all created equal, though. It can also leave lint behind, and doesn't always leave you as clean as you might hope. Not to mention, toilet paper is really pretty expensive. What if I told you there was a better way to clean yourself after using the bathroom? A way that would leave you cleaner, but also reduce the amount of toilet paper used, saving a ton of money in the long run? It's true! The answer? A bidet. Yes. One of those fancy "water fountains" that spray your nether regions clean. While these are used and loved worldwide, there seems to be some stigma surrounding the use of bidets here in the US, and I'd love to talk about this. I'd love to tell you about our experiences using a bidet for the first time ever.  ***Disclosure: I received information and materials to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** We all know that in order for our bodies to work properly and most efficiently, it's our responsibility to make sure we're giving it the proper fuel it needs. This is especially true during the darkest, coldest, often sickest months of the year. Winter can do a doozy on a body, but there are definitely ways to help stay well during what many call "sicky season" and beyond. It's all about self-care. So, what does a body need for optimum well-being? Well, getting enough sleep is important in order to recharge our bodies. (If your kids and pets will allow it, of course!) Drinking plenty of water is also essential. A healthy, well-balanced diet and regular exercise also belong on that list. Any gaps you may have that aren't taken care of by diet alone? Well, that's where choosing the right vitamins and supplements comes into play!  I know, I know.... Taking vitamins can be a major pain. My husband, for example, hates swallowing pills. In fact, he will gag and choke, even with the teeniest, tiniest tablet. The moment he tries to swallow, it's game over, and off to the bathroom he goes to throw up. Some people truly DO have issues taking pills and supplements, but where there's a will, there's a better way. This is where Superior Source Vitamins can help! First of all, let me tell you that Superior Source is a trusted name in the Vitamin Game and has been around for over 40 years. That in itself says a lot!
