Canon IVY CLIQ
I love to take photos to document our travels and adventures as well as everyday moments in my kids life.
Once I have my favorites, I’ll post my favorites to Instagram and then the others just sit to be looked at one day in the future. Although truthfully that never happens. They become lost in a digital world. Now thank’s to the Canon IVY CLIQ I can instantly print my favorites to share, decorate my office or travel journal or for gasp, a photo album!

Celebrate National Reading Month with These Tips to Encourage Reading

Happy National Reading Month y’all! Fostering a love of reading in my children is something very near and dear to me. When I was growing up, I LOVED to read. You could almost always find me with a book in hand pretending I was being transported away to another time and place. Reading helped form my imagination and took me to places I could only dream of. So naturally, reading is a top priority in our house and our homeschool. Since it’s National Reading Month, I can’t think of a better time to share my tips to encourage reading.

5 Ways a Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet Can Enhance Your Holiday Traditions

Holiday traditions are such a important part of my holiday celebrations every year. When I was growing up, I remember how excited my sister and I were when the holidays rolled around. That meant holiday movie marathons, fun cookie baking sessions and decorating the tree while holiday music filled the air.  Even today when re-creating these same traditions with my kids I get a little nostalgic thinking back to all the fun I had. I want my kids to have these same memories as they grow up and one day start these same traditions with their own families. In the meantime, I savoring every minute all while creating new traditions that we’ll all cherish for years to come. Thanks to technology, the same traditions I grew to love are only getting better with the addition of the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet.  Yes, the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet makes it BETTER!

The Must Have Gift for Any Gamer on Your List – Turtle Beach Recon 200

The Must Have Gift for Any Gamer on Your List - Turtle Beach Recon 200

When you have a gamer and a wannabe gamer (in this case me) in the house, things like video games, controllers and headsets become household talk. Shopping for said accessories has even been a great way for me to bond and spent some quality time with my teen. When the key to his heart is video games, shopping for video game accessories definitely puts him in a happy mood. Thankfully he’s become quite the expert in this field and he’s schooling his mama on how to become a force in the gaming world. Or at least a force in this gaming house. The first tip?  He won’t let me settle for a pair of cheap headphones. In his words, if I want to be the best, I need to play with the best.  Fair enough. His choice for gaming headphones – the Turtle Beach Recon 200. After playing a few rounds of Fortnite, I can see why.

How Comcast’s Internet Essentials Program Helps Bridge the Digital Divide

With a new school year just weeks away, I’m busy picking up new back to school clothes for the kids, book bags and supplies to make sure my kids have a successful school year. It’s amazing how far technology has come and how much students today rely on the internet and essentials like a computer or laptop for a successful school year.  But the sad reality is there are many families who can’t afford the extra expense of internet access or even a computer. Comcast wants to help change that with their Internet Essentials Program. [Read more…] about How Comcast’s Internet Essentials Program Helps Bridge the Digital Divide

  • Still one of my favorite memories! Dale grabbed Evie’s hand and took her to roast some marshmallows on our Disney Cruise 🚢 to Alaska. Hard to believe that was almost a year ago!

  • Do you have a favorite resort at Walt Disney World? We’ve stayed at so many it’s tough for me to pick a favorite. Last November we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and loved it! The kids loved watching the animals, especially the giraffes 🦒. Our room faced the Savannah and it anytime we were in the room, they raced out there to try and spot the animals. It was such a stunning resort and I cannot wait to stay there again. In a few weeks we’re headed back to our favorite place. To check out all the #WDWFall fun! So stay tuned! 😉 • • • • • • #disney #wdw #disneyhotels #animalkingdomlodge #akl #disneymom #disneyfamilia #disneysmc #disneylife #disneyworld #disneyphotography #disneyig #disneyfamily #disneylifestyle #igdisney

  • #ad Ok ladies, let’s talk periods. Most women hate their period, but for some, heavy periods can impact their health and wellbeing. In a recent survey, 3 in 5 women reported at least one symptom of heavy periods, but more than half of those women (57%) never discussed it with their doctor. It’s time to break the silence. Heavy periods keep women from living their life to the fullest, but there are treatment options that can help. Don’t wait to start the conversation with your doctor.
