Refresh and Hydrate with Vitapod

We can all use a little boost every now and then. I have to admit I do not always get my daily vitamins and minerals in like I should. It makes all the difference when I do. Thanks to Vitapod, I am feeling more refreshed and hydrated than ever before!

Pudding Makes The Perfect Picnic Treat

We love packing up for a picnic at our house. It is one of our favorite family activities. Yes we pack the sandwiches, veggies, but we also pack the treats. We have added WayFare Pudding to our list of favorite snacks to pack because they are simply delicious!

Pokémon Snap On The Nintendo Switch

Gotta catch them all! If you or your kiddos enjoy Pokémon, then you are going to love this fun new game for the Nintendo Switch. Introducing the new Pokémon Snap. This is a fun interactive game where you can search for your favorite Pokémon in their amazing world.

Spirit Untamed – A Story of Friendship, Bravery & Love

We love horses in our home and my daughter has been in love with Spirit since her debut on Netflix. She has been eagerly anticipating the release of DreamWorks Spirit Untamed. With a great cast and fresh story line, it peaked the interest of Spirit fans all over. We loved watching Spirit gallop on the big screen, it is a wildly entertaining story with heart and adventure!

What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day

Moms deserve nothing but the best. We all know moms could use some alone time and I wanted to share some of my personal suggestions along with a gift recommendation that will leave moms everywhere smiling from ear to ear!

Why Families Need Circle Parental Controls

As a parent, I’ll be the first to admit sometimes our screen time gets the best of us. We’ve all been there and indulged in too much time, or maybe you were surprised by the access your child has to certain apps and sites. Parents, meet Circle. Circle is a wonderful parental control service that comes with optional app and in home devices. If you have kids who have access to the internet or any screen time, you need Circle.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run – Silly As Ever

Who’s ready for a trip to Bikini Bottom and beyond? My kids have been eagerly awaiting the new movie starring SpongeBob SquarePants, and they really enjoyed it! My son is a lifelong SpongeBob fan and was excited to see this new silly adventure. Is it enjoyable for kids and parents? I give it 2 sponges up!

Tom and Jerry The Movie – Wonderful and Whacky!

We all know and love the most famous of frenemies… Tom and Jerry! This is a cartoon and a group of characters that go back generations. I was so excited to watch the hilarious new movie starring our favorite cat and mouse. I even had the chance to chat with the Director of the film, Tim Story. Checkout my movie review and interview!

LOVE CORN – The Perfect Family Snack

To say I always have a snack in my hand would be the understatement of the century. I am a mom of 3 working at home while my kids are virtual learning at home. The only way we get through the long days are with lots of patients and lots of snacks! I don’t know about you, but I prefer salty over sweet. I love anything with a crunch. My new snack obsession is LOVE CORN and I am head over heels for this crunchy, tasty snack.

Real Life Super Mario Fun with Nintendo

We all have been spending more time indoors lately. Our family loves to play games, have themes dinner nights, and of course play our Nintendo Switch. One of our all time favorite games is Mario Kart. There is something about picking your character, the vehicle and racing for those coveted bragging rights. It results in all kinds of fun, laughter and silliness in our home. We were so excited to take our Mario Kart fun to the next level with the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game. We are also super excited to check out the LEGO Super Mario Adventures!
