Exploring New Game Play This Summer w/ Pokémon Sword and Shield #Review #ad #Nintendo

Nintendo is not only a classic in our gaming household but the Switch is has become a family favorite.  We even have two consoles and it still isn't enough for everyone to play equally.  With the world the way it is, a variety of entertainment is key for kids, especially when being stuck at home.  The Switch has been the perfect console for our family because of it's flexible game play and portability.  

Family Fun w/ Nintendo Switch eShop Anywhere Anytime

Boy has the world changed over the last year for families all around the world.  A little over a year ago, the world seemed to have little time for family and what we once believed was essential, isn't even a thought now.  Our family has found a deeper meaning to this eye opening time and shifted our focus within.  We stopped working past "work hours", put down our phones, turned off the news, and we focused on one thing - FAMILY.

Warm Up w/ the Refreshing Minty Taste of Junior Mints Hot Cocoa

Easy Outdoor Fun w/ PAW Patrol PlasmaCar from PlaSmart - Review and #Giveaway

When I was a child we spent every hour of daylight we had outdoors, usually riding bikes and keeping active with neighborhood friends.  I am always looking for ways to get my kids out and staying active which hasn't been too difficult until now.  As a Mother of boys, I can honestly say I had no clue how much things would change when we added a 3rd boy to the mix.

Have a Blast This Holiday with Singing Machine - Review #HGG

When I first met my husband, it was quite exciting to find not only did he share the same love for music I had but he was actually very musically talented.  He had produced a CD in his early 20's as the lead singer in a band and was very dependent on surrounding himself with music!  Obviously, we have always been a very musically motivated family and more-so a family that entertains constantly!  We have always found a way to incorporate music into our whole families life. 

Flybar Gets Those Kids Moving This Holiday! Review and #Giveaway #HGG

When I was a child we spent every hour of light we had outdoors, usually riding bikes.  I am always looking for ways to get my kids out and staying active.  When the boys were little we always took them on bike rides but as they've gotten older and we've moved to the country, they don't ride as often at home.  Last year my Mother attempted to purchase a Pogo stick for the very same reason.  While, I was too worried my accident prone son would hurt himself using it, this is how I discovered the brand Flybar.

ArmoGear is This Years Top #HolidayGift for Everyone You Know! #HGG #GiftGuide

I have always heard crazy stories about my Dad's childhood (having four boys in their family) as well as the shenanigans that my husband and his twin brother always got into.  I knew having four children would keep me constantly on my toes and on the go, although not quite the extent.  Now having my own (3) boys, I understand something I never did before.  Boys are a whole different level of craziness and energy!!

Be Brave and Kind and Love More w/ The Talking Shirt

I have always been one of those people who loves to find unique and out of the ordinary clothing and accessories especially those that help better express myself.  I am all about expressing your personality through clothing, hair color, tattoos, and any other way you feel.  Back when I was in college I used to love finding shirts that had creative or quirky sayings on them.  Now I live for finding shirts that not only represent me but set an example for my kids to see good in the world.

Psyched for Summer Part 2

My entire family is very active throughout the year but especially in the summer.  We use any excuse we can find to spend time outdoors which also includes a lot of outdoor activities like sports and camping.  We especially enjoy tailgating and entertaining of any kind as you might already know.  That being said, I've got several products we've already made sure we have on hand to get our Summer started off the right way!

LISTEN with BuddyPhones

Both Dane and Declan have always been very into music and I think having a natural musical talent just like their Father.  Constantly on the go, we try to keep music a part of everything we do because of this love for music as a family.  A lot of times this means portable devices and headphones for everyone.  Most head phones just aren't very kid friendly and if they are something the kids could use, they are beyond costly, too much to take the chance they might break them.
