Are you always on the go? We rely on our smart phones a lot whether it's for business, personal, or keeping track of our schedules. When on the go I often find myself on the hunt to find somewhere to plug in so the worst doesn't happen… a dead battery! I was sent the GoPower Day Trip and the GoPower Long Haul to try for myself. Both of these portable batteries are so compact and light that you can take them literally anywhere with … [Read more...]
Karson Turns 6 | Rainbow Waffles and Lego Party Ideas

When your waffle maker is heated up and ready snip a … [Read more...]

12 Musical Titles Available on Netflix My love of musicals started back when I saw my first drive in movie... The Jungle Book. Although not a “true” musical, it was a musical for kids.

My Barbies performed many a musical during those years and I could probably have recited the words to Grease verbatim if asked. That’s why I was excited to see it on … [Read more...]

Installing Bees in a Top Bar Hive | #Beekeeping
by 9 Comments
Installing Bees in a Top Bar Hive | #Beekeeping My husband and I have had many conversations over the past year or so about the decline of the bee population. A lot of people don’t realize just how serious this situation could be. Bees pollinate 80 percent of our flowering crops. Things like apples, broccoli, strawberries, nuts, asparagus, blueberries and cucumbers. We are talking about 1/3 of everything we eat. Losing honey bees could also … [Read more...]

This post brought to you by The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. As a mother, it pains my heart to hear of children that are food insecure... meaning they don’t know where there next meal is coming from. When I heard that more than one in five children in the U.S were food insecure I wanted to cry. That’s nearly 16 million children, a number that could fill 8,000 playgrounds.
