S - Science T - Technology E - Engineering M - Math Now, it seems like STEM is everywhere, or either I just notice it more now than before.  Did you know that great kids shows like BLAZE  and the Monster Machines also teaches STEM?

Please take a minute to think about your insurance.  I know it isn't one that many think about all the time, but since watching the destruction from the tornadoes in Albany, Georgia , I can't begin to imagine what they are going through right now. *** This is a sponsored post.*** Insurance Claim Nightmare: Does Your Insurance Company Really Have Your Back?
