Teachers have been rockstars this year!   At least the ones I know have! From having to learn virtual to having to teach kids with fear in their hearts and minds.  I love that Fernbank has seen this and is thanking teachers!  Just make sure you take advantage of this BEFORE MAY 31st! Please note, it is a nomination for the teacher you choose, not a guaranteed membership.  Read more below: FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Seems like it is in the water these days... Several of my friends are pregnant or have recently had a new addition to the family. Another thing I have noticed, craft beer is becoming more and more popular!   Luckily, there is a drink out there that can help with the desire to have a drink, but stay safe.  I wanted to share with you a drink that was sent for me to try out.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

I am not a fan of beer.   I have yet to find one I like.  (Sorry, that means ALL beer, none excluded!)  Now, my dad and my brother will crack one open and so I wanted to get a beer drinkers thoughts.  My brother and sister in law came to town and I asked the...

You know how you pass by  places and think of it, but never really follow through?  Well, we live near Mellow Mushroom and while we see it often, it isn't when we are thinking about food so we never go there to eat.  UNTIL RECENTLY.  We were given the chance to work with Mellow Mushroom to remind YOU - in case you needed the reminder - about a few deals they have as we get ready for the big game!  (or prepare early for Valentines!)  Guests can order  online .

 As we all know, 2020 threw many things our way.  It was for sure a year to remember!!  I was so excited to get a calendar to document all the good that is bound to come our way.  I started looking for the perfect one, but nothing was grabbing my attention like I knew I wanted.  Then, I was introduced to Workman Publishing and the rest is history!   A good friend of mine is slightly obsessed with True Crime. She watches them all the time and listens to podcasts on her lunch break.  When I saw that Workman Publishing had " A Year of True Crime" page a day calendar, I knew that I wanted to get it just for her.   She was so excited and she and another co-worker looked through almost a whole month in the beginning, as they could not stop turning the pages!    Something that I love?   The fact that the the back of the page has a grid on it, so you can use it for scratch paper the next day.  I think she has enjoyed it ...

With the new year here, it is time to take control and find more time to make memories, as we all know, time flies.  I have shared our love of Slammers before, but I wanted to tell you about them again, as they are still as good as they once were.  I don't know about you, but if I can find a way to take care of the kids, giving them healthier options for snacks than just a bag of chips or candy... Then I am all for it.  Especially if it is going to STRENGTHEN their immune system.  More time enjoying life and less time stressing choices - that is a win for me!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

One thing is for certain, COVID 19 changed so many things about life as we once knew it.  Now, instead of asking the kids if they have their school work and what not, you have to make sure to ask if they have their mask.  Masks are required for transportation to/from school, as well as in classes.   We wear them at work, but ours are provided to us.  One thing I do miss?  Seeing people smile!   I smile with my eyes and notice others too, but a big ol' toothy grin can melt hearts!    FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.
