*** This is not a sponsored post.  I just thought it would be cool to share if you are looking for something to do this weekend and you are near a location... CREATIVITY DAY IN GEORGIA New  research  suggests kids' test scores for creativity are falling and while Atlanta school’s CRCT scores are also declining, some parents wonder if might have something to do with the prevalence of smartphone and tablets. A nationwide movement designed to unleash kids' natural curiosity and introduce them to the world of creativity is underway across Georgia this weekend. Creativity for Kids was created nearly 40 years ago by two moms who had a dream of providing creative opportunities for all children especially when access to the arts in many schools is diminishing. Studies link creativity to academic performance and their mission is to get kids making things to unlock their potential. "So far, we’ve even seen children using the can itself in Atlanta and the results are ...

Life eventually wears your body... but there are things you can do to help prevent aging... or rather "aging beautifully."  I was sent the Mama Mio Eye Know Serum for review... long story short, it took some time to finally get to us, and now I see that it has been discontinued.  Now, I see that they have a product, called SKIN TIGHT ,  that sounds about the same.. but this is a "tightening BODY serum" where the product we were sent was an "eye serum."  The thing is... this body serum says it is facial quality... so that is a great thing!   I will say that I liked the way it felt, but I did not use it regularly enough to notice a difference.   How to use   Use once (or twice!...

Side note, I LOVE hearing Broxton singing the Doc McStuffins Theme song...  "The Doc Is In... and she'll fix you up... If your a TOY- YOU'RE IN LUCK!"  Well, now we are singing the song even more, because we have a few new books from Disney Books!   We love Doc and I love that the creativity of kids is shown in this character!  Broxton has said at one point he was going to be a doctor when he watched this show... First book?   Doc McStuffins - Starry, Starry Night   (Ages 3-5) I LOVED this book!!!!  It starts off with an introduction of the characters on the show, so for you parents /grandpa...

What you didn't know is that we were there just a few days before learning what all is offered when you have a birthday party there... (You also might not have known that we went back last weekend when my parents came to town...  We really love that place... Also, we had friends that saw our review that headed there today...  we might have tried to meet them, but it was just not happening today.)   So - today I want to tell you about their birthday party options...  The day of the party was our first time at Main Event and you pull up to a massive building, it is very festive looking and let...

Since Broxton loves sports, we have several of the Lil Teammates that we have reviewed in the past...   Back when I went to the AmericasMart, I learned that they would eventually be releasing Lil Troops and you know we were SO EXCITED!    After the LONG WAIT...  We finally got an awesome toy to review!   Since daddy is Infantry, you know that we were thrilled to get the Infantryman for review...   The other we  received ?  The dessert trooper.  You know that we were thrilled with them and Broxton has been playing with them over and over again... I thought he would for sure add them with his Lil' ...

Summer time means needing to take better care of your skin...  I say that, but at the same time, I know that winter also means taking care of your skin... In actuality, we should all be taking care of our skin- every day.   We received the Mio Body Buff for review and I was surprised that Marc let me use it on him...  It was a gritty type lotion... that I rubbed on him. I was able to rub it on his back and his shoulders/legs... Then, he got in the shower and was able to enjoy a nice shower with fresh buffed skin!  I have actually used it on myself a few times and I tell you, the smoothness my skin feels is great!   • softens and hydrates for skin that feels brand new   • perfect...
