DIY Bubble Solution and Bubble Painting Craft

This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own.

For some reason kids just love playing with bubbles. Whatever a child likes about bubbles - the benefits speak through fine motor skills, sensory skills, oral motor skills, and the list goes on. I have a special bubble solution recipe as well as a super fun and easy bubble painting craft to celebrate Teletubbies' 20 Years of Big Hugs throughout 2017 and the release of their new TELETUBBIES: BUBBLES DVD.

DIY Bubble Solution and Bubble Painting Craft


What I love about this craft is that it was so easy and the kids enjoyed it. My son is three and still has a little trouble blowing bubbles, but practice makes perfect which can help him with his speech as well.

My Summer Cruise Fashion with AmiClubWear

We are getting ready for the cruise. It is less than two weeks away and I am already starting to pack. I have been so excited for this trip! It is our 10-year wedding anniversary, my husband and I have lost almost 85 pounds between us, and we are heading to Mexico for the first time! I have been very excited about dressing up each night for dinner on the cruise. So here are some outfits I am planning on bringing.



Unboxing June Degustabox - Subscription Box for Foodies

It isn't any surprise how much I love subscription boxes, especially ones that deal with food. I have been reviewing this awesome foodie subscription box for a few months now. It has introduced me to so many new products I had never heard of, as well as try products that I had been wanting to. And the best part? You can score your first box with a free gift AND free shipping for only $9.99. More details below.


First, let's get into what was in this month's box before I start talking about the great deal you can score.

Bedtime Routine Stories from Silver Dolphin Books

We love reading in our house. Before it was part of my daughter's homework to read nightly, it has always been a part of our quiet down routine before bed. No screens, just baths, pajamas, teeth brushing, and books. That is the way I great up and I love sharing it with my children. Everyone needs some wind down time. Yes, we read books through out the day. My kids love brining me books and asking me to read them. They know I will no matter what, but there is just something I cherish about our night time routine. No matter where we are in any our daily adventures, we enjoy our nightly routine with books.


I love working with Silver Dolphin books. Each night, as part of their routine, they get to pick out a story they want to read. I received some great new titles that my kids are enjoying and yours might too.

Helping Ease the Symptoms of Leaky Gut with Restore

My mom has been having some tummy issues and what I can only call "leaky gut syndrome". I simply have no other word to describe it. Since she has been having these issues and has also tried about every probiotic under the sun, I decided to let her try out Restore that I received complimentary review through Moms Meet.


What is "Leaky Gut Syndrome"?

Stay School Ready with Catch & Learn Game + Giveaway

My daughter just graduated Kindergarten and I have been stressing this summer making sure she doesn't forget anything she learns last year. The thing is, I don't want her to stress about it. I still want her to have fun and enjoy her summer break. I was recently sent this fun game from PlaSmart called Catch and Learn. It's "the educational game where you fish for answers".


Our Family's Summer Camping Essentials

This past week we were at Target and decided to randomly go camping. I know it's crazy. But we had been thinking about buying camping equipment for a while. Target had some great deals that day and so we thought we would have a spontaneous camping trip. We had trouble finding a place to camp at first because we were adamant about camping that day, but as luck would have it we had to wait until the next day and decided to go camping and hiking at Cloudland Canyon State Park. We had been hiking there before and figured it would be cooler at night since it was in the mountains, plus the fact that there was no rain in the forecast won us over.



So here is what we discovered were our family's camping essentials:

Importance of Financial Planning

This is a sponsored conversation for SheSpeaks on behalf of Prudential. All opinions are my own.

The number one thing I have noticed about becoming a parent - kids aren't cheap. Even before we started to plan our family, we considered the expenses. Would I be able to stay home? Would we have to pay for day care? How much debt did we need to pay off? Then they are babies and they need a lot of stuff! Diapers, bottles, blankets, cribs, pacifiers, and the list is a mile long. When they get a little older you think that the expenses will slow down, but you have to pay for school, extracurricular activities, and shoes every month because they just keep growing.

Financial Planning for a Family

Even if your child is like mine and goes to public school, there are expenses every week that you need to pay for. What about when they get older - a safe car, cell phone, college, weddings... I am all for making my children get a job and help with their own finances, but there is only so much that a minimum job can pay for.

Just Call Her Snaggle Tooth {Wordless Wednesday LINKY}

This past week my husband was on vacation from work so we decided very last minute to head to Cloudland Canyon State Park and go camping/hiking. It was a lot of fun that will get into more later, but it is a three hour drive up there. On the way home, we almost didn't give ourselves enough time to take my daughter to her dentist appointment where she had to get sealants on her back teeth. One of her front teeth had already been injured and then a boy at school accidentally knocked it loose so I wanted to get it checked out as well. Both top teeth were VERY loose, so they asked her if she wanted them to take the teeth out...

Cooking at Home Made Simply Delicious: A Home Chef Review

We live a very busy on-the-go lifestyle, so sometimes finding recipes and gathering ingredients from the grocery store to make a healthy meal just doesn't happen.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis Opens at Six Flags Over Georgia {Media Day Recap}

If you follow me on Instagram then you know that last week, my family and I were invited to a media day at Six Flags Over Georgia to celebrate the opening of "JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis". It is the only ride of its kind in the Southeast. It's an indoor, interactive, action thrill ride with 4D effects for the entire family to experience together and features iconic DC Comics Super Heroes and Super Villains like Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Joker. It was also voted one of the most anticipated theme park rides for 2017!


I can't even describe how excited we were for this event.
