6 Tips For The Cold And Flu Season

received this product for free from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review. You can join Smiley360 here!
So we like to label everything now. Cold and Flu season for example. Unfortunately you can get a cold or the flu any time not just during the Cold and Flu season. I wish there would be a day to mark on my calender when I could relax that the season for getting sick would just be over, but that's not the case. Year-round there are preventative measures we can all take to help ourselves and others keep the nasty cold bug at bay. Here are just a few of my own tips that I've found to work well for my family.

Life can move so fast that sometimes we forget the struggles of others and we start to see the world through a very narrow scope. Motherhood is a tough job, but what if you were thrown into motherhood without ever having a good role model and had no place to call home? Gimme Shelter appears to be a raw look into a young woman's life and how she dealt with the challenges to find a place she could call home.

Meet the new Grilled Tilapia from Gorton's! It's funny how as you get older your taste buds really change, I never used to like fish, but now I seem to crave it. Perhaps I just didn't know what I liked or just didn't know how to prepare it, but I'm discovering I love seafood. I was challenged by Gorton's to make a recipe using one of their new grilled products and I chose to use Tilapia.

Big Fun At #MonsterJam

I received free tickets to this event in exchange for sharing my honest opinions. See Disclosure.
Roar! That was the muffled sounds we heard from the huge trucks coming through our earplugs at Monster Jam. The Booper sat very still (if you know most 3-year-old boys that is rare) he was concentrating. I'm not sure if he believed his own eyes at first. It was the coolest thing ever. I did watch the trucks but for so much of the evening I was watching my son as he experienced the awe of seeing those big tires crushing the cars beneath. When the first truck roared to life his mouth hung open about to drool-priceless!

Learning Goes Wild With Bug Discovery!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a bit of a geek, and I love toys that are unique in offering educational value. When I spotted this Anteater Bug Vac from Uncle Milton I knew this would be a great way to introduce the Booper to studying bugs. I've noticed a lot of children are scared of bugs, and I think parents might be missing out on some valuable teaching moments by encouraging fear. That's why this bug collecting vacuum is so amazing! Your child can collect and observe bugs without ever touching them, so if you're worried about bites or stings this will keep their hands clear.

Feeding Our Feathered Friends With Perky Pet

I received the below mentioned product free for the purpose of review, all views and opinions are my own honest evaluations. See Disclosure. 
As the weather takes a turn from cold to bitter cold here in Indiana we are taking extra steps to take care of our feathered friends. During the cold Winter months it's a good idea to put out a bird feeder since it's harder for birds to find nourishment. We chose the Squirrel Slammer feeder since we have lots of squirrels on our block and though we enjoy watching them frolic in the yard we didn't want them stealing the bird feed. This feeder has a unique design that helps to keep pesky squirrels from turning our feeder into their own buffet. When weight is put on the feeder it drops down closing the feeder holes, so the squirrels can't get the food.
