Pleygo - the first rental service for LEGO sets. This is a company that was created by parents for parents to save money and help kids develop cognitive skills through educational play time. Think of it as a "Netflix" type service for LEGO's. With today’s technology, trying to cut back on your kid’s screen time can be a daunting task. That’s where Pleygo comes in. I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical at first about Pleygo. I didn't know if my boys would like building the sets and then ...

Every Day a Blessing {Tommy Nelson Giveaway}
Every Day a Blessing by Thomas Nelson is a WONDERFUL devotional book for kids ages 6-10. However, my 5 year old has really taken a liking to it and asks if we can read our "devotional" each day from it. I love how each page has a short devotion on it (one for each day of the week, then a weekend devotional) for 365 days. In 2014, our family is really focusing on gratitude and blessings. This definitely goes along with that focus. Each devotion features Scripture and a bite-sized message ...

Save Those Photo Christmas Cards
Not sure what to do with all the photo Christmas cards you get each year? Don't throw them out just yet! Use your smart phone to take a picture of each photo card. Crop it to where you only are getting the image to be the size of the actual photo (leave the words out if you can). Then, assign the pictures you've taken into your contacts. And click "save". Then, do the same the following year. This is a great way to see the photos year round and a cute way to personalize your phone ...
Visiting Orlando Attractions During the Off Season
We're just coming back from Orlando where we have been visiting family and had a blast at Disney, Hollywood Studios, Universal, SeaWorld, and we're staying at Gaylord Palms! Our favorite time to visit Orlando, Florida is during the off season. Yes, you heard me right - in the winter. Why? The theme parks are swarmed with visitors when kids are out of school {spring break and summer seem to be the busiest} Hotels are cheaper when fewer guests are in town. The weather is perfect. It's ...
