Back in February, I reviewed the iPad in Education for Dummies book by Sam Glickson.  After having used the tips and suggestions in it in our homeschool for the last 6 months, I wanted to share a vlog of 5 reasons I think the book is worth getting for not just educators, but parents and really anyone who is wanting to use their iPad more efficiently and effectively for learning.

It’s not very long, just 5 minutes (that means just 1 minute per reason, see that’s not much!), so grab your coffee and sit with me a while!

I’m trying to make it a priority to eat healthier in our home. Sometimes that can be hard to do when you’re feeding picky eaters though.

Since we’re big snackers, I’m starting there, replacing chips and cookies with more wholesome options.

If you’re looking for the ultimate popcorn recipe for an epic movie night at home, this is it.

We’ve been spending most of our evenings indoors the past couple of weeks, because it’s so hot.  We did venture out to check out our local library the other day, and I borrowed Jurassic Park in 3D on DVD to watch.  I decided we had to have something completely yummy to nosh on while we watched it because dinosaurs in 3D are just scary even if they are 20 years old and computer generated, and quite honestly popcorn makes everything better.

Is it just me, or is one of the hardest things to do when making lunch every day for your kids is coming up with new ideas?  I feel like I get in a rut where week after week it’s the same old thing.  That’s the beauty of eMeals.

In case some of you haven’t been watching the national weather, it’s HOT here in Texas!  Since our family seems to get caught up in Murphy’s Law more often than not, it’s really no surprise that not only did it work out that we moved here smack dab in the middle of July, but that there would be a heat wave going on too!  The other day it soared up to temperatures where the heat index hit 108! 

This past week I received a mobile sleeve to review from a company called MUJJO.  MUJJO is based in The Netherlands and their products are all made with excellent Dutch craftsmanship.  Since I have a plethora of cases for my iPhone, I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy S3 sleeve for my husband’s new phone, which until now he’s been using completely unprotected.

Fisher Nuts asked me to find a simple way to freshen up a summer recipe and take my cuisine to a new level.

So they sent me a cooking with nuts pack so I could create my own summer recipe.  Nothing says summer like s’mores. Am I right?!

BUT, I don’t have a fire pit or chimenea to roast my marshmallows in, AND, I want to not just highlight some Fisher Nuts in these s’mores but make them a bit more “grown up” too…

Earlier this week I had let you know about the Free Mobile App from Vonage Mobile.

The app allows you to make phone calls, text and video chat for free with other users that have the app installed.  And for a limited time, using the app you can call with it to landlines and mobile phones within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico for free too (up to 3000 minutes per month!).  We’ve been using the app for a couple of weeks now and we think it is wonderful.
