I am posting as part of the Netflix Stream Team Ambassador program. All opinions are my own. One of my goals over the summer was to teach my children a little bit about random acts of kindness. With the weather being so hot here in the midwest, I tried to keep a few water bottles in the car with me. On the occasion we would run across a homeless person while out on our drive we would offer then some water. It's a small act, but in some of … [Read more...]

Sodastream Source Home Soda Maker Sample item received for review. All opinions are my own. Our family is comprised of a mix of pop lovers and soda water lovers. The kids are drawn to "pop". Unfortunately the buying, lugging and disposing of the pop cans can be a real hassle. That's not even mentioning the ingredients in "pop" or the effect improper disposal of the cans have on the ecosystem. Sodastream seemed to be the answer for … [Read more...]

Product received for review purposes. All opinions are my own. As a parent of two girls, I have had years of frustration when it comes to gender roles and expectations. I want them to know that there are no limits for them, only stereotypes. Because of these stereotypes, many young girls are losing their interest in math and science as young as 8. That is just sad. So many of these girls are wired to be great engineers. As it stands, though, … [Read more...]
