We received a hoverboard in order to do this review. All opinions are our own. One of the hottest gifts this holiday season is a hoverboard. For obvious reasons, they are just unbelievably awesome. We had the privilege of testing a Swagtron T5 hoverboard out and sharing our experience with you. I know that after watching our video, you are going to want to get one for your kids. They are so fun to ride on, and not only does it encourage outdoor play and activity, but it helps them learn b ...

Christmas list TOP TOY: K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster
This post was sponsored on behalf of K'NEX. All opinions stated are my own. Christmas is just around the corner and parents everywhere are looking for the perfect gift for their kid. You want to get something fun and engaging but also education and fun. It is hard to find toys like this that aren't just tossed aside a couple of weeks after they are opened. Being a mom of four, I have had my fair share of toy successes and toy flops when it comes to what we have given our kids as gifts. One of ...
Wood Photo Board DIY
We just moved into a new house a couple of months ago, and in the transition, my oldest got her own room. She is beyond thrilled, and we have been working to decorate it cute and make it hers. She loves the color turquoise, and she loves photography, so I thought it would be fun to make her a wood photo board that she can hang on her wall and keep her favorite photos from our adventures on. I had her help me make it because I wanted her to learn how to do it, and also because I love spending ...
Back to School with Comcast
Next week, school starts again. I am blown away by how fast the summer has gone, but we have had so much fun. In addition to the traveling that we have enjoyed, we have spent a lot of time at home. While we are at home we rely on a good internet and TV service. I have four kids, and keeping them happy and busy is a priority, but I can't do it by myself. While they enjoy their time outside, they like to play on their tablets and watch movies. They also enjoy playing games on the computer. All of ...

10 ways to keep your kids safe online
This post was sponsored on behalf of Net Nanny via One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own. I am talking about 10 ways to keep your kids safe online. For many (or all) of you that have kids that are old enough to sit up on their own, then I am sure that they have at one point or another played on a tablet, phone, etc. As kids get older they like to have their own stuff - and since pretty much everything has access to the internet now, you start to wonder "are my kids safe online?" ...
Denon HEOS M5 Speaker Review
This post is brought to you by Denon. All opinions are 100% my own. Music is such a big part of my life. I am always singing or humming or dancing to a tune in my head. My kids giggle sometimes and then join me. It is great. For this very reason I like to have a speaker in every room of my house. My kitchen was the only one that was lacking a good speaker, and I was do excited when we got the Denon HEOS M5 Speaker. Not only does the speaker look awesome, but it also sounds great. You ...
Last minute gift ideas #giftgiving
I’m sharing #VerizonMobileGifting in my life as part of a Verizon Wireless sponsored series for Socialstars™ Whether it is a birthday, anniversary or the holidays, it seems that I always miss getting someone a gift.

Now I have the ability to use the Verizon Message+ app and send digital gift cards. The eGifting expansion allows customers to choose from over 30 m ...

Remote control has a whole new meaning with the new Sphero Darkside Ollie. Sphero has done it again with this fun and entertaining droid. The Darkside Ollie can go up to 14 mph and do all sorts of fun tricks. It is made to withstand a lot with its heavy duty body and beefy tires to help with traction. Darkside Ollie is controlled with your phone or tablet through the Ollie app available in the Google Play store or the Apple store. Installing the app and setting that up shouldn't take long, but ...
