The Rocky Workout!!
This video is too funny not to share!! Not to mention the fact that I just don’t feel like writing! So enjoy!!!! Great! The Rocky Workout video is gone. So, instead: Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨ Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral. Welcome to my glamorous life. Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting. Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past. This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge. “Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”Poof. Gone. “That product review with beautifully staged shots?”Vanished into the ether. Now posts look like: Step 1: Do the thingStep 2: [image missing]Step 3: Trust me Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes.…

iClever Headphones For Kids AND GIVEAWAY!!
Those of you that have younger kids or have young grandkids have probably seen and heard the YouTube videos that are geared towards kids. Most of the videos are of kids either opening packages of blind bags or playing with Barbie’s or Baby Alive. A couple of them I can handle. However, five-year-old Alice could watch for hours if you let her. She also is not a fan of turning the sound down on her iPad. To say I was thrilled to be offered kid friendly iClever headphones for review is an understatement. SO GIDDY!! So many reasons!! Starting with the most important feature is the Kid Safe Volume Limiting Technology. What exactly is Volume Limiting Technology? It’s built-in volume-limiting circuitry that keeps the sound pressure down to levels recommended as safe for young ears and will not blow their eardrums!!! These headphones limit the volume to 85 db. A safe level for kids. I love that! I know that Alice who loves her videos loud isn’t hurting her ears. AND I don’t have to hear any of them! It’s a double win!! The headphones are durable. I don’t know if you are aware, but that sweet little five-year-old Alice…

Here Comes The Bride!!
Nooooo, I’m not getting married. And neither is my adorable model 5-year-old Alice. But this dress made Alice feel like a bride! So much so that we spent an entire afternoon making the living-room bride central. We started with Alice’s pretend make up set where I channeled my inner Bobbi Brown and did her subtle make up to make her inner beauty shine. (Am I good or WHAT!!??) Alice would hold the mirror as I applied her makeup. I would say ‘do you see how this color brings out your eye color?’ Alice actually SAW color and would say “YOU are RIGHT!” I love, love, LOVE imagination play!! When Alice’s makeup was done (she wouldn’t let me touch her hair!!) we put on the dress. This flower girl dress from AbbyAbbie.Li is amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I swear I would get married in this dress if they had my size!! Heck, I would wear this dress around the HOUSE just to feel beautiful. So AbbyAbbie.Li folks could ya work on that?? From the hang tag on I was in LOVE!! This dress has so many layers!! Are you ready for this?? Eight LAYERS!! The sleeveless dress is fully lined. I mean lined…

See You Later, Alligator!!
Ha Ha! Did that worry you? Pallllease…. I’m not going anywhere for a while. (I hope!!) See You Later, Alligator is a children’s book written by Sally Hopgood and Illustrated by Emma Levey. What a cute story this one is!! Imagine a cute little tortoise and the largest Zoo you’ve ever been in. The adorable little tortoise is heading out to explore the world! He has his camera, sleeping bag, knapsack packed and he is ready for an adventure! However, he can’t possibly leave without saying goodbye to his friends. Each. AND. Every. Single. One!! This reminded me of trying to get my kids to say their prayers at night. When we would get to the and… God Bless, Mommy. God Bless, Daddy. I would be gritting my teeth when were blessing the family that lived on the corner 3 years ago. (I think it’s bad if you growl at your kids while they are blessing people though… right???) So, as I was saying, the tortoise goes around to say his goodbyes in sing-song goodbyes like See you later, Alligator. I’ll be a while crocodile. Each of the cute sayings has a colorfully, fun illustration to match. Five-year-old Alice cracked up when we got…
