Goodbye Kindergarden! Now What?!
Well, it’s official Alice is out of school for the summer. ACKKKK!! I’ve been very spoiled by my schedule. My daughter Selena works 4-12 hour days. I drop Alice off to school run back to their house and work on the blog for 4 hours. Then when I get home around 7PM I’m not pressured to work. Behind the popsicle says HELLO 1st Grade! (I adore my Cricut Explore Air™ 2 machine!) Now what?! What do I mean? Well, 100% my very own doing here…….. but Alice is use to this NaNa being on the floor playing with Barbie dolls, building with LEGOS, playing with My Mini MixieQ’s with her. My favorite to play with are the My Mini MixieQ’s; which if you aren’t familiar with are these super tiny little dolls that have interchangeable hair and clothing. Alice is addicted to these things. Then it’s off to the bedroom to the Barbie House that Uncle Zac built. Where we…

Summer Activities For Kids! S.T.E.M Education Activities
I’ve been looking for a way to reinforce all of the S.T.E.M education that Alice learned in school this year into our summer activities. When I was approached by TOMO to review a 2-in1 robot I was giddy!! S.T.E.M education is truly the wave of the future. An acronym for the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. So I’m right when I say this is the future for our children. Now, to incorporate this into our summer it needs to be fun. Seriously, even I don’t want to work now!! It’s SUMMER VACATION people!! Alice and I would like to introduce you to Bob! A 2-in-1 Transformable DIY Programmable Robot . Alice and I enlisted the help of PopPop to build our Robot. Alice immediately christened the robot as Bob!! The instructions are easy to follow and clearly written. There are two options to build Bob (obviously with the 2-in-1 name right!) You can either build Bob (aka TOMO)…

How We Appear Is How We Are Perceived
I really like that line! HOW we are perceived. My 2017 new year’s resolution was to put my best face forward. Over the last 6 months I have made an effort to put on my face and do my hair. I work in a male-dominated field and deal mostly with crooks and tweakers so it’s hard to get excited about wearing makeup or be perceived as a strong, vibrant, intelligent woman. In November, I went to a seminar and in one of the sessions, there was an engineer turned motivational speaker and she was talking about how we appear is how we are perceived. She’s right, if I constantly wear jeans and t-shirts and never wear makeup or make an effort to do my hair then I feel ho-hum, I give off a ho-hum vibe and are easily overlooked and underestimated. Still skeptical? I was too, she gave me three pieces of advice and for 6 months I have been…
