    Christmas Gift Ideas: Hasbro’s Great Gifts 2020

    December 9, 2020 /

    It’s no secret, we have many children. Like, many. And, although Christmas gift-choosing may be a headache for some, I quite enjoy it nogals. Even thought we have many children. (Like, many). Brands, like Hasbro, make it that much easier to find cool toys and games for your kids during the festive season. Hasbro even has a “Hasbro’s Great Gifts” list, which compiles all the best toys of 2020 for you. I know. It’s kiff. Here are some of my faves: Play-Doh Play-Doh officianados will vrek for some of Play-Doh’s latest releases. I mean, from slimey to color burst to super stretchy, Elastix Play-Doh… these new options are so cool!…

    It was awkward. My Valentine and I were on the most perfect date, complete with roses, a moonlit walk by the beach and Leona Lewis. Until he leaned in to give me a smooch and it left me, pretty much, knocked out by more than just his good looks. Bad breath is not cute, you guys. And when it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth and fresh breath, getting rid of dental plaque is essential. I don’t meant to be dramatic but bad breath totally has the power to make or break that special moment forever!!! *and end scene* Seriously though, plaque is almost invisible – it’s not easy to…

    Faith over Fear: Trusting God for sight

    November 14, 2019 /

    Guest post – From as far back as I can remember, I have struggled with my vision. I started wearing spectacles at the age of six and I remember the very first day I proudly brought my new apple-shaped glasses home. I stepped out of the car with a ginormous leap onto the pavement and a smile stretched from ear to ear because I could actually see where my foot was landing, for the very first time! You see, my father had glaucoma – a terrible eye disease which often leads to blindness. As an offspring, not only was I extremely nearsighted with an astigmatism in both eyes, but the…

    10 things I wish I could tell my younger self

    March 29, 2019 /

    They say age aint nothing but a number… well, yes, that’s true. Aging is all in the mind and all of that. But hey, regardless of how old you feel or don’t feel, the one thing that I appreciate the most about aging is the life lessons that one picks up along the way. If you had to meet 20 something year old me, in nineteen-voetsak, you may have gawked at her questionable taste in clothing (because I only wore skirts that were designed to fit 12 year olds) and my even more questionable taste in men (cough cough). Anyways, a chat with a friend (hey Simone!) reminded me that…

    Lies I tell myself on my birthday

    March 14, 2019 /

    My favorite thing about birthday’s is that they make you think about how not young you are. Hahaha joking. Kinda. Okay, let me start over. Hello, how are you? I’m fine thank you. It’s my birthday next week and I’m just sitting here, reminiscing on a time when I was a tad bit, you know, younger, and stuff. I love the saying about how aging and getting old is all in the mind and you’re only as old as you feel and all that other stuff you’d read on a Drake swag note or on an Oprah meme. I guess there is some truth to that, right? I mean, surely.…
