This #HungerHeroes shop on how to fight hunger has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

At one time or another, you have probably heard the statistics on hungry kids right here in our own backyards.  Sometimes those facts have a tendency to kind of pass by our ears, but not really sink in.  The truth of the matter is that one in five kids in the US are hungry.

Be a Hunger Hero and Fight Hunger! #HungerHeroes

Any time I hear those numbers, it makes me shake my head.  We live in an affluent country, how can that possibly be true?  But there is some significant poverty in the USA and some kids honestly do have to wonder where their next meal comes from. Continue reading »

I received an Evenflo ProComfort Symphony DLX car seat and compensation in order to facilitate my review. All words and opinions are my own.

Bubbles has always been tall, usually in the 85-90th percentile for height.  But lately she seems to have taken another growth spurt.  Clothes, shoes – not much fits for long.

The Evenflo ProComfort Symphony Car Seat #EvenfloPlatinum

Another thing she has been outgrowing?  Her car seat.  Even though weight-wise and age-wise she still met the requirements, I just felt like she was getting a little cramped in there.  So when the Evenflo ProComfort Symphony DLX All-In-One car seat arrived on our doorstep recently, I was really interested to see just how it would stack up.

This introduction to the Outlander series on Starz has been sponsored by Time Warner Cable. All thoughts and words are my own.

It’s time to put your kilts on and party like it’s 1743.  The Outlander series, adapted from the international best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon, is about to hit Starz courtesy of Time Warner Cable.

Outlander Series on Starz

I haven’t had the chance to read the books myself yet, but the premise sounded so good that when I heard the original series was being developed for Starz, I was definitely excited.  And having now had the chance to watch a sneak peek of the first two episodes, I have a really good feeling about the new show.
