This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Allstate for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Life has its ups and downs, that's true. Sometimes I think that it is easier to appreciate Life's "Ups" when we have experienced some of Life's "Downs." Do you agree? During the past year, my family has relocated a couple of times. The first move was the biggest - several thousand miles from Alaska to Utah. Once we made the decision to ...

Why Pay More For Glasses? Shop Coastal.com and Save on Designer Styles
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Coastal.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I can't tell you how many pairs of eyeglasses have been accidentally demolished at my house. We somehow manage to step on them, sit on them, or worse, leave them where the toddler gets hold of them and stretches the sides out as far as possible. It's not a pretty sight. And it's not fun for my wallet, either. Glasses can costs hundreds ...

Aerobie Skylighter Lighted Disc (review)
My family loves playing with our Aerobie Sprint Ring (review HERE), so I was excited to have the chance to play with an Aerobie Skylighter Lighted Disc. This flying disc is different from any other we've ever played with because it has an LED light that LIGHTS UP the disc so you can see it in the dark! It's really cool. Of course, it is fun to play with in the daylight, too. Aerobie discs are easy to throw and catch. We've enjoyed playing ...

Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play
Join in Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play! One Saturday a few years ago, my kids turned on the TV and came running to me screaming, "Mommy, our TV is broken!" Come to find out, the TV wasn't broken, it was Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play time. During a certain number of hours on the Worldwide Day of play, Nick goes blank in order to encourage families to spend time playing together. This year's event is going to be huge! If you are ...
Aerobie® Sprint Ring (Review)
Since 1984, Aerobie® has been making sports toys to encourage fun with physical activity. Their products include all sorts of flying rings, discs, Squidgies, footballs, and more. The Aerobie® Pro Ring was used to break the Guinness World Record of the "longest throw of an object without any velocity-aiding feature" (Erin Hemmings threw it 1,333 feet!). We recently received an Aerobie® Sprint Ring to try out and see how much fun we could have ...
Just Another Snow Day During SPRING BREAK?!!?
Yesterday, we Alaskans were basking in the sunny, 30 degree range temperatures (at least in my little part of Alaska) and wondering if spring was going to arrive a couple months early this year. Fast forward to this morning, when I woke up and looked out my back door to this scene: I KNOW I should not be surprised to see snow in Alaska in March, or April, or May, or sometimes even June....but --- I just wanted to say AAAAAAAAGH!!!! ...
