Elmo also makes some new friends along with way, including Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Amy Adams (Junebug, American Hustle, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), singer/songwriter and YouTube sensation Tori Kelly, and Fifth Harmony, the critically acclaimed-group of women who can regularly be found on the Billboard charts. Love to Learn 2 includes an additional full-length episode, School for Chickens, as well as two animated storybooks.

Home Entertainment Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. “The release of Love to Learn 2 allows kids the chance to learn valuable lessons from their favorite fuzzy monsters both in and out of the classroom while showcasing how kindness really goes a long way.”

Charlie the Cavalier Goes for a Walk




Charlie the Cavalier Goes for a Walk
written by 
Dr. Lisa Rusczyk 



This book Charlie the Cavalier Goes for a Walk, which is number 5 tells the story of Lilly and Charlie going on a hike and everything they see along the way. Great pictures, and easy to read story are sure to delight your little one. There is plenty of things that can be found in the pictures to spark a conversation with little bits of learning thrown in. A good book for the little ones out there to enjoy. 

My daughter enjoys the rhyming that is throughout the story. Make sure you check out other books by Lisa Rusczyk as well. This book can be found at the link below.

Hydration while running




My girls are pretty active in the spring, summer, and fall, between walking, running, playing, and biking. I am forever telling them to drink water, to re-hydrate themselves. Still they come in most of the time really thirsty. We have tons of water bottles but they either lose them or forget them. So I needed a way to make sure that their drinks were literally on their body.

Along came our first running belt with water bottles and the idea took off. Now they have a spot for their music, some money, and for their water. Now I can be sure that they will have hydration for as long as the bottles hold out.

What I like about this belt is that it has two pockets. The water bottles are kind of small but this is for my youngest daughter and should last her a good bike ride or while she is playing with friends. In the pocket we can fit a snack, and any other little things she would like to take with her. Since the water bottles are attached I don't have to worry about loss as much as before.

The downside to this pouch is that it is quite small even at it's largest size so that people who are bigger like me have no chance of actually wearing it for fitness. If I can find a company that makes them big enough for my size I would be really happy but for now knowing my girls will have what they need with them while they are at play or exercising is good enough for me.

The Fun Fitness hydration belt can be found on my link below.

A Bluetooth just for me





So here I am finally talking about a Bluetooth Speaker just for me. I have had several but each time a family member scoops it up and I am left with none. Not this time, this one is all mine.

What I love most about this Bluetooth Speaker from AncordWorks is that  it easily pares with my devices, and is rechargeable. I can use this while meditating, doing yoga, doing dishes, or even blogging. Most of the time I am streaming music through my cell phone or my computer so I am limited by sound, but with this speaker I can really let my music fill the air around me with joyful uplifting music that gets me through my day.

You can see our video review here. You can also find it at my link below.

Sagano Activated Charcoal Powder



I have tried several different activated charcoal teeth whitening powders and they have all worked pretty much the same but this one from #Sagano has an awesome mint flavor and taste. Others claimed to be mint flavored but there was no noticeable mint at all. With Sagano we could smell it as soon as we opened the container.

This is another thing I love about Sagano the container has a flip top lid instead a screw top lid which makes it easier to use.

I do want to be clear because apparently I wasn't to my 15 year old because she had been using this everyday but you are only supposed to use this 2-3 times a week, not for every brushing.



If you are looking for a healthy whiter smile try using activated charcoal powder for teeth, it might just be what will work for you. Sagano can be found at my link below.
