A big thank you to General Mills® for sponsoring today’s post. One way we love to gear up for back to school is by collecting Box Tops to turn into my children’s school. Our school has been able to use their Box Tops earnings in the last few years to make some great technology purchases and I have loved seeing firsthand how beneficial the program is. This year to get my kids excited for the new school year we decided to make a fun Back to School Bus Craft with Box Tops that couples as a fun and unique way for children to turn in their Box Tops at school....

What would a Halloween caramel apples recipe be without it? Well, that one’s an answerable question, it’s just an apple on a stick....

The dog, also known as a canine, is a domesticated carnivorous mammal that typically has a long snout. Dogs are also known for their intuitive sense of smell as well as their distinct barking, howling, and whining voice. A dog is considered a man’s best friend because of their dependence on humans. Without a doubt, we’ve all dreamt of having a pet dog. With its huge, gleaming eyes and playful attitude, the charm of a dog is absolutely irresistible....

I put together an Easter Egg Sensory Bin for my daughter last week and it was a hit! We are still working on recognizing our numbers so I decided to incorporate some learning in the bin with number and color matching. I used 12 eggs, 2 of each color of green, purple, orange, yellow, pink and blue. I also covered 6 empty toilet paper rolls in coordinating colors of paper and cut them in half....

Having the BenQ 4K HDR Projector in our homes has been amazing. We got a few good TVs in here with sizable screens and 4K quality. But the size and clarity of the image that comes with this is something else. You can turn an entire wall into a screen. Now if that isn’t something that’ll make your TV watching more enjoyable, we don’t know what will. Using the BenQ 4K HDR Projector is pretty simple....

The latest science on the best breakfasts for weight loss suggests people who eat a high-protein meal consume fewer calories the rest of the day, according to a study in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition. They’re also less likely to reach for high-fat and high-carb foods; plus they sleep better at night (you’re more likely to lean on junk food when you’re sleep-deprived, studies show). If you do your best to eat a healthy breakfast, you’ve likely consumed a coop full of eggs and a bushel of oats over the past several months—and your recycling bin overfloweth with empty yogurt containers....

How many weeks, months, or years would you regain if you hadn’t burned up the time on stress, worrying about stress, and creating more stress? Humans are sometimes hardwired to amplify anguish or anxiety with needless mental reruns. It’s part of our out-of-time survival gear. This is why after the workday is done, it’s not. You’re still at work in your mind, replaying the tensions and pressures. We don’t know how to leave work at work....

There are fewer things that are as important but are as annoying as shopping for a new mattress.

Jason Kokrak has played on the PGA Tour, on and off, since 2012. But until around a year ago, even a serious golf fan could be forgiven for not knowing who he was. Kokrak spent most of his career well outside the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking––good enough to be one of the best players in the world, certainly, but a long way from the sport’s top tier....

Our day-to-day lives are dominated by the gadgets we own. Cellphones and laptops and tablets and all that fun stuff. A far cry from our parents’ heyday. But it’s the reality we got and the one we gotta deal with. And sometimes these gadgets run dangerously low on power when we least need it. But that isn’t a problem when you pick up the Sherpa 100AC Power Bank. What makes the Sherpa 100AC Power Bank so good when there are other items like it out there?...

After all this time working from home, some of us have been itching to get back to the office. If you feel like you wanna make that daily commute again, you should head on over to Montblanc so you can pick up this Meisterstück Document Case to give you quite the aesthetic boost on those rides into work. We’ve written about Montblanc before and we will continue to do so. That’s because, for high-end items like the Meisterstück Document Case or the other office-based items they have in their store, you really will have a hard time beating the level of craft on display with each item....

My sweet preschooler will be starting Kindergarten next week. Although I feel like we’ve prepared as well as we could for this day to come, we have seriously slacked this Summer in the educational department. Since he is having a Kindergarten readiness test on Friday, I developed a Pre-K Crash Course Review for him to work on this week to refresh his mind with all the things he has learned in preparation for starting Kindergarten....
