Craftsy Unlimited Giveaway

Craftsy Unlimited Giveaway

Craftsy has been one of my favorite websites for awhile now because being Empty Nesters means we have a little more downtime now days. I focused on learned a few things while Liz was at home but for the most part I put my hobbies on the back burner so she could have things. Which really is what parenting is all about, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But because we have more down time I’ve started redoing rooms in the house, picking up new hobbies and restarting some older ones. But today we are going to talk about Craftsy Unlimited because they have upped their crafting game just in time for March which is also known for National Craft Month. Now we are celebrating with a giveaway for a subscription to Craftsy Unlimited on the Rafflecopter below! Good luck!

Get your kids outdoors and on a GoTrax Cadet Electric Scooter



What are your kids doing this Spring and Summer?  With warmer weather upon us, it's time to get outdoors and have fun!  I highly recommend the GOTRAX Cadet Electric  Scooter! It comes in a variety of colors. We chose this cool Alien Green color. It also comes in Mars Red, Neptune Blue, Planetary Purple and Pulsar Pink.  

The Cadet came almost fully assembled, so putting the rest together took less than 15 minutes and was very easy to put together.  Connect the charger and let it charge.  I actually put it together and let it charge overnight, so we would be ready to ride the next day. 

Making sure your scooter is fully charged, you gently kick off and engage the throttle on the right handlebar to get it going.  The 100W motor goes 11mph and you can ride for about 7 miles before you need to recharge.  The scooter has a mechanical hand brake just like a bicycle. This is the perfect scooter for kids with a weight capacity of up to 120 pounds.

I took the scooter to our downtown park, where we had plenty of room and plenty of even sidewalk to ride.  The kids had an amazing time riding the scooter.  I had others kids and their parents asking me about the GOTRAX Cadet  electric scooter,  Everyone wanted to know where they could get one.  Of course, I showed them the scooter on the  GOTRAX website

The scooter has proven to be so much fun for my kids!  No more playing video games or watching TV,  they are eager to get outdoors and ride the scooter. Right now you can purchase the scooter on the GOTRAX website for $149.  This is a great price for a high quality electric scooter.  If you look at the bottom left of this page, you can sign up to get an additional $40 off your GOTRAX Cadet Electric Scooter. bringing the price to $109.

This scooter has brought so much joy and fun for my kids.  Getting them outdoors is not a chore anymore.  They make sure the scooter is charged at night so they can ride the next day.  This is a product I highly recommend.  

Make sure to follow GOTRAX on their social media to see all the wonderful products they have to offer.


Stay tuned for a giveaway going live on April 1, 2018.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Get your kids to eat more veggies? Yes, with a school grant from Action for Healthy Kids!


Parents can be a formidable force for change in schools, especially when it comes to starting health and wellness programs. Ensuring that our kids are eating healthier foods, learning about nutrition, and being more physically active in school not only sets them up to learn lifelong healthy habits but, according to a growing body of research, it helps them be better prepared to focus and learn in class. Studies also show when parents are involved in a child’s education, their children demonstrate higher academic achievement, better attendance, better social skills, better-eating habits, increased physical activity and less emotional distress.

Yet, despite wanting to do what’s best for students’ health, many schools lack the necessary resources to implement health and wellness practices that help students eat better and stay physically active. That’s why Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) has announced a new Parents for Healthy Kids grant just for parents for the 2018-2019 school year. The grants, which are provided through funding from ALDI, are designed for parents, caregivers and parent-groups (e.g. PTAs, PTOs) to lead school-based physical activity and nutrition initiatives and to engage more parents and family members in student and family health.
 
If you’ve ever thought of starting a school garden, getting kids to eat more fruits and veggies at school lunch, or finding ways to ensure they get more physical activity in and get the wiggles out during the school day so they can better focus in class, then this grant opportunity is for you. If you can think of a way to improve school and student health, AFHK can help you do it. In addition to providing schools with needed funding (grants up to $1,000), AFHK provides grantees with technical support and resources to activate their grants successfully.

Parents can learn more and apply for a grant by April 13, 2018 by visiting ParentsforHealthyKids.org/Grants. While you’re there, check out the resources to help you get involved in school health, and sign up to receive news your family can use to create a healthier school and home, today!

How to save money on prescriptions


This is a sponsored post.

The cost of prescriptions has skyrocketed, as I am sure you know. I am going to tell you some ways to save money on prescriptions.  Just as with any other product you want on the market, you have to shop around to get the best deal.  And, when it comes to getting the lowest price on the medicines you need, it is crucial.   A month's supply of some medicine can be several hundred dollars. And given that most of us take more than one kind of medicine,this can become quite costly.

Call the pharmacies in your area and tell them you need a price on a particular medicine,   The price at CVS pharmacy may be less than your local pharmacy.  We all assume that because it is generic, that the price is the same across the board.

There are many different generic brands for most drugs that require a prescription.  I know there are four pharmacies right here in my small hometown.  I had a prescription I needed to get filled,  I called all four pharmacies.   There was a difference of  $12 between the lowest price and the highest price they had given me.  Of course, I went with the lowest price. That prescription was for an antibiotic.

No matter what your prescription is for,  you have to find the least expensive place to purchase.  Different pharmacies have different programs that they participate in to bring discounts to their customers  Be sure to ask the pharmacy if there are any discounts you can get, so you have the rock bottom lowest price on your prescriptions.

If you have more than one prescription, it may be less expensive to get Prescription A from RiteAid and Prescription B from your local pharmacy.One thing about the medicines that are prescribed for us, prices are different at each pharmacy,  It is imperative that you shop around.

I know a lot of people use mail order pharmacies.  This is something I have not personally used.  But,my mother gets the prescription for the medicine she takes for her thyroid from a  mail order pharmacy.

Diabetics take different kinds of medicines.  Do you have a prescription for Januvia?  You should check out this januvia coupon 2018 and see how much money you can save.

No matter what prescription you have you should always shop around and get the best deal on your prescriptions.  We buy a gallon of milk from the least expensive store!  You should do the same for your prescriptions.

How to create a fabulous dining room


This is a sponsored post.

The Dining Room: A place where you come and sit around a table and eat a home cooked (most of the time) dinner with the ones you love. It’s a place of comfort, love, and joy and because of that, it is one of the most important places in the home. Sure, there is your bedroom where you rest and recharge, but do you really have as many memories in your bedroom compared to your dining room? Probably not. Same thing with an office, or a bathroom, as well. Your kitchen does come close to being up there on the list, though, especially if you have a table in your kitchen, as well. But, we are focusing on your dining room. Your dining room deserves to look fabulous and that is what we are discussing today. Here are a few ways I think you can turn your dining room into a fabulous room that stands out:

Custom Table
There are so many affordable custom tables now. It seems like everyone is trying out their skill in wood making and there are many Facebook pages where people are crafting custom farmhouse tables and selling them. This is a fantastic way to get a sturdy table, at a lower cost. Of course, there are other options. Many big stores will have the option to customize your table that you purchase, but of course, they will be more expensive. When you are purchasing a table, make sure you consider how many people will be sitting at the table, how much space you have in your room, and also what colors are in your room. Do keep in mind that you can paint your room, if needed.





Comfortable Chairs
Comfortable chairs are a must. With the recent trend of farmhouse tables, benches also made it in the ‘must have list’ and they could be a good addition if you have a lot of people dining with you. Another reason I love benches is the fact that they save room. You can just slip it under the table when it is not in use and it is out of the way. When purchasing chairs, make sure to consider how large your table is and who is going to be sitting in your chairs. Although you do not want ugly chairs, I highly recommend making them comfortable. Your dining room table is a place that you are supposed to enjoy and make memories in. If you are too busy moving around because your chair is uncomfortable, it will be harder to focus on the good times that are right in front of you.

Flooring
Upgrading your flooring is definitely not necessarily, however, I do recommend having flooring that is easy to clean. Your dining room is destined to have spills and messes, especially if there are children around, so make sure your flooring will not stain. Also, I highly recommend getting a fashionable rug to your dining room. It just makes the space a bit more luxurious and welcoming. There are many websites that sell rugs, so you do not even need to go in store! Some that I recommend are Target and Overstock!

Decor
Your dining room does not need much, but adding a few decor pieces will definitely spruce it up enough to make it fashionable and fabulous. Add some candles along the center of your tables, a bar cart, and maybe a few seasonal decor pieces and you are good to go! In the spring, I love white vases with fresh (or fake) flowers and you can even reuse the white vase for other seasons, as well. For example, in the fall, you can add fall foliage to it and maybe some apples. In the winter, add eucalyptus and red berries. In the summer, you could do flowers, or have bright citrus decor added in.

 

Artwork
The artwork in your dining room will be the star of the show and you want to make sure it is special. If there is anything to invest in, it is your artwork because it can potentially make you money in the long run. In addition to making you money, it can turn a plain dining room into the most fabulous dining room you have ever seen!

When you invest in artwork, you want to make sure to protect them, as well. Your first area of concern is fading. You do not want your artwork to fade, so make sure to invest in window films to protect your furniture and artwork. If you have not heard of them before, window films are a cost-effective UV protection. According to UHS Window Tinting and Blinds, “Radiation from the sun is divided into three components: light that we can see, and infrared and UV rays that we can only feel. As the sun strikes glass, the window film acts as a shield that blocks harmful UV rays, as well as regulates the amount of heat that passes through the glass. In turn, the interior of your office or home will have a more comfortable temperature, even without increasing the cooling or air conditioning capacity in the room. By simply having a window film on your glass doors and windows, you can be protected from the sun and reduce your energy costs at the same time.” Improve the comfort of your home, save energy, and also improve the look of your home by installing 3M™ Window Films with the help of UHS Window Tinting and Blinds, located in the Metro Atlanta area.
