We just moved to a new state and school has just started for the kids, a week earlier than their old school.
They were a little nervous but happy.
My 5th grader was a tad bit shy since she was with older kids, so no single pictures of her.
My 2nd and 4th graders were super excited.
Are you ready for back to school? I thought I couldn’t wait all the fighting this summer. Now I kind of miss them.
Hey everyone. We are moved and getting settled. Just having trouble getting internet set up. Thankfully we live close to a library. I will be back in full swing shortly.

I was able to attend a Shopkins Swap media preview today in NYC with lots of other Vloggers, Bloggers and media. The event was a preview leading up to tomorrows Big Swapkins event at Toys R Us locations in the U.S.
They had so many new items on display for the upcoming season. Like new Mega blocks sets!
a new game with exclusive Shopkins.
Card game with Exclusive telephone
Now on to the swapping each Toys R Us will have tables set up and coloring sheets and fun activities. Each attendee will receive a Shopkins poster with the entire collection of Shopkins printed on the back from Seasons 1, 2 and 3.
Swapping was so much fun and we got a few Shopkins we didn’t have already. but the main part was just helping others out and having fun.
My daughter had so much fun swapping with others.
At the event we were also introduced to a Exclusive NY Event Apple Blossom Shopkin. Kind of like a Limited Edition, since there are only 800 made.
Thank you so much Moose Toys for inviting us to this wonderful event.

We love Science in my house, my husband has a PHD in Molecular Biology and talks to my kids about everything having to do with science, and they love it.
My daughter was super excited to get ready for back to school with these fun Science Journals from Julie Huffman.
NErD Journal
Put all your scientific thoughts in this journal. Can’t think of what to write? The authors have put science facts and fun on every page to get you in the writing spirit.
Periodic Thoughts
Everyone loves to talk Science, and sometimes you just need little refresher or way to break the ice. These fun postcards are filled with Scientific facts, quotes and laws. Each card is designed using different letters from the Periodic Table of elements.
**My daughter absolutely love these books, she has started keeping track of all her experiments, and scientific ideas in the journal. She spent hours going through the Periodic Thoughts and reading everything. It’s been one of her favorites she reads over and over.
You can find The NErD Journal and Periodic Thoughts online or a book store.
Do you love Science? These books are perfect for anyone going back to school.

I can’t believe it’s time to get ready for school. It seems like the kids just got out, but what better way to send them back to school with Shopkins.
Shopkins is the hottest toy and the market right now, and they just unveiled a fun need line for bad to school including backpacks, lunch boxes, pencils, pens, erasers and so much more.
Since my kids are older they were only interested in certain items like the pencils, and erasers. They are so cute and will have everyone having so much fun in the classroom.
How cute are these? My daughters have already packed them away in their backpack for school in a few weeks. They don’t even want to use the erasers as they are afraid to ruin the cute designs.
Will you be heading back to school with Shopkins?
You can find these products at retailers nationwide and Creative Kids.

Lloyds has a new line of ribs to add to their product line. Flame seared baby back ribs are the perfect choice for Summer BBQs. Unlike Lloyds regular ribs, the flame seared are more juicy and a bit spicy.
The flame-seared dry rub pork ribs use the finest quality cuts of meat. Enjoy the slow-simmered taste and open-fire flavor alongside green beans, corn on the cob or macaroni and cheese.
** These ribs were a little bit spicy but were oh so good. Match them up with a nice salad, corn on the cob and you have the perfect summer meal. Lloyds ribs are fully cooked already, so just follow the directions to heat up on the grill.
Whats your favorite style of ribs? Did you cook any this summer?

Disney’s Descendants is the untold story of Disney classic characters who are eagerly preparing for the face off between their villainous offspring who must choose between following in their parents’ footsteps to help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness to save the kingdom.
My kids couldn’t wait to see this movie. They said it was definitely worth the wait. The movie is all about the children of Disney villains and fairytale characters. The villains including Mal (daughter of Maleficent), Jay (Son of Jafar), Carlos (son of Cruela De Ville), and Evie (daughter of the evil queen) as they are invited to join the sons and daughters of fairytale characters after their parents were banished to the Isle of the lost.
Their mission is to try and steal Fair Godmothers wand to rule, but they all seem to enjoy the benefits of being in Aurodon. They have a evil moment but ultimately decided they want to stay and be good.
My kids love this movie and the music. they can’t stop watching it.
Get activity sheets and party fun for your movie night with Disney’s Descendants.
You can find Disney Descendants at local retailers now.

So I haven’t cut my hair in 3 years or so. I hate hair in my face and I ca’t stand it touching my shoulders. Yes I am weird! LOL! It has been in a bun for so long, the only time it was down was when I was sleeping.
This is the longest my hair has ever been in my life.
It had so much damage and breakage, but I never had the time or money to get it cut.
I finally told myself I had to do it for myself. I was getting heavy and I was literally in tears brushing it at times.
So Tada! It’s going to take a while to get us to it.
This from Supercuts and no expensive salons, they did great work.
