Kids Learning Academy: Preschool and Kindergarten Learning App

Disclosure: I was selected to review this app and although I was compensated for this, my opinions are expressively my own.

You are never too young to start preparing for school. 
As a mom of a school age child who has many friends with little ones almost ready to start kindergarten, I know the importance if teaching your child important skills before they officially start school.

With the Kids Academy Preschool and Kindergarten Learning App, kids can have fun learning how to trace their letters, number recognition, and even begin to prepare to read all while having fun.  I love how the app is easy to use and will keep your pre-schooler entertained for hours all while introducing them to the joy of learning.

You can download the app in the Apple I-Tunes store:

NEW! Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets

Disclosure: "The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own."

I have always loved it when you first take clothes out of the dryer and not only do they feel warm and cozy but I also like the smell of my laundry. If you are looking for a product that delivers all day freshness once your clothes come out of the dryer then you are in luck! NEW Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets leave your laundry smelling fresh and feeling soft yet also reduces static cling like you would expect in a normal dryer sheet.

What I didn't expect after the first time I used this product was the fact that the fresh scent not only was on the clothes but also released fragrance throughout the entire house! Since we have three cats living in the household, I decided to tuck a sheet of Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets near the room to their litter box. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the release of the fragrance from the dryer sheet filled the room with such a delightful scent. I had a friend over at the time for tea and she commented on how nice the scent was and wanted to know which brand of air freshener I used. When I told her it was NEW Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets, my friend was really excited as she wanted to know where she could purchase the product to use in her home.

So besides laundry, you can find other uses for NEW Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets  which will make your home smelling nice and give you peace of mind that you don't have to worry about those unexpected unpleasant odors.

You can find  NEW Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets at Walmart and other fine retailers.

NEW! Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent

Disclosure: "The Purex" brand provided me with a sample of Purex No Sort for Colors detergent in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own."

I enjoy doing laundry but the one thing I don't like is having to worry about certain colors fading or bleeding because I accidentally forgot to sort my clothing before putting them in the wash.

Introducing, NEW "Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent" which is the latest in laundry innovation from the Purex brand designed to simplify your laundry routine. 

You probably are wondering how this new product can help simplify your laundry. Well, the explanation is quite simple. "Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent" features a breakthrough Anti-Color-Transfer Technology which traps loose dyes in the wash and reduces color bleeding accidents in your mixed color leaving your clothes bright and clean.

I had to try this out for myself as I decided to place my favorite pair of jeans along with a teal blue bath towel in my washing machine. I then added "Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent" and let the washing machine do its magic on my clothes.

The end result was no bleeding color either from my pair of jeans nor from my teal blue bath towel. This laundry breakthrough is awesome as I often am in such a rush to do a load of laundry and don't always have the luxury of spare time to have to go through every piece of colored clothing to make sure it is separated from another. 

Helpful Hint: Please follow this word of advice, wash strongly colored fabrics or new pieces of clothing, especially jeans, separately at least 5 times before doing a mixed color load with "Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent."

Welcome Spring with NEW Starbucks Spring Blend!

Disclosure: I received the product mentioned above for free for the purpose of this review as I am a member of the "Modern Mom Insiders Program."  I was not financially compensated for this post.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  

Springtime means different things to different people. Perhaps it is the warmer weather that gets a person excited about spending quality time outdoors riding a bicycle or playing baseball at a local park.

What gets me excited about Spring, is discovering new things. With that being said, I just tried a new coffee perfect for the season, introducing, "Starbucks Spring Blend."

This coffee is crafted with exquisite beans from Latin America and East Africa, to reveal spirited, juicy notes and medium body, Starbucks Spring Blend is available at major grocery stores. It's balance of milk chocolate and sweet orange notes pairs beautifully with everything this season has in store for you.

When I first tried Starbucks Spring Blend coffee, I was really excited to pair it with the perfect treat, an Artisan style dessert bread in chocolate cranberry flavor. 

Pairing Starbucks Spring Blend coffee with a homemade dessert bread turned out to be the ultimate decadent treat that both myself and guests raved about. The best part about the coffee is that it is perfect for anytime whether it is an informal gathering or a major event. One thing for sure is once you had a chance to experience Starbucks Spring Blend coffee, it most certainly won't be the last time you have it since it really has a nice flavor.

With spring time also comes "Teacher Appreciation Week." I know that my son's teacher loves to drink coffee as we got her a Starbuck's gift card as a gift this past holiday season and I know that soon it will be teacher appreciation week so I thought of a perfect idea to present Mrs. B. with a beautiful Starbuck's spring mug along with a bag of Starbucks Spring Blend coffee. It will surely show the teacher how much she is appreciated!

However way you want to celebrate springtime this year, make every moment count with the simple pleasures in life by enjoying a delicious cup of "Starbucks Spring Blend coffee!
