The Samsung SUHD TV Offers an Impressive Viewing Experience
We have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Last weekend I had a chance to check out the new Samsung SUHD TV at our local Best Buy and what an experience! Now through 6/13, you can see an exclusive sneak peek of Jurassic World in Samsung Entertainment Experience Shops inside Best Buy. I loved seeing Chris Pratt up on the Samsung TV and I can’t wait to see that on the big screen this month! It is so cool how the Samsung SUHD provides us with a whole viewing experience – from 4 HDMI inputs…

Bonding Over Old-School Classics
Image found on awn My younger brother and I couldn’t wait for Saturday cartoons and our morning would usually start around 6:30 am, him in his Superhero Underoo’s (remember those?), our cereal bowls filled with Fruity Pebbles or Lucky Charms (our favorites) and we would watch cartoons until about noon. It is great sharing these old school cartoons and movies with my daughter. I think part of the appeal for parents to share toys, TV shows and movies they grew up with is to show our kids that we were kids once too! And I think it lets us go down memory lane to a time of childhood wonder. There’s something pretty awesome…

Father’s Day Gift Ideas
It’s almost time for dad’s to get their day of recognition (June 21st) this year. On that note, I decided to put some things together from free to high for the man/men in your life. *Note: a couple freebies are below for child(ren) to make with your assistance for their dad/grandpa* I’d also like to take a moment and say: this year will be eight years of not having my dad here to splurge on, make fun of, laugh with, and really just see him and get that huge bear-hug which engulfed me and made me feel three all over again. I was/am/always will be a daddy’s girl. I miss looking into my…

Parenting :: Is it Ever Okay to Lie?
In our family we call my daughter’s little white lies “Kate’s Tall Tales” a take on Mater’s Tall Tales! Sometimes I have to admit that I think her stories are a little funny and figure she is using her imagination. But then there are other times when her “tales” could do some harm to others in that I might have to talk to another parent about it. In these situations I will sit down with her about whether this is a “tall tale” or did it really happen. You know, the stories that kids come up with! So I am wondering on our journey as parents how do we go about explaining the…

RFP Testing Provides a Safer Sporting Environment for Athletes
“The King-Devick Test is beneficial to me because it’s a sideline objective test. It’s easy to use and allows me to have another sound backing in my assessments of a head injury. Since I have been involved with the K-D Test, I have had nothing but positive outcomes. The athletes seemed to have taken well to it, and it’s not overwhelming to implement within an already established head injury protocol. All-in-all the King-Devick Test has proven its worth by its ease of use, validity, and time-efficient objectivity.” ~ Rickey Perales, ATC, Head Athletic Trainer at St. Laurence High School As a parent I had my reservations about my daughter playing…

Race Car Driver Greg Tracy Pushes Life to the Limit!
It is always fun to see what friends from high school end up doing with their lives! Some have gone on to do things that are pretty extraordinary and my friend Greg Tracy is one of them! It isn’t everyday that someone breaks a World Record or wins one of the most difficult car races in the world. He has won the Pike’s Peak race 7 times which once you see the actual race track you’ll be pretty amazed. I had a hard time watching one of his YouTube clips showing his view while racing around the cliffs. And he and another driver raced the “Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare” that took…
