Supporting #HopeForOurDaughters
Though I watched the new movie Suffragettes a few weeks back, it has really stuck with me. It has made me really think about and appreciate what our ancestors did to make the right to vote for women a reality. Many women fought and lost their lives, many were jailed and suffered so that women today could have the basic right to vote. It seems hard to believe that in some countries women are still fighting this battle. As part of the Suffragette’s movement, we have some interesting facts about firsts for women in armed forces, as well a special video this week called #HopeForOurDaughters that looks at injustices we must still overcome.

I’ve mentioned that I grew up with pets my whole life. There were always a few cats and dogs, with a couple goldfish around the house and one year we had around 15 animals in our home. Yikes right?! Our Standard Poodle, Heidi, had some puppies so our house was pretty hectic. But I wouldn’t change any of that chaos as to this day I adore my furry family and really do look at them as part of our family. But just like raising good kids, we need to make sure we take the time to teach our pets, especially dogs, to be a good family member. I have studied dog trainer…

The PicCollage App and HP Help Create Memories
Last year I heard from a friend who is pretty tech savvy about this really cool app that lets you create fun collages from your photographs. I was looking for an easy way to create cards and quotes from photographs I had taken. The PicCollage app is really easy to use and this is coming from someone not particularly that tech savvy! I made this one from a day at the beach. There are over 100 million people who use PicCollage to combine photos, Youtube videos, funky fonts, sassy stickers and cute cutouts to create the prettiest collages you’ll ever see on a mobile device. They have stickers from Sanrio and LA-based independent designer, Sara…

This helps our youth grasp the impact we have on our environment and,…
