    “Disneyland Adventures” and “RUSH” provide hours of fun for Xbox One Players!

    November 27, 2017 /

            This month I was invited to a XBox event hosted by Microsoft at Disneyland.  You all know how much I love anything to do with Disney and I was really excited to learn more about their latest game Disneyland Adventures and RUSH: A Disney Pixar Adventure.   After listening to Jorg Neumann, Head of Production at Microsoft Studios and John Dongelmans, Marketing Director of 1st Party Games (see our Facebook Live interview here) and getting a demo of the games, I was just blown away with the imagery and vivid colors.  Games have come a long way since my days of playing Pong.  Yes, I grew…

    Slow Cooker Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

    November 26, 2017 /

      Tis the season for soup!  Though I love to eat soup all year long (our local Pho place knows my daughter and I by name) and we are big fans of Ramen, Vietnamese soup, vegetable soup… heck, I don’t think I’ve come across a soup I didn’t like.  We wanted to try a new soup and came across a yummy recipe for Mexican Tortilla Soup.  We tweaked it a bit and I have to say it is one of my favorite soups we’ve made so far!  Super easy if you are short on time.  Just put everything in the slow cooker on high for three hours and you will…

    9 Holiday Porch Ideas You’ll Want to Copy!

    November 25, 2017 /

    This year I started decorating the house really early for the holidays.  I could’t resist all the cuteness I was seeing at our local Marshall’s and picked up some items for the house.  It was time to switch up the holiday knick knacks as some are long past being called cute or even useful.  You know how it is, lights that don’t work anymore but didn’t make it in the trash last year, or broken bulbs, or holiday plush that I didn’t care for anymore.  The house looks cute (I’ll do a home tour soon) but that doesn’t leave much in my budget for the front porch. I went in search…

    Amazing Mom Writes ‘Amazing Scientists’ to Empower Girls

    November 21, 2017 /

    Julia Finley Mosca is a mom to a young daughter. She was frustrated with the lack of books showing girls and women in heroic roles. “It’s discouraging to think that with all the strides we’ve made in society, female protagonists (both fictional and non-fictional) are still severely underrepresented, especially non-white female characters.” Women are still the minority in STEM fields, which is one of the main reasons The Innovation Press and Julia wanted to do the Amazing Scientists series. Tell us about Amazing Scientists. I’m so excited about these books! The Amazing Scientists series is a fun and educational collection of biographies for kids. Each book details the life of…

    How to Build Your Own Website in less than 90 Minutes!

    November 17, 2017 /

      Thank you GoDaddy for sponsoring this post. Get started on building your own website with GoCentral today! A few weeks ago my daughter was talking to my husband and I about wanting to start a t-shirt company.  She wants to offer cool clothes for girls who like to skate – think ROXY for skateboarders. She wants to start off with t-shirts, hoodies, and even wants to get into selling skateboards.  She absolutely loves skateboarding and would love to see girls to take over the skate parks.  Her words.  She is all about the side-hustle and we try to encourage her to branch out and learn about the ins and outs…
