Why Having A Geeky Kid Is Awesome

Not so long ago, parents would have been rocked by the realization that they have a geeky kid. Some parents still are. Geeks were seen as unfashionable, not great in social situations, terrible at sports and inept when it came to getting boyfriends or girlfriends. However, this is no longer the case because the term geek can pretty much relate to anything. Fantasy football, film and television, Star Wars, chemistry, the rise of Conor McGregor or even anime. In that sense, everyone is a geek because everyone has that little something they get excited about a little too much; that…

A New Arrival To Retro Gaming

Can you believe that people have been gaming since the seventies? In fact, even longer than that if we consider the time consoles have been in production. It seems like only yesterday, doesn’t it? Yet, games consoles have moved at such a fast rate that the originals have been shunted into the history books. You may watch your kids playing on the latest releases and wonder how things could change so much. But, even now nothing beats the beginning. The good news is, retro gaming is still big business. The consoles may not be in production anymore, but that doesn’t…

When your PC hard drive starts clicking…. | #FreshStartMyPC

I'm pretty hard on computers.  Just ask my IT guy.  Like many of my friends in the blogging/marketing/social media field, my working day revolves around my PC.  There are times when I have so much going on that I can't remember the last time I restarted my computer, and I'll even catch myself with about 50 tabs open before I know it. We've recycled so many computers in our married lifetime (almost 15 years OMG!) that I'm sure we can fill several bedrooms with all of the cases, monitors, hardware, cords, etc.  It's pretty sad.  I hate it, too, because…

Let the adventure begin with LEGOS on Netflix! | StreamTeam

LEGOS have officially exploded all over Netflix!! I knew LEGOs were popular and my kids love them, but I had no idea there were so many different shows and movies dedicated to these insanely popular building blocks!  And they're now on Netflix which is doubly awesome! I love that LEGOs are timeless.  Did you know that LEGO was founded in 1932?  They're almost 84 years old, and they're just as popular now as they were when they first came out!  They're some of the most popular toys in the world, and they pretty much never grow old!  Although we did…

Why you should have your own Samsung Galaxy Note5! | #SprintMom

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Sprint. I received product to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Dear Hubs, I've had so much fun with my new phone using Sprint Global Roaming (FREE unlimited data and text, for real!), that I just had to write and let you know why Samsung Galaxy Note5 should be your new phone of choice. For the past few years, we were so excited about our current phone (that we will call "X" for the sake of anonymity), that we not only…

Asurion Premier Support Partners with Major Wireless Carriers | #PremierSupport #IC

This post was sponsored by Asurion as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I absolutely love it when I  call a tech support line looking for expert advice on a product or service, and the person on the other end of the phone actually knows what he or she is talking about!  I just had one of the most knowledgeable, intelligent conversations that I've ever had in my life with Bruce at Asurion Premier Support.  Not only did I not have to wait in a queue for a technician, I didn't reach someone outsourced to another country.  He could understand…

LeapPad Platinum Tablet – Learning through Interactive Games | #LeapFrogMom

Gaming is a pretty big deal in our house.  Pretty much all of us engage in some for of gaming throughout the course of a typical week in our house - including The Minion. Just last week, our preschooler had an individual assessment at his school, and we were beyond surprised at what all he knows, and he's just now four years old.  So surprised, in fact, when I told our chiropractor (and good friend) about his assessment, she was blown away as well!  Her exact words were, "The baby??" When she said that, it made me realize that oftentimes, we…
