Jogging: Blogging From A to Z
I have a confession. I'm one of those people that dreams about getting up early, going for a jog, getting a hot shower, and then starting my day. The reality is though that I'm too lazy. I always seem to have way too many things on my mind that keep me from doing that. I'm trying to change that though.I'm trying to quit working earlier in the day, so that I'm more relaxed when I go to bed, and get to sleep quicker. I'm trying to get up just an hour earlier, so I can get that jog or some type of exercise in. I know that when I do these things, I feel much better. I'm happier and have much more energy. I just like sleep too much. I'm trying to hold myself more accountable, but figuring out a way of doing that is not so easy. Well, that's the plan for this summer. The two main things- drink more water, and get up early to exercise.
An Amazing Way To Charge On The Go
Disclaimer: I received a product to review. All opinions are my own.
I have stumbled across one of the most amazing products ever! I use this solar charger all the time. Believe me, you'll want one after you learn more about it. This is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to be connected to a wall plug all the time. Whether you are heading out for a road trip, hunting, camping, hiking, spending time at the beach or just hanging around outside, this is the product for you! I often find myself out and about, or on an expedition with a low battery from taking entirely too many photos or listening to music all day. This is my solution.
I have successfully been able to charge all of my equipment that charges via USB with it. This includes, DragonTouch tablet, LG Optimus L90, digital voice recorder, power banks, cameras, GoPro, flashlights, and even my headphones.
The cool thing about this solar charger is that it is not a power bank- you are getting a direct charge from the panel- fully charging your device. It is 8" by 11" and only weighs 7 ounces. It only works in full sun and uses a 5v current. The grommets allow you to attach it to anything. Imagine hangint it on your backpack and charging your camera while you trek up the mountain!
Available in green, blue, and camo. They offer a 60-day, no questions asked money back guarantee. Get you one from Amazon today. ($40)
Insecurities: Blogging From A to Z
Everyone on this planet has insecurities. Depending on our place on life, our insecurities change. As teenagers, we are insecure about our looks, families, and everything else that our peers may comment on. As a college student, we are insecure about our grades, our status on campus, and so much more. In our twenties, our insecurities change again. Eventually, we become a spouse and a parent. This brings even more insecurities, probably the most important ones we will ever have.We become insecure about our relationship with those we love, about making sure the relationship we have with our husbands is strong, and insecure about our past and making sure it doesn't affect us negatively. The way we raise our children causes even more. Are we feeding the right things, are we letting them watch too much television, are they getting enough physical activity?
The thing is that these insecurities are what make us good parents. If we didn't worry about any of it, then that would make us different people. What would you think about someone who didn't worry about their children?
The thing about insecurities is that we all have them, but we cannot let them control us. That is what makes the difference.
ReelCase: A Phone Solution For Moms Everywhere
Disclaimer: I am helping out with this campaign. All opinions are my own.
I have written before about my love of Kickstarter and the importance of Crowdfunding in today's world. I love finding unique Kickstarter projects that just call to me. One of these projects is ReelCase- a product everyone can benefit from.
I have a major problem when it comes to my phone. It takes amazing pictures and I love having my phone with me to snap pictures of the kids. Besides calls, texts, and photos of the kids, my phone has many uses. I use it to take photos on investigations and expeditions, I use it to work, manage social media, and so much more. I actually have several apps I use during paranormal investigations that require me to keep it close. The problem comes in that I drop it quite often. I try to balance my phone and everything else, something loses and lands on the floor. Other time, I don't need it in my hand, but need it handy. Well, the belt holster is really a pain to use. I have ended up dropping it, just trying to get my phone out of the holster.
I have often wished that my phone had a lanyard. Back before I had a smartphone, my phone had a way of attaching a lanyard, so I always had it near. I have wondered why smartphones didn't have that. Well, when the creators of the ReelCase contacted me, I was instantly drawn in.

How cool is that- you put the ReelCase on your iPhone, and have this handy dandy lanyard that can be locked at any length you want. Perfect for any time in life. When you don't need a lanyard, just let it wind itself up into the case and you're good to go.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could have the lanyard mechanism for any device? I would love that! Well, I happen to know that that is in the future plans for ReelCase.
Are yo interested in having a ReelCase of your own? Would you like to help back this project? ReelCase is now open for backers and the packages range from $5 to $3500. Check them out on Kickstarter. Check out their website for more information on ReelCase.
Homeschool: Blogging From A to Z
There are many difficult things I have done in my life. There are times that I never thought anything would be more difficult. I have found my match. Homeschooling is the most difficult, yet most rewarding thing I have ever done. There is nothing in this world like seeing your child's eyes light up when they realize how something works or when he puts 2 and 2 together for the first time and understands why it equals 4.My Tbomb is a very special little boy, so homeschooling is a huge challenge, but knowing that he isn't being forgotten about in school is amazing. He could say and recognize all of his letters before he was 2. At 3 1/2 he could write all of his letters. He can now sign his name without being reminded how to spell it. He knows the planets, understand greater than/ less than, matches counting cards, and rhyming cards. This is the smartest kid I have ever encountered. The thing about it is that the school board doesn't even think he is old enough to start school.
Homeschooling is my greatest privilege and the thing that I worry about the most.
