Great Deals During Home School Discount Days

August 12, 2015 By Thaleia 1 Comment

You may wonder how you can afford to take your family on an incredible end of Summer vacation or share with them a great historical experience without breaking the bank! I always look for discounts and deals for as many things for my children’s education as possible! I ask friends and family as well as search online for free days and discount days.

Back to School Supplies for those in Need

August 10, 2015 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Did you know that many students head off to school each Fall without the basic supplies that are needed for a successful school year? Many needed supplies like pencils, crayons, paper, pens, erasers, and glue can quickly add up for families with limited budgets. Thanks to many different programs across the world children are able to attend school with the needed back to school supplies.

This is our 2nd year to participate in the blogger #givingbackpacks program. We have been buying extra school supplies for local families for many years before that. I always keep an eye on the sales ads and buy the cheapest week of the Summer in order to stock up for my family. We also buy extras to give away each year.

I choose a high school student to fill a back pack for this year. I know of a family that has two in high school so it was very easy for me to gather some supplies that I remembered needing at that age. For some weird reason the local high school’s do not give back to school supply lists until the first week of school. I choose some 3 -ring binders, graph paper, filler paper, composition notebooks, mechanical pencils, lead refill, pens, highlighters, and some spiral notebooks to give them a good start. They were very excited to receive the back pack and extra bag of goodies!

As kids head back-to-school this fall, Wonderful Pistachios tube packs are the perfect snack options that are both nutritious and delicious
FIJI Water keeps the whole family hydrated on-the-go and comes in a variety of different sizing perfect for an occasion whether it’s during school, PTA meetings or for school sporting events.
Wonderful Almonds tube packs are the ideal size for kids and a perfect addition to any lunchbox.

Thanks to this year’s sponsors- Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Almonds, Fiji Water, and Aldi’s for providing bloggers with $25 each to shop for school supplies to fill their back packs. You can read more details on Real Advice Gal!

Does Wearing a Hat = Dandruff for YOUR Teen?

August 8, 2015 By Thaleia

My oldest son is 12 years old and wears a hat almost daily. While I do believe he looks handsome in one of his many Fedora’s it can cause dandruff! Being a tween or preteen is tough enough without having to deal with itchy and flaky hair caused by dandruff!

Maybe your son doesn’t wear a hat but plays sports like football or baseball which requires a helmet. Helmet hair can also result in an itchy head along with increased chance of dandruff.

If you are like me then you want to provide your child with the best chances at positive social interaction among peers and the community. You will want to share tips for proper grooming and social etiquette. Both of which will allow your son to have a higher chance of succeeding in his life endeavors. While you prepare your Back to School shopping list be sure to include Head & Shoulder’s with Old Spice.
