Compressions Velcro Neoprene Knee Brace

January 5, 2015 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I have never had the need to wear a knee brace but my hubby has been wearing one since high school. I had him in mind when I signed up to review this neoprene knee brace. He is both my model and guinea pig for trying out this product.

Here’s what my hubby had to say about this Compressions knee brace:
– Shorter and tighter fit then old one.
– Stays in place well.
– Stitching seems very durable and high quality.
– Doesn’t pinch the skin on back of leg.
I would say with all of the above features that this is definitely the brace to buy. I was especially impressed that my hubby said it did not pinch. I did not realize that some brand do pinch but very glad that this new one does not pinch!

Introducing the ABC’s of American History Series

January 4, 2015 By Thaleia 15 Comments

Since this year’s Classical Conversation Cycle 3 revolves around American History and many homeschool families study it, I wanted to help supply resources for American History. I did not love History growing up but thought that going through the alphabet would be fun. In this 26 part series each guest blogger will sign-up for a different letter about American History.

We will be kicking off the ABC’s of American History on Tuesday January 6, 2015. Be sure to come back each week to see what new topic post has been added as we learn about American History all through the alphabet.

My Love Hate Relationship with New Year’s Goals

January 3, 2015 By Thaleia 6 Comments

Okay, I am the first to admit that I am a planner. I used to love to set goals but times have changed and I have become more cynical of goals. Now I firmly believe goals truly are a good thing but sometimes the pressure placed on oneself to attain the goals can be unbearable. I have determined at times to create goals and then life happens my goals are thrown out the window.

I will share with you an example and the irony that I am even writing this post let alone joining in with a handful of other sweet ambitious bloggers to co-host a monthly goal linky! Yes, you read that right, I am hosting a goal making linky! It was recently mentioned a few weeks ago in a blogger Facebook group that I am apart of and I will share my deepest darkest words. Right here on the internet for all to see. I am vowing to be ME this year. I want to be more transparent, less reserved, and possibly a little more in your face then you have known me to be. Just realize as I get older, just a few years from 40, that I want to make my time on earth count. No more stepping lightly. NO more hiding behind the blogging curtain. Watch out reader’s the REAL Thaleia is in the house!

I cannot believe we are done with another year already. It seems like the year just started and here we are in 2015! I have written quite a few posts over a variety of subjects in 2014 including tot trays, busy bags, stay-cation, 100 budget friendly Summer activities, herbal posts, parenting, and of course the 4 part series about learning our son had Diabetes. I have offered a variety of giveaways and done lots of reviews recently all in the name of trying to find my blogging voice.

Fun Ways to use the #Cube for Homeschooling

January 1, 2015 By Thaleia 4 Comments

I have to be honest I am having a little trouble coming up with daily uses for the #Cube WiFi Photoviewer in general but want to use it for homeschooling. I want to share some fun ways to use the #Cube in a safe manner.

First be sure that you know who you are following on Instagram as Your Feed is one of the viewing options. Secondly think of some “safe” terms to search via the hashtag mode. You could come up with historical places or curriculum titles or maybe a famous artist or composer. Be sure to double check the feed BEFORE sharing it with your family. Just like any social media you never know what might pop onto your screen.
