Home Schooling A Toddler with ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy

This post was originally published on 6/16/2013.

Education is so important to me. I believe that in order to help our children be self-sufficient, they need a solid foundation which in my opinion is education. I have been home schooling SweetPea for a few months now. I looked into a two year old preschool for her, but with money being tight, I didn't feel that was a viable option. I was recently asked to try an Early Learning Academy app with my daughter. I feel it is more budget friendly option for the parent who wants to help further their child's education.

I have seen their commercials on PBS and Disney Junior, so I was always curious, but for some reason I never looked in it. ABCmouse.com is perfect for when the kids are out of school this summer to keep their minds at work while having fun, it's perfect for the child that needs a little help, it's a great tool for home schooling moms, and it's perfect for us because they have lessons specifically designed for toddlers.

"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" Comes to Netflix

I am a member of the Netflix #StreamTeam. This post is in partnership with them. All opinions are my own.


We love a good princess, and there’s nothing wrong with a happy ending. But the reality is kids today are gravitating toward grown-up stories. They may not be made with kids in mind (read: The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and That 70’s Show), but they’re watching. That’s why Netflix is reinventing family TV with shows like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, available to stream now. The show serves up dark comedy that your big kids are probably ready for, whether you realize it or not.


As a member of the Netflix StreamTeam, I had the miserable opportunity to preview a screener of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Life for the Bauledaire children is very salty indeed because of Count Olaf, but I have whipped up an easy recipe that can bring a little sweet in to the mix without any misery.

Here's what you need to make "Count Olaf's Salty Sweet Cracker Treats":

Unboxing January's Degustabox

It isn't any surprise how much I love subscription boxes. I have been reviewing this awesome foodie subscription box for a few months now. It has introduced me to so many new products I had never heard of, as well as try products that I had been wanting to.


I love Degustabox. I think it is well worth the money. Basically for only $19.99 ($9.99 with code + free gifts if you keep scrolling), you get a box FILLED with goodies. You can try so many different flavors and many of these products are new to the market. So definitely a great way to try before you buy!

So what was in my box?
