*I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of Frito-Lay and Skylanders® and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. As the summer comes to a close in a few weeks here in New York City, I am reminded of all the fun activities that I have engaged in with my husband and sons during this time. We have fully taken advantage of the sunny and mild weather that we have had this season to spend quality time as a family and to enjoy being together outdoors. One of our favorite activities has been going on a family picnic at a local park and nature preserve. It almost felt like everything was perfect that day, from the weather to the smiles that all of us had on our faces. Up until six months ago, my husband was working nights until he got laid off. Although getting laid off imposed some financial hardships on our family, we have adjusted and grown to relish in this newfound … [Read more...]
Our Fun Family Picnic At The Park! #GoodFunForAll @FritoLay @SkylandersGame #Ad
Enjoy Some Summer Fun With The Family! #GoodFunForAll @FritoLay @SkylandersGame #Ad
*I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of Frito-Lay and Skylanders® and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. One of our favorite things to do during the Summer is to head out to our local park and have picnics together as a family. We live near the largest park in New York City and, since it also doubles as a nature preserve, it boasts some beautiful grounds that are perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. Not only is this a great opportunity to spend time together, but it is also very affordable since we only have to take some snacks and drinks with us to enjoy while we are out. As many of you know, our family enjoys planning activities together like the Frito-Lay and Skylanders® home gaming party that we hosted last month. Not only did we have a lot of fun as a family and enjoyed some great snacks, but we also voted for our favorite next … [Read more...]

Vote For The Next #SkylandersGame Character! @FritoLay @PepsiCo @SkylandersGame #Ad
*I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of Frito-Lay and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Being a mom and a teacher, I have a pretty good idea about what kids like and don't like. Over the years, I've learned that they enjoy being involved when decisions are made and that they do have their own opinions about a variety of subjects. When it comes to my boys, they are extremely outspoken and have no qualms about sharing their opinions with others. Frito-Lay and Activision recently gave families the chance to choose and name a new Skylanders character which will appear in the upcoming video game, Skylanders Trap Team™. I'm sure I don't have to tell you all that thousands of entries were submitted by fans just like my boys who love Skylanders and definitely have lots of ideas that they are eager to share. Three final Skylanders character names have been chosen … [Read more...]
