To get us excited for the release of The Addams Family animated film on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital, we received a fun package from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures/United Artists Releasing.

Note: This post is in partnership with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

Now while I guessed some "The Addams Family" themed items would be in our box, I really wasn't prepared. There was a sword in the box. A sword. Now granted it was a toy type sword, but as any parent of a boy knows, giving them anything pointy means it immediately becomes a weapon. *sigh*

Which I guess fits since we were able to use the sword and other items in the box for an "The Addams Family" activity.

So what was in our box?

• Funko Gomez Addams Figurine
• The toy sword/saber
• A bearskin (the tall fur hat)
• Sugar Cookie Kit (The Addams Family themed)
• Popuglove Fingerless Gloves
• The Addams Family Pugsley T-shirt
• A slingshot
• The Addams Family Blu-ray/DVD

Now your probably wondering what is the purpose for this assortment of item. Well in The Addams Family animated film, there a scene when Pugsley has to do a Sabre Mazurka Dance during his coming of age party. It's a fun scene so we decided to do our version of it.




And so my son did. He danced. He leaped. He slashed with his sword. All while I kept a safe distance.

After his performance, I rewarded him with a hat...and the slingshot. Let be honest, I can't allow my son to run around with a sword (even a toy one). So the sling seemed a safer choice.


That was until he found some rocks and wanted to see how far he could "sling" them. Hopefully he wont hurt the trees and bushes in our neighborhood!

I confess, for a while now family and friends have tried to get me on #TeamiPhone. So I've added an iPhone to my lifestyle and it been interesting. Yes, it took me a while to figure out some things, but once I did, I could see some cool ways to use an iPhone and other iOS products.

So I want to share how different tips and info about iPhone, iPads, etc can enhance families lifestyles.

To get started, I'm sharing a few different ways you can use Siri to get things done faster and more efficiently, while on the go and at home. For many, talking to Siri is a quick way to get things done. The more you use Siri, the better it knows what you need.

So how can you use Siri?

• Search Photos from your last vacation: Siri makes Searching in Photos simple. You can just ask for what you want. For example, “Hey Siri, Show my photos from palm springs!”

• Translate on-the-go Use Siri to translate English to 9 languages: Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic.

• Control Music Seamlessly: Whether you’re on a run with your AirPods, in the car with CarPlay or at home with HomePod, you can play and control music from Apple Music. And Siri can now play music through third party apps like Pandora and Spotify. For example, "Play Smooth Jazz on Pandora.” You can also say, “Turn it up”, “Play the next/previous song”, “Pause”, ”Resume”, “Shuffle songs”, ”Repeat.”

• Perform tasks on Apple Watch: New Siri features on Apple Watch include Shazam, and now, you can ask Siri to do a web search on your Apple Watch.

• Set the mood with Home control: Control your HomeKit accessories using Siri on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, CarPlay and/or HomePod. For example, you can ask Siri to set the “I’m Home” scene while you’re driving. When you arrive, your house will be bright and warm, waiting for you to settle in.

• Keep track of what’s important with Find My: Find your devices and friends using commands like, "Hey Siri, ping my AirPods” and “Hey Siri, where is Daren?”

• Take advantage of Live radio: Siri is your own personal DJ and can now play 100,000 stations globally. So you can just say, “Hey Siri, Play Z100.”

• Control your Apple TV: Control the TV using the Siri button. For example, “Find good movies to watch with kids.” You can also add shows to your Up Next while on the go using your iPhone and they will appear on your Apple TV home screen. Finally, if you didn’t catch a line of dialogue in a show, you can ask Siri, “What did she say?” And Siri will rewind and play the last thing said with subtitles.

These are just a few ways I've learned about, but there's many more ways to use Siri. Try it out and discover what works for you.

Did you know that February is "National Children’s Dental Health Month"? This would be a great time to teach (or remind) kids about proper oral care.

To encourage good oral care Dr. Plotka has youth manual toothbrushes, that help children learn good brushing habits.

Dr. Plotka's Youth Manual Toothbrushes are recommended for children ages 3-12, teens with braces or anyone who enjoys using a smaller brush. Made with soft, polyester bristles, they work to gently clean the gums and enamel of your little one.

With Dr. Plotka’s, you can brush very gently, which limits irritation, and still reach between the teeth and under the gum-line unlike any other brush.


A few key features that make this an extraordinary oral health tool:

• Naturally Antimicrobial* Bristles – Infused with silver to naturally eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that grows on the bristles within 6 hours! So, everytime you brush, those bristles are fresh, clean, and ready to work their magic.

• Flossing Bristles – Dual-layered bristle structure provides superior cleaning: the longer bristles, thin as a human hair, gently brush away food and plaque in places other brushes miss while the shorter, thicker bristles ensure complete cleaning of gum and teeth.

• Soft Long-Lasting Polyester Bristles – Get up to one extra month of use thanks to polyester bristles which bend better than the nylon bristles found in most other brushes on the market! (The ADA recommends changing your toothbrush every 3 months. The Doctor Plotka’s brush will last about 4!)

• Dentist Developed – Dr. Ronald Plotka designed this innovative toothbrush as part of his thriving 40+ year Boston-based dental practice.

Dr. Plotka’s also makes manual brushes for adults and travel toothbrushes too.

To celebrate and empower women just the way they are, REJUCREAM, an innovative skincare line for women’s most intimate areas, launched Rejuvenate, a daily nourishing and anti-aging cream created specifically for your vagina.

It’s time for a revolution in women’s intimate beauty, focused on pure, indulgent self-care and pampering. To spread awareness about this importance, I'm sharing 4 reasons to care for the feminine intimate area.

1. Reconnect - When you apply Rejuvenate daily, you’re reconnecting with the most intimate parts of your body, reminding yourself how important vulva care is and what a big role it plays in your everyday life. After you’ve been applying Rejuvenate for a few days, you’ll begin to feel more connected to your intimate well-being.
2. Respect - You respect your face, undereyes, neck and hands, and other visible parts of your body enough to dedicate time to their care. Why don’t you give your vulva the same attention? Show your body — even the unseen parts — the respect it deserves by caring for your intimate area properly.
3. Strengthen - After a few weeks, you feel more centered and balanced, you feel reconnected. Feeling more balanced and confident you are ready to face your every day challenges.
4. Enjoy - After a few weeks, you feel more centered and balanced, you feel reconnected. Feeling more balanced and confident you are ready to face your every day challenges.

Clinically tested under gynecologic and dermatologic supervision, this product acts as a second skin and can hydrate, moisturize and create a barrier to protect this delicate area.

Whether you are in post-partum and nursing an episiotomy scar or an empty nester looking to indulge yourself, you deserve a little care and special attention.

Three core ingredients comprise the patented RejuVstem Complex: Preptides, Probiotics and Miracle Berry Stem Cell Extract

• Peptides - Our unique blend stems from botanical origins that have been proven to diminish wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and boost the creation of new collagen, which gives skin structure, strength, firmness, and smoothness

• Probiotics - An amazing way of preserving your skin, our active probiotic is proven to help with skin hydration and illumination.

• Miracle Berry Stem Cell Extract - developed from Raspberries and designed to fight inflammation, it offers double benefits by soothing the skin and contributing to the prevention of skin ageing

Each bottle of Rejuvenate is 1.0 fl.oz (30ml) and may last up to two months if applied once daily.

RejuVstem products are paraben-free, silicon-free, fragrance-free and cruelty free. Products are manufactured in Switzerland in a leading cosmetics laboratory and clinically tested.
