Ryobi ONE+ Drill-Driver Kit & DOCKit Starter Set | Essentials For The Home

I don’t share kickstarter or Indiegogo campaigns often, but I knew you guys would love this one!
Micro Drone 3.0 is the first of its kind in personal drone that combines expandable modular technology, sensor-assisted flying and a micro-gimbal for live streaming video. It is perfect for the professional drone enthusiast and those new to flying drones and want a great starter drone.
Small and lightweight, you can take it anywhere with no hassle. The flight options allows for auto-leveling, inverted flying, sensor assisted flying in up to 45 mph winds and ranging up to 300 feet. The video features include live-streaming video, first person view headset display, the world’s smallest gimbal, editing suite, 720 X 1280 HD at 30 fps and social media integration.
The sensors on the Micro Drone 3.0 work together beautifully to provide amazing stable flight while sending live video to your smartphone or virtual reality headset. No amount of pushing, prodding or poking will keep it from flying.
I know what my boys will be asking for this Christmas…I can just see the house now…

I am receiving a case of Pura Vida Ultimate Tequila, Backstage Pass & VIP All-Access Pass to the Rockstar UpRoar Festival in exchange for this post, However all thoughts & experiences are still 100% my own.
As you may already know, this past Wednesday I attended the Rockstar UPROAR Festival with Pura Vida Tequila! Myself & Rachel from The Link Fairy were treated like VIPs in the Pura Vita Party Bus.
I got there around 4:30 (I would have liked to have gone sooner, but I had to get the kiddos from school) and was able to take in a little Buckcherry before I headed over to the bus! They played on the second stage, and may not have been a “headliner” but they sure rocked the house!
After a few songs I headed over to the Bus..eeekkk..where I hung out for a bit and met some amazing people before heading back out and catching the end of Buckcherry.
After that it was time to head back to the bus to meet & greet with the band! Even more of an eeekkk, just might have squeaked out! By this time there were more VIPs around so the bus was getting pretty packed, but the mixologist had arrived so it was time for drinks! I decided on the Sully Smash which I shared with you last week…if you missed it, you can get the recipe here!
A crowd gathered outside the bus..it was time for the local contest winners to line up and get autographs from the band…
Godsmack finally rolled up on their golf carts…by this time Rachel and I were grinning ear to ear! The band very graciously walked the line singing pictures and a tee-shirt or two. Now is our time! We loaded on the bus with the band and other VIPs and got to interview GODSMACK!!
Rachel: When did you know you wanted to be a rockstar?
Sully: “Since I was a kid, I always knew this is what I wanted to do.”
Me: When did you feel like you “made it”?
Sully: “When I got my first GOLD record. I couldn’t believe so many people bought our record.”
Rachel: What is your favorite song to play?
Tony: “Voodoo”
Sully: “Really?!’
What’s your favorite Godsmack Song?
These guys are really down to earth and grateful for where they are! After our interview, we all headed outside to do the 8:15 Toast! We were handed a cup with a shot (or two) of Pura Vida Tequila.
After the toast Godsmack got back on their golf carts and headed off to get ready for their performance.
We hoped back on the bus for a few more drinks and conversation with the other VIP then around 7:30 we headed over to the main stage and was able to photograph the first three songs of Seether in the photo pit then enjoy the rest of their set off to the side of the pit.
Finally it’s 9:30 and time for GODSMACK to take the stage! We got to go into the photo pit for the first three songs from them as well! I loved being so close, and soaked up every moment! After our three song limit was up we soaked up the rest of their set. I really enjoyed when they rolled out the second drum set with Sully at them. Watching Sully & Shannon go at it was amazing!
I only have two regrets from the evening…not getting a picture with them..and not getting anything autographed..but being up-close and personal has definitely been checked off my bucket list! I did get a picture with Jason Cassidy who was with us on the bus!
Check out GODSMACK’s new album 1000hp on shelves and digital media now

It’s finally spring! Lets open the windows, get cleaning and freshin up our interior look. One of my favorite ways to freshin up my interior is to hang new pictures of my family.

As you may already know, this past Wednesday I attended the Rockstar UPROAR Festival with Pura Vida Tequila! Myself & Rachel from The Jetsetting Mom were treated like VIPs in the Pura Vita Party Bus.

About a month ago, you might have heard me screaming because not only was I headed to the ultimate Disney Fan event, D23 Expo, but I also found out we would be heading to Disneyland to celebrate their 60th Anniversary!! I’ve been to Disney World once when I was 17, so I was so excited to be headed to Disneyland and the Diamond Celebration just made it that much more special!
Disneyland turned 60 on July 17, but just like when we celebrate our “birthday week” Disney is celebrating all year long, which makes this an amazing year to plan a trip.
Like most Disneyland newbies, I wasn’t sure where to start..what rides are not to be missed, where to eat, where to shop etc. So thank goodness there were a few Disneyland experts on hand to guide us through our Disneyland experience!
Walking up to the ticket gates you can feel the excitement.
Some of our MUST ride, rides at Disneyland:
Indiana Jones Adventure
Pirates of the Carribean
Radiator Springs Racers
It’s A Small World
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Toy Story Mania
The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror
There are three shows that should be on your Must-See List!!
Paint The Night is one of three all-new shows for the 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration and it really is dazzling! When the lights go down at The Happiest Place on Earth, that’s when the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration shines most brilliantly, thanks to the all-new Disney Paint the Night Parade!
Watch in wonder as the vivid imagination of Mickey Mouse and his friend Tinker Bell’s enchanted pixie dust paint the night with dazzling Disney dreams, complete with a colorful palette of more than one million glowing lights!
With a wave of his white-gloved hand, Mickey conjures up spectacular Disney visions right before our eyes! Gaze in awe as luminescent floats, costumed performers and beloved Characters from Disney and Pixar stories flow like a shimmering river of neon down Main Street, U.S.A.
Paint the Night Parade Viewing Tips from Mom Endeavors:
Go to the 11pm parade!
Get a spot by Small World or the Matterhorn.
Want more Paint the Night Parade Viewing Tips? Head over to Mom Endeavors for a few tips to make your parade viewing experience the best!
Be sure to stick around after the first parade for the AMAZING Disneyland Forever Fireworks Spectacular!! You will not be disappointed! We were there for 2 nights and I was in awe both nights.
The World of Color was an amazing show in California Adventures at the Paradise Pier. The fountains come alive in this one of a kind show. This one-of-a-kind nighttime extravaganza, World of Color features nearly 1,200 fountains—shooting water up to 200 feet in the air—to create a 19,000 square-foot projection “screen.” The soaring music that accompanies the images is equally momentous, as are the stunning fire, fountain, fog and laser effects.
Filled with never-before-seen surprises and dazzling special effects, and hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and the one-and-only Mickey Mouse, it’s an unforgettable opportunity to follow along on Walt’s incredible journey of imagination—from his earliest creations, to his very first visions for The Happiest Place on Earth, to today’s Disney magic… and beyond!
To enjoy the parade, fireworks spectacular and the World of color, you really need to plan at least 2 nights in the parks. The World of Color happens in California Adventures the same time as Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular, and the (first) Light The Night Parade. However, if you move quickly though, you can view World of Color and make it over to Disneyland immediately afterward in order to catch the second parade. You can also see the fireworks from California Adventure, but you really need to be by the castle to get the full experience of the show.
This event was part of an all expenses paid press trip to Anaheim for the #D23Expo, all experiences and opinions are 100% my own.

With 4 kiddos you can bet I’ve been through my fair share of colds. It doesn’t matter what time of year, but the spring seems to always be the worst time. As a mom, you’ll do absolutely anything to make sure your little ones are healthy and happy – There are many steps we try to teach them to avoid getting sick, like hand washing and not eating or drinking after someone who is sick. But kids will be kids and you can’t always protect them from the icky germs that get them sick. Before you know it, no matter what you do, sick happens. I have a few tips to help get you and your child through that icky spring cold and back to doing what kids do.
Hydration – Little ones get feeling crappy and grabbing a drink is the last thing on their mind. Make sure they drink enough fluids whether it be water or electrolyte-replacement drink so dehydration doesn’t happen, because no one wants a cold to turn into a hospital trip.
Rest – Kids need lots of rest for their growing bodies as it is, but kids who are sick need much more. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the bed or the couch as long as they are bundles and resting. Give them a few small toys or put in a favorite movie to help them get through without going insane from boredom.
Comforting Items – Getting through an illness is much easier with something comforting. A familiar or favorite blanket or stuffed toy can make all the difference.
Lots of Patience – Let’s face it, they are miserable and may have some strange requests and want your full attention. Be patient, a cold doesn’t last forever, but giving them the love and attention they need makes all the difference.
Proper Meds – Meds can’t make a cold go away, but they can sure help the symptoms and make your child feel better faster. Pfizer Pediatric wants to help you get prepared for the fevers, coughs, and colds coming your way this season, and Target has all of the Pfizer Pediatric products you need to fight against the “ick’s” and “ew’s” that bring your kids down.
If Sick just got real.™ for your family, there are solutions to help tackle even the ickiest of symptoms, like Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin®, and/or Children’s Dimetapp®.
Infants’ and Children’s Advil® provide unsurpassed fever and pain relief(1) , and contain ibuprofen, the medicine pediatricians use most for their own kids’ fevers(2) (for ages 6 months -11 years)
Children’s Robitussin® provides soothing action and cough control with some formulations lasting up to 8 hours (for ages 6-12 years)
Children’s Dimetapp® provides great-tasting cold-fighting power and is the #1 pharmacist recommended brand for children’s cough & cold symptoms(3) (for ages 6+)
Ease those aches and pains, while reducing a child’s fever fast with Children’s Advil®, a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. Children’s Advil® comes in several great-tasting flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors.

Formulated just for kids, Children’s Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack (Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion and Children’s Robitussin® Nighttime Cough) non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long-acting nighttime formula relieves coughs and runny noses to help kids get the rest they need.
