British Soccer Camp WEEK!!!
Titus got to work on his soccer skills last week!   He is showing us so much talent!   He worked on passing a lot but he loves to dribble the ball himself.  

Titus got to meet four coaches that week.   2 were from England, 1 from London, and 1 from Brazil!   
The first day he was very timid and didn't want me to leave. I think it may have been due to heavy accents and Titus was confused at what the directions were.   By the end of the week, he was understanding much better.   It is amazing how challenging it can be when we live in a diverse world.  



Titus continued to have fun throughout the week.   I did notice a couple things they could improve on.  First, the ages groups could probably be divided a little bit more.  I think they could have used a few more helpers as well because it was hard to have a coach available for each game when there were more games then coaches available.  Those two things are hard to do.   I really enjoyed seeing the college-age…

If you haven't read my first two posts on Raw Nibs make sure you do here: Post 1 Post 2
We have used the Raw Nibs for the last month.  Every afternoon Kiah has had a 1/2 cup on top of her food.   She still is continuing to eat the Raw Nibs first!   She won't go back to her food until she is really hungry.   

Kiah, as you see above, was begging and begging for more Raw Nibs.   She sure has been trying to communicate and let us know she wants more.   
I think I like knowing that this is a quality product for my dog.   I really trust chewy.com and the products they sell!

My Review You know my kids are growing up when board books come in the mail and they aren't as excited as other longer books.  However, they still appreciate …

I'll be the first to admit that every single time I open my camera on my phone it alerts me that I have no more cloud storage.  So when I had the opportunity to review this item I was super pumped!  
Never heard of Kwilt?  Check this short video out:



I will also have to admit that when it comes to techy related things I usually just ask my husband to set it all up.   I get anxious and hate reading directions.   I know... as a teacher I should not be admitting it.   Honestly though... I think I suffer from Technology anxiety, is there such a thing?
HUGE air high 5's all around for this girl!  I didn't even ask my husband for any help using the Kwilt!!!   Seriously it is that easy!   
I easily found and downloaded the app and set up my shoebox.   It was painless and in easy steps to understand.  No need to fret or worry for any of you people like me who don't feel techy in an advanced techy world.  



These two pictures are screenshots I took of my progress!  It truly was simpl…

Thank -you Influenster and Kohl’s for a great promotion!  I am in denial about back to school but this was a good start for us.  Both kids picked out a new shirt.  With coupons and Kohl’s cash we made a great deal!
