I love the idea of documenting my travels. A scratch off world map is an amazing idea that not only helps you keep track of where you have been, but also makes a unique piece of wall art to display in your home. I am so impressed with the Scratch Off World Map Ultimate Pack by Shiny Journey on Amazon!
The map comes with everything you need to create your own personalized map of the world. Simply scratch off the places that you have visited from among 252 different countries and regions. The scratch-off map tool set includes a scratch tool, an erasable gold pen, a cloth for erasing, and three sets of stickers with 20 themes.
This map makes for a great conversation started. Soon you will be discussing your travels and bringing back memories just by hanging this on your wall. I think this would also make the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys traveling. I love how easy it is to keep track of your travels and plan out your next adventure. Be sure to check out the map on Amazon HERE. I need to get a big frame to keep mine in decent shape between travels!

Being that I was a mathematics major in college, I am drawn to logic and critical thinking. When I saw this coding game by ThinkFun, I just couldn't wait to try it out! It is actually the third in their series of coding games which are designed to make you think. After testing out this game, I would love to get my hands on the other two!
One thing that I really enjoyed was the fact that the games are screen free for a completely unplugged experience, which is rare in today's technologically built world. It is a problem solving game that you can play on your own, or as a team.
After reading the instructions, I was a little bit confused, but what helped was jumping right in and solving the first puzzle. There are four "Robot Circuit Boards" which vary in range of hardness. Once you think you have the problem solved, you can check the solutions book to be sure. I had fun solving a few of these puzzles and it is a great way to get your mind flowing. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to sharpen their mind skills! Be sure to check out their website and purchase a game for yourself, they come in at just $14.99!

Autumn is here, and that means that it is time for all of the fun fall festivities to start. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, trick-or-treat, scarves and boots!

I really enjoy the scent of this candle because it is not overwhelming, and instead seems to be the perfect blend of fall and pumpkin. The candle features a burn time of 60-80 hours and has two natural wood wicks.

If you haven't heard or RuckPack, you are sorely missing out. After being featured on Shark Tank in 2012 and receiving deals from O'Leary and Herjavec, their business has expanded from a single product nutrition shot company to a full fledged sports nutrition company. They offer a full line of performance fuels, from ready to drink beverages to pills and powders.
Since 2012 they have been featured on Shark Tank, Beyond the Tank, Entrepreneur Magazine, Bloomberg Radio, Fox and Friends, Marine Times, People Magazine and Google even featured RuckPack in a Google Apps commercial.

It’s a brand whose owners live by a code of service to country and community and who uphold the ideals of honor, dedication, and integrity. RuckPack remains committed to their military roots, and everything RuckPack offers is designed with the warfighter in mind. RuckPack is made in the USA and is committed to giving up to 10% of profits back to charity.

No mess, no clean up, fun for the entire
family. These are a few of the many things you look for when choosing a spot
for a family picnic; but, it's not only the destination you need to consider.
When planning a picnic for the family, there are a few ways to ensure it is
easy, stress free, and enjoyable for everyone:
The food -
Go with finger food. Those you don't have to prepare, those which are easy to
pack, and those you don't need to bring plates, dishes, and cutlery to eat. Not
only will this eliminate the need for packing too much and clean up afterward,
you also know the kids are going to enjoy these fun, easy snacks.
Have the kids help -
Let them prepare a few fun snacks (ants on a log or Peanut butter balls). They
are going to choose projects you can do together, foods they are bound to
enjoy, and you are also going to have fun preparing for the day with them.
Active spot -
Choose a destination everyone can enjoy. Whether it is a park with attractions,
water slides, or other activities for the kids, or a beach where you can take a
dip in the water after eating, choose a destination everyone will appreciate.
Go disposable -
Plates, forks, cups, napkins. Make the clean up and prep work as simple as
possible. Choose disposable items you can toss at the end of the day. No worry,
no stress, easy for everyone who is preparing and doing the clean up afterward.
If you plan on going on a few picnics in the summer with your family then it
might not be best to go disposable. Why not take a look at some of the picnic
sets on offer. In the long run a good picnic basket set will save you money.
You want a day of fun in the sun, and a day everyone will enjoy to spend
together. By making things stress free and simple, not only are you going to
enjoy the day when planning and preparing, the kids are also going to enjoy the
time they spend together with you as well.

In this day in age, fewer and fewer people are wearing watches daily. Because everyone carries a cell phone around, the need is just not as strong. However, I believe that a nice watch can really set the tone of an outfit, and prepare a person for success!

The timepiece is designed to resemble a helicopter's instrument dial and even features a lighting mechanism that will make you feel like you are in the air!

The dial makes it easy to set the accurate time and the genuine leather wrist strap ensures that the watch will be comfortable to wear.

All Globenfeld watches are backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against all manufacturing defects and malfunction."

Most people know about Ripley's Believe It or Not! line of books. They are full of unusual skills, events and people and provide the perfect way to entertain yourself for a few hours and learn a bit more about the world. Now they are introducing a new children's books geared at the basics!
While my husband and I currently do not have any kids, in a few years I wouldn't hesitate to teach my future children with these books! The titles are "ODDphabet" and "Wacky123" and they are full of unique animals that will be sure to keep your children's attention, all while teaching the alphabet and 1,2,3's. What is better than learning combined with fun?!
Instead of being made of standard paper pages, both books are made of a thicker board. They are just as colorful as standard Ripley's books and feature drawing of fun animals designed to keep your child's attention. I am pretty impressed with their choices and even learned a few animals for myself! I can almost guarantee that children will find these books interesting and I hope it will encourage them to start learning the basics to reading and counting.
