“My butt hurts!” School, work, extracurriculars, etc. everything seems to be remote and virtual for the unforeseeable future and I don’t know about y’all but our hard wooden/metal chairs and low profile sectional were not made for endless hours on computer screens. By the end of the day the kids are complaining that their necks ache, backs are sore, and yes, even their butts hurt, lol! Now, I must admit, never in my life did I think I’d be goggling this, but, 2020 has had me doing a lot of things I never thought I’d ever do in my lifetime. 2020 has me shopping for gaming chairs, or let’s be honest, maybe we should just call them 2020 chairs. Not familiar with the gaming chair? A gaming chair is an ergonomically designed chair that provides the best support and comfort for a gaming/ work/school-station. Anyone in your family complaining of these ailments-necks, backs, and/or butts starting to hurt? Then a gaming chair might just be the perfect solutions (and a great Christmas gift đ ) Check out the luxury chairs on https://cybeart.com//talk about the very height of comfortable home work/school/gaming station!

Sick of trying to keep each kiddosâ gifts equal in both quality and quantity? Tired of all the mess Christmas morning? What if you could just relax and actually enjoy the Christmas season with your family? If you adopt this simple philosophy you can, itâs the Want, Need, Wear, & Read Philosophy.Â
The idea is that you only give four gifts to each child: Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.
As a new mother, you are bombarded with information about babies and routines and sleep. You are told that you should put your baby down awake but sleepy at the same time of day so that they learn to get into a routine with their sleep. You are told that a routine is key for their development, and that without one, your baby wonât develop the way that you think they will. Routines are a good idea for older babies, and the best routine you could ever have is the one that your baby sets for themselves.
UPDATE: ANOTHER BLOW!! This was originally published just a couple weeks ago, TPS, our school district, just sent out another message that ALL kids will return to remote learning at home. We are currently working through some deep emotions, but this post holds truer now then it did just a few weeks ago. Would love to read your take and thoughts.
The BIG day was almost here, the day the kids have been looking forward to since March, going back to school in-person!! Our 7th and 9th grader were super stoked, after a decade in an elementary building they were going to finally have lockers. You would have thought they were finally receiving their driverâs license the way their eyes light up when talking about their locker, locker combinations, how they wanted to decorate their lockers, etc. As a parent it felt amazing seeing them getting so excited about school, and truth be told they werenât the only ones. My plan after all three kiddos were finally in in-person, or the hybrid schedule, was to start substitute teaching. Yep, we were finally moving on from this quarantine lifestyle, back into the real world, back to reality, our lives outside the home, no longer on a screen daily, but actually in-person. We were so close we could taste it!! And then we received the crushing news.
Itâs nearly that time of year where the festivities are upon us, and although this year hasnât been quite the same as before, we can still make use of this festive time of year. Here are four ways to get festive with the family.
Do you worry about whether your parents are prepared for retirement? It’s natural to be concerned about whether they have adequate savings and investments and how they might need to adjust their lifestyle once they’re no longer working. You might also be thinking about where they’re going to live and what might happen if they need some extra support in the future. Parents often won’t talk to their adult children about their finances, which can leave you concerned about whether yours are prepared for retirement. If you want to help make sure your parents are ready, there are some things that you can do to help them prepare.
Waiting for that magical gift idea to just pop into your head? Hoping that in time it’ll just click and you’ll cross paths with the perfect gift for that loved one? And then what often inevitably occurs? 1-you wait too long and just grab a gift card, or, 2-you panic and grab whatever gift you can find knowing it’s a total gamble, but chances are disappoint is going to come over the recipient’s face when they open those kitten oven mitts. While gift-giving comes naturally to some people, for others of us choosing a gift for a birthday, Christmas or another celebration can be a stressful task. If youâre someone who struggles to choose gifts for your loved ones, donât panic – it doesnât have to be a nightmare, itâs just a case of learning what it takes to choose a truly great gift.
With more and more people staying home due to COVID-19, people are spending a lot more time on streaming services, watching TV and finding new shows to indulge in. With more time going towards electronics, it’s easy to get caught up in watching re-runs of shows you’ve seen 100 times and can quote every line to, but you don’t have to settle for something you’ve already seen. Stargirl, which was executively produced by Geoff Johns, was recently released on DC Universe. If you like superheroes and DC Comics, this show may be something to check out. Here are descriptions of three of the top characters in the series.
1. Stargirl
The main character is played by Brec Bassinger. Stargirl is the star of the show and starts out as a normal high school student from Los Angeles who’s just minding her own business and going through life until she finds the Cosmic Staff. After finding the staff, she transforms into Stargirl and prepares for her role to lead the Justice Society of America. She’s your typical girl next door who ends up stumbling into something supernatural. Before Bassinger becomes Stargirl, she’s commonly known as Courtney Whitmore.
2. Wildcat II
Yvette Monreal plays this character who starts out as a popular, well-liked student named Yolanda Montez. However, her luck changes and she ends up getting disgraced by her ultra-Catholic parents which makes her an outcast. After dealing with this trauma, she befriends Stargirl and becomes a member of the Justice Society of America, transforming into Wildcat II. One of her valuable skills throughout the series is boxing.
3. Hourman II
Before becoming Hourman II, Cameron Gellman plays Rick Tyler. He’s a troubled teen with a hard past. He has anger issues and is a high school delinquent. His parents were both killed when he was seven years old in a set-up car accident, so he’s dealt with a lot without much guidance. He befriends Stargirl and ends up transforming into Hourman II, following in the footsteps of his late father. He too joins the Justice Society of America.
With so many shows out there to choose from today, it can be hard to settle on a series without having a family fight or you not actually enjoying what you chose. Stargirl is an action-packed series that will satisfy any DC Comic lover’s fancy. Consider adding it to your list of shows to indulge in as you stay home more often.
