Stuff those Stockings with @TheTrackR pixel!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Do you lose things often like I do? As a busy mom with too much on my mind, I can't seem to find anything EVER.

Thank goodness for products like TrackR pixel, a small, coin-sized Bluetooth tracking device that lights up and easily attaches to all of your important items -- phones, backpacks, wallets, laptops, etc. -- to make sure they never get lost.
Once you pair your TrackR pixel with the free iPhone/Android app, you can use your phone to locate any item immediately. If something goes missing, you can also check the in-app map for the last place you were within Bluetooth range or you can engage every open TrackR app to anonymously search for your lost item.

When your item comes within range, you’ll get an update with the last-known location of your lost item. Plus, with Family Sharing, you can leverage a “group effort” approach to finding items by allowing multiple people to track multiple devices. This is especially helpful for shared items like car keys, the TV remote, even the family pet.


We have used these on things like TV remotes and car keys and it has been a life saver time and time again!

If you lose things frequently, you NEED the TrackR pixel! And it makes a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer as well!


Buy It:

You can purchase TrackR pixel for $24.99 in many colors from the TrackR website.

NEW @Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Philips Sonicare Flexcare Platinum Connected is the latest innovation from the #1 dental professional recommended power toothbrush brand in the US. This high-tech brush uses Bluetooth® technology to connect to the free Philips Sonicare app and tracks brushing in real time – it reveals trouble spots via a 3D Mouth Map, guiding users to a complete clean.
It has Smart Sensor technology to track brushing location, scrubbing and pressure, and ultimately the brush teaches users to change their behavior and be better brushers! Data is stored in the handle so it’s tracking even without your phone being in the bathroom (no toothpaste spills or water splashes!).



Based on the data collected from using Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected, users receive a customized program called ‘TouchUp’ to help them immediately address any missed spots

The AdaptiveClean Brush Head is the only power toothbrush head with flexible rubberized sides
and bristles that uniquely conform to the shape of teeth and gums for up to four times more
surface contact to effortlessly remove up to ten times more plaque in hard-to-reach areas.


The Customized Brushing System includes three brushing modes at three levels of intensity,
offering a total of nine personalized brushing experiences:

  • Clean: Delivers a superb everyday clean
  • White: Removes surface stains to brighten and polish teeth
  • DeepClean: For an invigorating deep clean and exceptional results


The Location Sensors show where users are brushing too much or too little for better coverage and plaque removal and the Scrubbing Sensors alert users to reduce scrubbing for optimized technique and a deeper clean. Pressure Sensors track brushing pressure and alerts when/where too much pressure is applied, to protect gums. And the Smart Timer ensures you’re brushing for the dentist-recommended two minutes.

The Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected makes a great gift this holiday season and will help anyone and everyone take better care of their teeth!

Buy It:

You can purchase Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected for $179 on Amazon.com and from other major retailers.

Inspire a Love of Learning with @BluebeePals! #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.



Did you ever wish your child's favorite pet or stuffed animal could talk to them? My daughter loves talking to her stuffed animals and she now has the chance for them to talk back with her new Bluebee Pal - Hudson the Puppy!


Not only is Hudson SO SO Soft and Cuddly (my daughter wouldn't put him down and stop hugging and kissing him!) but he easily connects by Bluetooth to many devices and can read your child a story or sing a song!


Just prop up a laptop, tablet or smart phone onto their laps and tuck into their plush arms. Then watch the magic begin! You can check them out in this YouTube video and see how they work.

The magic is actually a connection to any Bluetooth enabled phone, tablet or laptop from Apple to Android. Each loveable stuffed animal has a mesmerizing feature -- lip synchronization – that allows the pal’s lips to move while singing a downloaded tune or engaging with various learning apps. Even foreign language apps work—in fact, as long as an app has sound, it will work with Bluebee Pals!


These educational toys make language and literacy fun. The pals can even be used as a hands-free telephone with the built in speaker and microphone! A rechargeable battery with USB micro-charged cable is included.


Comes in five animal styles: Riley the Zebra, Sammy the Bear, Hudson the Puppy, Lily the Lamb, and Leo the Lion.  Bluebee Pals have won seven notable industry awards, including the coveted Teachers’ Choice Awards that honor exceptional quality and outstanding performance in the classroom and at home.

What adventures have you gone on this summer???

I know no matter what adventure I am on and no matter what I am doing from exercise to car rides to school work, I have music playing! And with my new Bluetooth, splash-proof, affordable portable speaker from JBL by HARMAN, I can now have music on in the shower, on my bike and even in the rain!
