With the kids going back to school, that means earlier bedtimes for everyone, but it doesn't always work out that way. With so much to do, a racing mind could keep you awake, or maybe you're like me and nighttime is your favorite time. Whatever the reason, I've got some great tips to help you get a good night's sleep and stay healthy so that you can keep on going strong.

I received a Sherpa Blanket from Collage.com in order to facilitate an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Hi, guys! Today's post is actually a product review. I know I don't do a whole lot of those, but when I was contacted by Collage.com to review one of their photo blankets, I was curious enough to agree. I thought they were cute but how hard would they be to design? Do you need an art degree to make a cute blanket? Also, most of the photos I have of the kids were taken on a phone, so would that affect the quality of the printing? I've got the answers to these questions and also a walkthrough of the creation process (actually super easy), a critique and a test of the final product, and also a giveaway at the end so that one of my readers can create the photo blanket of their dreams for free!

In my last post, I talked about teaching kids responsibility through chores and how to get started. A chore chart is a big part of helping the kids stay on task and motivated but I know not every parent is a whiz with making them, so for today's post, I'm giving you 6 free chore chart printables for kids of all ages!

We all want to raise children who become responsible adults, but that won't happen on its own. Teaching kids how to be responsible is a must. Responsibility can be learned by raising a pet, doing homework, or making sure their room stays clean, but one tool that parents seem to have pulled away from in recent years are chores. Chores are a wonderful way for children to learn responsibility and even at a young age, there are chores your children can manage.

To help one reader with a quick room refresh or to get you going on that DIY project I'm giving away $50 in your choice of either Paypal cash or an eGift Card! This giveaway is open worldwide. Enter below and good luck!

I received a Deskcise Pro from Flexispot in order to facilitate an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I'm at my desk a lot and it drives me nuts having to sit still for long periods, so when Flexispot contacted me and asked if I would like to try out one of their Ergonomic Workstations, I was happy to give one a go. I chose the Deskcise Pro V9 Desk Bike, part standing desk, part exercise bike, to put through its paces and here's what I found.

Back to school time is here already and we're busy getting ready for the new school year. My daughter is going into middle school at a completely new school and she's super-excited, but also a little nervous. She'll be going to a magnet school in another area, so she's worried that she won't know very many, if any, of the students and has never met any of the teachers. We had a little talk about teachers and how hard, but awesome, their jobs are and she wanted to give her new teacher a gift. Of course, we ended up putting together a great "Take a Break" gift basket that I think any teacher would love to receive, including a handmade mini Japanese-bound journal (tutorial below!)
