Disclosure EyePromise Screen Shield sponsored this post, but all thoughts and opinions are mine. Does Increased Screen Time Affect Eyesight?  Whether we like it or not, children are getting more and more screen time, both at home and school, now that educational materials are digital. At school, children are given laptops and tablets to use to follow along with their teacher during classwork. In my experience, at least some teachers are administering assessments via the book publisher’s website instead of the traditional paper tests. And while at home, students are often required to complete assigned lessons through their teacher’s website.  Having educational resources readily accessible online is a great way to aid in learning, but it can also cause eye strain due...

Disclosure :: tasc Performance, a New Orleans based company, sponsored this review and shared some cool items. However, these are our own opinions and we think we will live in these clothes {because, Louisiana humidity} and have a running wish list for more items! A “tasc” Anyone Can Rock! Several of our friends have mentioned tasc Performance in the past few months; we’ve heard everything from “best underwear” to “most comfortable shirts” and “super breathable shorts.” So naturally, my husband and I really wanted to give this New Orleans based brand a trial run! It’s really rare that Tyler and I BOTH gush over one particular brand because we’re typically polar opposites when it comes to apparel. While I'm more about style, he...
