I got the biggest laugh a couple of weeks ago watching Mila Kunis on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  Both Mila and Jimmy are parents of toddlers and they were talking about how much their little ones' favorite Nick Jr. shows.

I could totally relate.  Nickelodeon definitely gets a lot of airtime in the Three Boys and an Old Lady household. Whether it's the Littlest One watching Nick Jr., my oldest son and Avatar or me watching Spongebob Squarepants.  What can I say.  Mama loves some Spongebob. *smile*   

One of our faves, PAW Patrol has a new release coming out in a couple of weeks.  Nickelodeon's paw-some pups, the PAW Patrol, embark on their biggest mission yet in the brand-new TV movie, PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups. Available exclusively at Walmart on September 11, this 44-minute action-packed adventure comes to DVD along with a digital copy on Vudu ahead of its TV debut.

In this high-flying, heroic mission, the PAW Patrol are given Mighty Pup powers after a mysterious mete…

We JUST finished our Back to School shopping!  We wanted to make sure we sent the kids back to school with some much needed high tech gadgets. However, we have 4 kids so we watch our dollars carefully and look for quality, affordable tech essentials. 

We're still in the market for a couple of new laptops so more on that search later.  For now, here are 4 of our Back to School tech must haves that won't break the bank. Affordable is a must.  By affordable I mean $50 and under and all of these items come in at under $50.  Quality.  It's got to be a name we trust.  There are a lot of products out there but some are definitely "You get what you pay for".  All of these items are kid-tested and mom-approved for school aged kids to college students.  

Here you have it.  Our list of 4 back to school tech must haves.  Drum roll please.

There are a few on the market but Logitech has been our mouse of choice for years now and the new Logitech MX Anywhere mouse gl…

Next weekend Hubby and I will load up the car and drop my son off at college. I should be ready. I mean I’ve had 18 years to prepare for this and we knew this day would come one day but I am not ready.

Yes, I’m excited for him having the opportunity to attend college. Those years of A/P and IB courses and practice paid off. He earned a scholarship and he also received a music scholarship as well. He did the work, he earned the prize.  I'm so proud of him.

As proud as I am for him, I am absolutely terrified for me. A friend and I were talking. She’s in a similar situation. Her youngest leaves for college in a few weeks so my friend and her husband have started “hanging out” with other couples.

“it’s kinda weird hanging out with adults when so much of our lives revolved around our kids. I come home and I literally have nothing to do.”

Her words reminded me of all those hours spent in the car as my kid’s practice ran late or waiting at the school for the bus to arrive from that…
