Cutting the cord is easier then you might think. For us it started out as a way to save a big chunk of change per month. After a while we didn't miss it at all. Then came streaming TV, and our lives opened up to not just DVD's but movies, shows, and then most recently to shows that were shown on TV that we can get for free the day after. Not to mention HD Antenna's which bring free broadcasting channels to you in crystal clear form. Except for when there is a storm then you just find another channel. FREE never sounded so good. 

Honestly our children's wishlist's went down by a mile when we cut the cord which was money savings we hadn't thought of until we saw the difference in our budget. Sometimes one change can really make a big difference in your life and this is one we are glad we made.

When we moved to our current home we looked at the prices of TV services and they are just too costly and most of the channels we wouldn't even watch. With Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player we are able to watch movies, shows, live TV, YouTube, and even photos streaming on all of our devices. It is simply awesome.

So easy to connect with High-speed wireless connectivity. Built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi connects to the Internet through your wireless home network (wireless router required and sold separately). Compatible with your existing HDTV. Easily connects to high-definition televisions with HDMI connectivity.

Mommy's Touch Giveaway

Enter to Win the Giveaway Extravaganza!

2 Grand Prize Winners + 2 Runner Ups!

This great giveaway is Sponsored by Mommy's Touch

and Hosted by Mommy's Playbook

Love these for both newborn and older children who want to sit on your lap and either play or chew. Great for when you forget to bring something for your little one to hunker down on and they also look great when you don't have your baby in two. Very fashionable. 

TWO GRAND PRIZE WINNERS will receive 3-Pack Shark Tooth Silicone Chews! These adorable teethers are made with 100% food grade silicone and pass FDA testing requirements. Chew toys for aggressive chewers usually look silly and attract unwanted attention, but your child will receive nothing but compliments while wearing this chewerly. Who doesn't like a shark tooth necklace silicone teether? Mommy's Touch chewlery is created with cool designs that can be used for kids with sensory seeking needs such as autism, oral fixations, thumb sucking, ADHD, a desire to fidget or trouble focusing, although not meant for aggressive chewing. These pendant chewies are great oral motor therapy tools making them a fashionable piece of chewable jewelry and work great as an autism chew necklace.

FIRST RUNNER UP will choose (2) Phoenix-designed Necklaces! The Phoenix-design Mommy's Touch chewely necklaces are available in Wood Design, Blue Phoenix, or Black Phoenix. Our first runner up will have the opportunity to choose TWO colors of their choice for this great prize! (I'm loving the wood one!)

Finally, our SECOND RUNNER UP will receive one Fish Hook Chew Necklace! Known in Hawaiian as the makau, the fish hook pendant stands for everything that is good and promises its wearer prosperity, strength and good luck. This teether is bpa free, but way cooler than chewy tubes and other motor sensory toys out there! The fish hook teething necklace for boys and girls is made with cute and trendy designs that can be worn by both boys and girls and with multiple outfits. Multifunctional chewing necklace and teething toy to keep your baby occupied and comfortable while in the house or out.

Freaky Friday

Ellie and her meticulous mom, Katherine, never see eye to eye. Ellie, the typical teen, is a cynical slob who's lost interest in everything since her dad passed away -- except for a certain boy: her crush, Adam. The day before Katherine's wedding, the friction between Ellie and her stressed-out mom turns into an argument, during which a precious hourglass gifted to Ellie by her dad suddenly shatters, causing them to magically switch bodies. Soon they are on a musical journey of self-discovery and empathy neither one could have imagined.

Available on Amazon HERE.
