the dainty chain necklaces to go with my everyday wardrobe. I love cute, dainty
rings that add a little touch to my hands. A pendant necklace or bar necklace are always a versatile piece of jewelry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many people don’t head into a marriage planning for divorce, even though the divorce rates in the United States estimate that <a href="https://time.com/5434949/divorce-rate-children-marriage-benefits/">half of all marriages will end in divorce</a>. How people choose to deal with divorce and separation will be different, but the legal team at <a href="https://mensrights.com/tag/cordell-cordell/">Cordell & Cordell</a> has noticed first-hand that divorce can be much harder on the male spouse. Women are often considered to be more emotional than men, yet there is more than emotional strain during a divorce. Research shows than men can stand to lose more than health and happiness when a divorce occurs.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Men Don’t Grieve</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next to the death of a close friend or family member, dealing with a divorce can be one of the most stressful events that can occur in a person’s life. Any situation that faces such a noticeable loss can bring feelings of grief. It is a healthy emotion that helps an individual process their feelings and work through what comes next in their life. Women will take the time to grieve and seek help from a counselor or family member, but men often skip the grieving period. This puts them at a disadvantage when trying to focus on their goals or their dreams, as everything has shifted and their emotions are too volatile to keep them on track. Bottling up emotions like that can bring on anxiety and depression.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Men’s Health Loses Priority</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the weeks and months following a divorce, research has found that health problems with fluctuating weight, insomnia, anxiety, and <a href="https://www.divorcemag.com/blog/managing-depression-and-anxiety-during-divorce/">depression are common in men</a>. The stress of dealing with the absence of their partner or children impacts their perceptions of identity, but there are often financial and logistical concerns. Any of these added stressors increase the risk of suffering a stroke or developing heart disease. Males often turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate their emotional state, further damaging their health. Men don’t usually seek help for these issues or adjust their lifestyle to be more healthy, as wives are often known to be the motivator or encourager in a marriage.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Men Change Their Identity</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even if you had only been married for a short time, the status of being a husband and wife establishes a new identity. This can impact how you view yourself, but it also develops a foundation for how others will view you. Men feel the hit on their identity more significantly following a divorce, and they are less eager to join in social activities or find new groups to help get them out and about. However, they don’t want to be alone, so they often rush back into a relationship without taking care of their emotions. They suppress the anger or frustration in hopes that their new interest will keep them busy and help them move on. This usually only ends in more relationship trouble. In order to be the right person for each situation, men experience an identity crisis, and this can lead to instability for the rest of their life regardless of their future relationship status.</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Men Miss Their Kids</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mothers are often the ones that end up with custody of the children, and the absence from their children is devastating to many fathers. The <a href="https://cportal.cordelllaw.com/">Cordell and Cordell professionals</a> work specifically with cases involving custody rights for fathers in order to help restore a balance and presence in the kid’s lives. Being fully present with each moment you get to spend with your kids can help you work through the sadness and loneliness you experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There aren’t any easy ways to go through a divorce, even though a couple claims the decision was amicable. There will always be emotional issues that need to be addressed and health concerns that could pop up. Men need to take special care of dealing with their needs post-divorce in a healthy way.</span></div>

I was excited to take my kids to Medieval Times. Even more excited to see the new castle in Scottsdale. It was a perfect time to celebrate my youngest son’s birthday. He had just turned 12 years old, days before. I thought it would be fun to surprise him. I paid for a VIP treatment in which he would be knighted and they would announce his birthday. Upon arriving, we walked down the red carpet to the VIP line. We were greeted by Knights. You check in and are given a crown corresponding to a team to root for. The staff is great! They all keep to their character, accents and all! Medieval Times is not only a theater show, but they also provide a “feast”. There is a 5 course meal which includes soup, garlic bread, chicken, corn, potatoes wedges and dessert. I didn’t expect much, but the food was very delicious! Even my kids enjoyed it! They also provide boxes for leftovers if needed. They are also great at accommodating any dietary restrictions. You must remember....there are <b>NO UTENSILS</b>. So be prepared to use your hands. A full bar is also available for the 21 and over Lords and Ladies.<br />

As you eat, the show takes place. The crowd gets involved and cheers on for your color Knight. The excitement gets everyone participating and makes for competition. Whether you're with a group of friends or just a small family, it's fun and entertaining. It's a perfect time to enjoy the show and be a kid again! Your kids will definitely enjoy the competition, the rivalry and the acting. Even if someone is not into the Renaissance/Medieval Era, it's great for entertainment. It would be perfect for a team outing as well! If you haven't been Medieval Times, you need to visit, at least once. It's a great place for a date night or for a big occasion. I went to the Scottsdale location but there are others around the U.S. as well.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You have a lot of stuff to keep up with when it comes to preparing for the holidays, so it's always nice to find ways to make things more convenient. Live Christmas trees are a particularly big inconvenience since you have to pick up them up, keep them from drying out and dispose of them. However, they also provide that classic Christmas look and smell. If you're on the fence about whether to get an artificial tree or a live one, here are some things to consider.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Transporting the Tree</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the biggest downsides to opting for a live Christmas tree is the fact that you have to haul the tree yourself. While there are some places that will deliver a tree to your home, you generally have to take it home yourself. This might not be a big problem if you have a big truck, but it's definitely something to consider if you have a smaller car that you have to tie your tree to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By contrast, artificial Christmas trees such as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Balsam-Hill-Premium-Artificial-Christmas/product-reviews/B00FJXS3YI">Balsam Hill trees</a> can be delivered to you by mail and conveniently stored in your home after Christmas each year. You don't have to worry about packing it up in your car or having it die at the end of each year, plus you'll save money since you won't have to pay for a tree every year.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Decorating the Tree</b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">For some people, wrapping the new Christmas tree in lights and covering it in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvoP6P7EDIgz-1PUDAoE3t8NoGFMhZeY8Uw0orntaf14sxp9Akz8G3ZpX1HN7bujx2tvi90k_W4gcpSp0gbXLHRs0okwNxLMCF4LiK3bU3efiMeRsmHCNUduMPgZeuOOkvAKBZCvNXk8M/s1600/259255ef-b481-4448-89a7-105c6332ccd0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="605" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvoP6P7EDIgz-1PUDAoE3t8NoGFMhZeY8Uw0orntaf14sxp9Akz8G3ZpX1HN7bujx2tvi90k_W4gcpSp0gbXLHRs0okwNxLMCF4LiK3bU3efiMeRsmHCNUduMPgZeuOOkvAKBZCvNXk8M/s320/259255ef-b481-4448-89a7-105c6332ccd0.png" width="259" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> ornaments is part of the fun of Christmas. For others, that simply adds to the hassle of decorating for the holidays. No matter how you slice it, you have to decorate your live tree every year if you want it to look good. When you're done with your tree, you have to take all those decorations off and deal with the tangled mess of lights the next year.</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Artificial Christmas trees are better when it comes to decorating because there are tons of good pre-lit options. These Christmas trees have lights built into them so all you have to do is stand the tree up and plug it in. According to many <a href="https://www.backyardboss.net/balsam-hill-reviews/">Balsam Hill reviews</a>, these lights both look great and last a long time. Since artificial trees are generally lit with LEDs, you don't have to worry about them dying quickly.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>End-of-Season Convenience</b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As difficult and time-consuming as it can be to get everything decorated and prepared for the holidays, it's also a lot of work to get your house back to normal when the holidays are over. This is especially true when you're talking about a live Christmas tree since you have to remove the decorations, pack your tree up and <a href="https://realchristmastrees.org/dnn/All-About-Trees/How-to-Recycle">dispose</a> of it. In some areas, you may have a more convenient drop-off location where you can have your Christmas tree disposed of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As far as artificial trees go, you don't have much to do when Christmas is over. Since these trees won't die and can be easily stored, all you have to do is unplug your tree and pack it away until next Christmas. Even if you do opt to wrap your own lights around your artificial tree, you can always <a href="https://www.hayneedle.com/tips-and-ideas/how-to-store-christmas-tree/">store the tree</a> with the lights wrapped around it but unplugged.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Decorating and preparing for the holidays is no small task, but an artificial Christmas tree can make things easier for you. If you prefer convenience, an artificial tree can save you a lot of time and hassle. Making the investment in a good artificial tree can save you time and money for many holiday seasons to come.</span></div>

I love that it has automatic material settings. There's no wasted material. One thing I've found with other competitor machines is without the automatic material setting function, I had to guess at the speed, blade setting and force. Cricut makes it easy to select the type of medium and use a dial which has the most common material. Here is a list of the smart dial settings. For any custom materials, there is a list in the Design Space you can choose from to make sure Cricut knows what you are cutting. All in all, it takes the guess work out, which means you won't waste material.</span></div>

If you're one to match or color coordinator your craft room, you'll find it easy to do that with Cricut. Some of my favorite accessories include the basic tools set (photo above), the Infusible Ink Markers and Pens, the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets, the Easy Press 2, the acrylic ruler and the cutting ruler.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Cricut Explore Air 2 has come in hand for this holiday season. I was able to make many personal gifts for my friends and family. I made many gifts using images from Design Space. My little holiday gift sacks were a big hit this year. I got blank gift sacks from Target and did a holiday monogram for my sweet friends. It was simple and easy but looks like I spent a lot of time. (wink wink). I chose a design from Cricut Design Space. Customized it with the letter for each friend. Next, I chose red and green to stick to the holiday spirit. I used iron on vinyl (heat transfer vinyl). I cut the images out on the machine, weeded the images and used my Easy Press 2 to press onto my holiday bags. So easy and simple! Inside the holiday bags, I made personalized ornaments.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To keep with the Holiday spirit, we went to Schnepf Farms which is a local farm in Queen Creek, Arizona. During the holidays they are transforming the farm into a Christmas Winter Wonderland. It's the best way to get festive this Holiday season! Christmas at Schnepf Farms is filled with over 12 fun and exciting things to do. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a new kind of holiday magic for the entire family. Featuring the World of Illumination train ride, ice skating, ferris wheel, 4D animated show, cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus, reindeer hayrides, pictures with Santa, glow mini golf and the world's largest inflatable Christmas-themed obstacle course. </span></div>

We brought along my GodDaughter as well. Upon arrival we were immediately in the holiday spirit with all the lights everywhere. One thing I enjoyed about Christmas at Schnepf Farms is because they had FOOD! There is no shortage of treats, so don't worry. They had mac n cheese, chili,hot dogs, french fries and more! I ordered Lobster Mac N' Cheese! There is even a beer and wine garden! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aside from enjoying the colorful lights at Schnepf Farms, there is so much to do and so many beautiful photo ops for your holiday photos! Making memories are always the reason why I enjoy taking my family to events like this. If it wasn't so cold the day we went, we probably would have taken many more photos. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The train ride through the World of Illumination is one of the best things to see. The music and lights synchronized to eachother along with all of the magical decorations just makes the night that much more special.

Tickets range from $20 to $35 per person and can be purchased at the door or online at <a href="http://www.schnepfchristmas.com/">www.SchnepfChristmas.com</a>. <i>A portion of proceeds will benefit the New Leaf Foundation.</i></span></div>

I was a bit hesitant about it at first but I was excited to see what it can do! So I tested it out...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What is Infusible ink you ask? The <a href="https://tap.fit/SkNaaR15H" target="_blank">Cricut Infusible Ink</a> is an ink transfer material that allows you to create professional level projects. The ink becomes one with fibers of your material. There is no peeling, no cracking, no wrinkling and no flaking. It is machine washable. The line has pens, markers and Infusible ink transfer sheets. They are compatible with all Cricut machines. One issue I have is that it is only to be used to Cricut Infusible Ink system compatible products. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tested it out on a t-shirt. This compatible shirt by Cricut is 95% Polyester and 5% spandex. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My tips for using the Infusible Inks:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">make sure you're using <i>laser</i> printer paper. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Be sure to pick a design that is detailed, but not too small. Make sure you use the right marker or pen for your liking.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Best used with the <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=451225&m=51766&u=688364" target="_blank">Cricut EasyPress</a> and EasyPress Mat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Be sure to use butcher paper as directed. If you use the Cricut Infusible Ink Sheets, butcher paper comes in the package. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Use the heat resistant tape </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Step by Step Instructions:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 1</b> Draw your image. You can use the Cricut Design Space images or upload your own. I used one from the Cricut Access. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 2</b> Color in your design if needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 3</b> Using the Cricut EasyPress Mat, place your blank on top. Use a piece of white cardstock to protect your blank and the mat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 4</b> Use a lint roller to roll the area of your blank. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 5</b> Cover the blank with butcher paper to remove wrinkles and moisture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 6</b> <span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">Set </span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">Cricut</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;"> </span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">EasyPress</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;"> 2 to 385°F (195°C) and preheat for 15 seconds</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">. </span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">For original </span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">Cricut</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;"> </span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">EasyPress</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;"> settings, refer to </span><a href="https://home.cricut.com/easypress-heat-settings-guide" rel="noopener" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;">Cricut EasyPress Heat Transfer Guide</span><span data-contrast="none" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;">.</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The year is going by so fast, I can't believe it's almost Christmas! After Thanksgiving we always go into Christmas mode. This year our Thanksgiving holiday was low key. We didn't go home for the holidays. We stayed at home, with just the 4 of us and our 3 furbabies. We cooked a simple meal and relaxed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I needed to get into the Christmas spirit. So we headed out to <a href="https://bit.ly/34xyTCl" target="_blank">World of Illumination</a> in hopes to find that motivation to decorate and jump into Christmas mode. This was our first year checking out World of Illumination. We've been seeing it throughout the months being built so we were excited once it was open. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7sZUD9kGhwATVkaN93QTvOlKOhfmKmLMQAGWUg3aIfxJvYr-rnJbM0sDKL3fkshJ4dje6sPjU6jj5AGtkViNwErEO9ory-IXyFm-9g0LNw3bEn0xBsw4BrotVRiEi1Gn1Z_V62wCSIQ/s1600/20191127_183828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="778" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7sZUD9kGhwATVkaN93QTvOlKOhfmKmLMQAGWUg3aIfxJvYr-rnJbM0sDKL3fkshJ4dje6sPjU6jj5AGtkViNwErEO9ory-IXyFm-9g0LNw3bEn0xBsw4BrotVRiEi1Gn1Z_V62wCSIQ/s320/20191127_183828.jpg" width="155" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is exactly what we needed! Tons of Christmas lights and decorations synchronized to holiday music by tuning into a station on your own car radio! There were a lot of other families who had the same idea. The <a href="https://worldofillumination.com/" target="_blank">World of Illumination</a> light show is a drive-through attraction featuring over 2 million lights, synchronized to your favorite holiday music. One of the World's Largest Holiday Drive Through Light show, it's sure to get you and your family into the Christmas spirit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I recommend you to get your tickets before heading down. They also sell kettle corn, hot chocolate and a few snacks before entering the attraction. No need to get out of your car at all. If you have a truck or a car with a sunroof, it's neat to cruise through the light show in the bed of the truck. The kids will love it! I saw many kids in the bed of the truck or sticking their heads out of the sunroof. My favorite part was the lighted tunnel. I enjoyed the music they played and how they synchronized the lights to the music. Upon entering you received a goodie bag with coupons but most importantly, a pair of 3D glasses. When you wore them through the light show, snowflakes were all around. It was a cute touch to the show. My youngest (11) enjoyed it! There was also a 36ft tall animated Snow man who sang along with the songs that played. Occasionally he would blow snow from his top hat. Just another added little touch to get those holiday smiles from kids of all ages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are a Crafter that works with HTV (heat transfer vinyl) or iron on, you know how expensive traditional heat presses can be. If you're like me and have tried using an iron on projects, you know they can be a bit unpredictable. Because I am in the tshirt business and have done shirt orders by the masses, it was necessary for me to get a heat press. For those who aren't in the tshirt business this new gadget may be for you!</span></div>

The EasyPress 2 is another part of the Cricut Family. The EasyPress now has a bigger family. There are 4 sizes to choose from to fit your crafting needs. There is a 12"x10", 9"x9", 6"x7" and the cutest one of all the EasyPress Mini which is 1.92"x3.25". The EasyPress in your desired size is easy to learn, easy to use, lightweight, portable and like all of Cricut's products...so stinkin' cute!</span></div>

I think it's just the right size to cover most designs. I do have a heat press, so I didn't think I needed anything bigger. I do however want to get the Mini because I like the idea of using it on hats. This gadget allows you to get precise heat as well as professional results. There is a temperature and a timer. Though small and compact, the EasyPress heats up to 400 degrees F. What I like the most about it, is that it heats up fast! Alot faster than my heat press does. There is a safety base included that allows your EasyPress to sit on top of. No need to worry about burning your desk or work area. Another nice feature is that it has an auto shutoff. Although it is not included, it is recommended that you purchase the Cricut EasyPress Mat to protect your work surface. I find that it helps a lot, so if you are thinking you don't want to buy it, trust me, you will get better, more professional and longer lasting results. </span></div>

This is when you can try it and see how easy it is to use. Here's a photo of myself using it as soon as I got it. I was very impressed at how simple, quick and easy it was to press a design. It was pretty much a plug and play product. I set the temperature to the suggested temperature and time. It heated up within seconds and I pressed. The <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=624441&m=51766&u=688364" target="_blank">Cricut EasyPress 2</a> will let you know when your time is up to ensure sufficient time, heat and pressure for your project. It leaves no room for error or second guessing how hot or how long to press. The evenly heated plates adheres the HTV or iron on film beautifully within 60 seconds or less! The longest I've had to press was 30 seconds. It all depends on the material you are using. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you've thought about whether or not you needed this magical device, you probably do. If it's in your budget and your crafts are iron ons, heat transfer vinyl, fabric..etc. it's the perfect addition to your crafting obsession. It makes crafting more fun and less errors and mess ups. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For years I have always been a DIYer, a crafter and enjoyed all the new gadgets that the crafting world had to offer. With so many different cutting machines out there, I always knew I <i>needed</i> (wanted) one. It was on my birthday list, my Mother's Day wish list and my Christmas list. Well, it's here, I have a new toy! After many years of eyeing the beautiful, eye catching machines at the craft stores, I now have a <a href="https://tracking.tapinfluence.com/trk/iGC5k/Kuq9G/c?p=CDadQ&i=1flG6&r=IXaJa0Dirz2OfC4p7WISwfuZ6mVZFD37%2BKJjJQXHH30%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Explore Air 2</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I binge watched hundreds of videos on You Tube to make sure I knew everything about it before it arrived. I wanted to know every trick, hack and way to get use out of every little thing this machine could do! I got so much information as well as inspiration through research and had a list of crafts I couldn't wait to start.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://tracking.tapinfluence.com/trk/iGC5k/Kuq9G/c?p=CDadQ&i=1flG6&r=3K6hpEEK0VpOY0st4Pr0Z5uBuJmlrbjWOKe15OiHT4Jxwbf3q6cETw%3D%3D" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="241" data-original-width="646" height="119" src="https://i.imgur.com/9FiO7p2.jpg?1" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I received it and immediately was in awe. I opened it and tested it out. I already loved it! Not only do I love the look of the machine, but it's just so darn cute. It makes my craft room/office that much cuter! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any cutting machine makes crafting much more fun and fast. This machine does so much I want to try it all. I've got a list of craft projects ready! I had used the Silhouette brand machines before so I wanted to compare the two. It's known as the "Smart Cutting Machine". Let's see how smart it really is. First and foremost, the Cricut Explore Air 2 is more pleasing to the eye. Plain and simple, it's cute! Size wise, they are almost the same. I love how much more quiet the Air 2 is. The design software was the biggest learning curve. It is said that the Cricut design space was supposed to be easier, more for a beginner. It took me awhile to get around it comfortably. It works like a charm. Everything is pretty standard and straight forward when cutting. Learning the different tools and how to create a design is fairly easy once you play around and practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pros:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sleek design</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bluetooth</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cutting size max 12"x24"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Precision cutting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Smart dial </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fast Mode cut</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Draw, Cut and Score feature</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Can cut over 100+ materials</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Has an iOS app (Android still in beta)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Design Space (easy for beginners)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Able to use old Cricut cartridges</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Easy to learn</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cons:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Design space slow(A bit confusing at first if you've used other software for designing)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Loud (although not as loud as other machines I've used)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course my list of pros and cons are just a few that come to mind right away. It's still a great machine and will work for any crafter. </span>If you're a beginner crafter or a long time crafter you will enjoy this machine. Just think of how much faster and how much more you can craft if you have a machine that will cut, print or score things for you. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The home of the Original Fish Taco®, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, is opening a new location in Las Vegas, Nevada. On October 10, 2019, Las Vegas residents are invited to dine at the new Rubio’s Coastal Grill, located at 7385 S. Rainbow Blvd. To celebrate the opening and give back to the community, Rubio’s will donate 50 percent of opening day sales to the Judith E. Steele Elementary School. Additionally, all guests who order an entrée on Oct. 10 at the new Rainbow Blvd. restaurant will receive a prize-filled envelope. Three lucky winners will receive free Rubio’s for a year!
Rubio’s Coastal Grill is known for popularizing the fish taco after Co-Founder Ralph Rubio brought his love of fish tacos to the U.S. after a college trip to Baja California, Mexico. Since its first restaurant opened in San Diego in 1983, Rubio’s Coastal Grill has established a passionate fan base throughout the Southwestern United States and has been touted as America’s most loved fish tacos. Cited by USA Today and Los Angeles Times as the country’s top fish taco expert, Rubio’s has sold more than 249 million Original Fish Tacos®.
With 35 years of seafood mastery, Rubio’s offers a variety of healthy grilled seafood dishes without compromising flavor and encourages eating seafood twice a week, as recommended by the American Heart Association. Using responsibly sourced seafood, the menu features bold, unique flavors in dishes ranging from the Cilantro Lime Quinoa Bowl with Grilled Mahi Mahi to the Ancho Citrus Grilled Shrimp Burrito and Grilled Wild Alaska Salmon Tacos. Healthy options, including nutrient-rich brown rice and quinoa, fresh greens with lemon agave vinaigrette, heart-healthy avocados and fresh, house-made guacamole are always available.

Summer vacation has ended and it's back to school! My boys have been back to school for 4 days now. It has been a HOT and fun filled Summer. The time has come to get back into our normal routines!<br />
One of our most memorable trips this Summer had to be our trip to the Grand Canyon. No one wanted to go, but once we got there we enjoyed it. We can finally say we've been to the Grand Canyon. Despite the heat, the sight was breathtaking. The drive into the park was beautiful and allowed you to just take in nature. No service in the park made it easy to keep the kids off their phones, be in the moment and enjoy the scenery.<br />

It seems like divine intervention that the word “dog” is God in reverse, but in all reality is it so far off the mark?<br />
<h2>
The Golden Rule</h2>
Religious organizations like <a href="https://thewaymagazine.com/">The Way International</a> remind us over and over again to be kind, to be a good person, to treat everyone as we would like to be treated. As humans, that can seem like a difficult task. If someone is rude to you, that’s a reason to be rude back, right? Well, God doesn’t think so; Matthew 5:38 - 40 reminds us to not fight evil with evil.<br />
Dogs do not have such a battle of wills. They have no moment’s hesitation: If someone is mean to them, they instinctively apologize and “turn the other cheek.” Think of the greeting you get from your dog when you walk in the door: Joy, happiness and the utmost desire for hugs and snuggles. A dog automatically will treat you as they want to be treated because they know no other way to be!<br />
<h2>
Humbling Yourself</h2>
Our true treasure is not of this world, but it can be difficult to remember this during every part of our lives. We experience envy when the neighbor gets an awesome new car, or jealousy when your sister shows off her new engagement ring. It is human nature to feel these things; <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2015/04/02/opinions/parini-what-does-holy-week-mean/index.html">Jesus Himself</a> felt every human emotion while He was on Earth as well. Scriptures like 1 John 2:15-17 acknowledge the reality of these feelings, but reminds us where to look when we’re lost.<br />
Beyond the endless loop of giving you the ball and bringing it back to you, when was the last time you saw a dog who was concerned about material things? Our canine friends want nothing more than to be with their beloved people in their safe place. Apply the humility that dogs have to their humans to our humility before God. Use that devotion as a compass to point you closer to Him.<br />
<h2>
Devotion</h2>
You know without a doubt that your dog would fight tooth and nail to protect you if someone was trying to harm you. Even play-fighting with your furry companion can make them nervous from time to time. You are their best friend in the whole world, and they want to do everything in their little doggie power to protect you and be your friend; like 2 Timothy 2:13 says, God will never stop loving us, even when our faith is lacking.<br />
Do you have that kind of devotion to God? If someone was attacking Him in public, would you stand up and fight for Him? Would you do everything you could do to protect your relationship with him, to keep your friendship with Him strong?<br />
God’s word is dog’s nature, and He put those four-legged angels on Earth to safeguard humans while He takes care of other matters. Use your dog as a guide to help you remember how to be loyal at all times.MyHappinessDeliveredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08309918350609139595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538860097553915865.post-56110070998706984292019-07-03T18:01:00.004-07:002019-07-03T18:01:59.256-07:00Easy party decor and Summer fun with Zuru Bunch O Balloons<div style="text-align: start;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's been quite a few months since I've posted on here. Life has been hectic! As a Stay at Home Mom with 2 boys, we've had school, school activities, after school activities, sports and everything in between. Our Summer was great. I posted on our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melemel635/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, more than I wrote about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Summer has ended and the school year has kicked off well. As the boys are settled in and I was back on my normal schedule, our family was faced with quite the news. We are moving to Arizona!!! No big deal, just another state, having to move, selling a house at the same time as trying to find a house. It has been quite the ride this past month and it's coming down to the wire. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I plan on getting back into the blogging as much as I can while we settle in! I get to explore a somewhat new city again. My Husband and I lived in Arizona years ago. So while it is a new city to explore, it's not unfamiliar. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stay tuned on our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melemel635/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/LifeLoveInspire" target="_blank">Facebook</a> while our lives get a little more hectic. It is just a new chapter in our lives with new experiences! See you in Arizona.....</span></div>

Though we didn't have big plans like we normally do, it was nice to just relax! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">We started Spring Break off by watching the Monster Jam World Finals XIX which is our family favorite! 2 days of Monster trucks and fun was the perfect start to a week off. We also spent a day with one of our close friends. We took the kids to Topgolf, spent a few hours playing basketball and Kameron had a sleepover. We had a MNO for a quick coffee, dessert and girl chat. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Monday was also the 2 year death anniversary of our beautiful Jamie. We visited her grave and spent a few hours with her family at their home. I know it's still a struggle for my son to mourn his friend but I have tried my best to comfort him and help him in the best way possible. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rest of our week was lowkey and relaxing. The boys played outside with the neighborhood kids, played video games with their friends and cousins and we watched movies together. I got slapped with a cold and for the first 2 days it was horrible. I'm still dealing with it but it sure did make the first 2 days unmanageable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sadly, the Hubby had to work this week, hence why we had no plans to go out of town. Easter Sunday he was finally off. We went to church and had lunch and came home to relax. He needs to relax when he can as much as possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I sit outside while typing this post, it is our last day of Spring Break. Though it wasn't our normal Spring Break madness of road trips and busy days, it was nice. It was a time for us all to enjoy our time together and not worry about where we have to be, and rushing here to there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break whether you were out vacationing or relaxing at home like we did. Tomorrow, it's back to reality!</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our Spring Break has officially begun!! 2 days of roaring engines, huge crowds, friends, family and the entire Monster Jam community all together in Las Vegas for the Monster Jam World Finals XIX is the perfect start our weekend! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our 6th year as a family watching a Monster Jam show and our 3rd year at Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas, it never seems to get old. It is an exciting day and my kids and I love it!!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite the cold, windy weather this year we made the best of it! We came prepared with beanies, jackets, blankets and sweatshirts. Total opposite of years past. The pit party was fun, as always. My boys didn't do every truck like they have done before. They only wanted to visit certain drivers and get certain autographs.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">

It was the perfect start to Spring Break. Racing night is always exciting to see all of the trucks come out to do their thing on the track. But freestyle night is what we love!! The excitement and competition on both nights are what makes the night! The comradery with all the other fans around us is what makes it such a great family event. This year during Freestyle, my 10 year old enjoyed being able to participate in voting for his favorite driver after each race. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't "Let it go"!! Disney On Ice has been a part of my life ever since I was a little girl. I have gone to these shows since I could remember. Though my boys are quickly growing I still love that I can take them to enjoy the show. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

She's a 7 year old, Disney Princess fan..what more can I say? When I told her I was taking her to the show, she was screaming with joy. She counted down the days to the night of the show. I picked her up and she was ready! Dressed in her favorite Disney Princess and screaming "Hurry up, you took forever" she didn't waste any time. Screaming and grinning from ear to ear excited for the night. The screaming didn't stop there. As soon as we got to the parking lot, she screamed. She could not stop smiling seeing all the other girls dressed like Princesses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In all Disney On Ice fashion there were kids dressed in their favorite Disney characters. I enjoyed seeing my niece smile as much as she did. Even my boys were smiling and ready for the show. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disney On Ice Follow Your Heart brings out the best in Disney characters. Everyone from Toy Story (which is my favorite) Inside Out, Nemo and Dory, to the Princesses. The story line for the show was heartfelt and I think I enjoyed it as much as my kids and my niece did. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disney On Ice will never get old for our family. It's always a show that makes us all feel like a kid again!!! It's not too late to see the Follow Your Heart show. Check out www.disneyonice.com for a show in your town.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://forthemommas.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Walmart-grocery1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://forthemommas.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Walmart-grocery1.jpg" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="800" height="169" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ok, so it's not an addiction but I sure do love the new way! I recently realized how many times a week I was going to the grocery store. I needed to figure out a way to stop making multiple trips to the store as well staying on budget. I was at least going to the grocery store, 1-2 times a week...sometimes 3! To me, it was ridiculous. I came up with the plan of doing my online grocery shopping once a week. With that, I had to plan out our meals better to know what we needed (and didn't need). Grocery shopping with 2 boys isn't always easy. I get one kid who wants to sneak in snacks, junk food and other things. Then I have another one who doesn't care and would rather be sitting at home. I for one don't enjoy grocery shopping as much as I do roaming the aisles of Target. But it has to be done, or we're screwed and don't get to eat at home. Some people would say eating out sounds better to them, and trust me there are days where I'd rather keep my kitchen clean and not cook. But reality is, it's healthier and saves us money to eat at home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I started to make a meal plan and grocery list for items we <i>needed</i>. I say needed because everyone in the family always says "we need it." Truthfully, we know how that goes. I'm guilty of it! My plan was to order groceries online via Vons.com and Amazon pantry. When I heard my local Walmart was going to start grocery pick up I was excited. Though I try not to go to Walmart too often because of the crowds, I thought this would be perfect! I sat down, made my list, downloaded the Walmart Grocery app (You can also go online) and placed my <a href="https://grocery.walmart.com/" target="_blank">order</a> to picked up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The day of pickup was simple and painless. I received an email 10 minutes before my pickup stating it was ready for pickup. I let them know I was on my way. When I pulled up the special grocery pickup parking I checked in to let them know I was there. Within 3 minutes, someone came out, knocked on my window door and asked to verify my name and started putting my groceries into my trunk for me! Ahhhmazing! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have since ordered two more times since my first experience. I have learned that you should not order if you are expecting to use everything asap or the next day. Yes, there are times when something is not available and there is no substitute for the item. If that's the case, they will refund you. So odd to say I have not stepped foot into a grocery store (with the exception of Costco) in the past 3 weeks. This is working great for my family and I. I have spent less money buying things we don't necessarily need or just want because we see that it's on sale or in front of us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now if only I could find a quick and easy way to unload groceries from the car and put them away nicely in my pantry and refrigerator.....my life would be perfect! (ha ha)</span></div>

<a href="http://www.usfamilyguide.com/blogpromos/1533/cars.comipadlogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.usfamilyguide.com/blogpromos/1533/cars.comipadlogo.jpg" data-original-height="151" data-original-width="334" height="144" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Car shopping is never fun (for me) at least. My Husband is usually the one that deals with that part. We just purchased a new car 2 years ago and leased a new car almost a year ago. We've been thinking a lot about buying a new truck. My Husband has always wanted a truck but we never seriously sat down together and thought if it was right for our family. Now that we are at that point where we want to start doing our research, we have turned to <a href="http://cars.com/">Cars.com</a> </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We've bounced around the idea of what trucks were my favorite, what was his favorite. First off, we just think trucks are <i>cool, </i>yes I said "cool". Though we don't have any toys or things to haul <b><i>yet</i></b>, we plan on it someday. The talk is Hubby wants a boat, I just want to be able to someday have a trailer to do more family camping. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At <a href="http://cars.com/">cars.com</a> it made our research easy and painless. They have a massive database of new and used cars. You choose your make and model. You choose your mileage and price and cars.com will do the work for you. You can also read many reviews and specs on the type of car you're interested in. The detailed video reviews help with seeing the interior and exterior as well as how it drives. Cars.com also has both new and <a href="https://www.cars.com/used-cars/" target="_blank">used cars</a> listed.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not interested in buying a car, but <a href="https://www.cars.com/sell/" target="_blank">selling a car</a>? Cars.com can help you with that too! You can find the value of your current car before you try to sell your own car. Cars.com helps is your first and only stop you'll need when looking for a new car or selling a car. Find all the reviews needed and get all the information comparing cars and car options. Find cars in your area, get reviews on dealers before you do any foot work outside of your house. I know that I will be on cars.com everyday finding the right truck for our family. Do your research first with <a href="http://cars.com/">cars.com</a>. </span></div>
