I knew I was gonna like Live and Local when I saw the preview from Pure Flix.  The show is about a group of people who work together at a radio station.  Their personalities sometimes clash, but they always seem to work things out in the end.

I recently viewed the latest episode 3 titled Totally Inoffensive.  It was pretty funny.  Tommy is set in his ways, and decides he’s going to ignore the new changes made by Jerry.  In the mean time, Tina, who is filled with energy, tries to bring more life to the station.

Personalities are so different, but together they work. 

I love this show and the way it lifts me up when I watch it.  It teaches me how people can work together to overcome obstacles, and also makes me laugh. It has a great group of actors including Dave Coulier (Joey from Full House) who has always been a favorite of mine.

5 Essential Precautions to Ensure You’re Family is Safe and Happy No Matter What

In an uncertain world, creating a safe space for your family is vital. Unfortunately, with so much chaos and unpredictability, you might feel like there is no way to ensure the happiness and safety of your loved ones. However, with some forward-thinking and careful preparation, you can create a safe and comfortable home for your family. By following these five precautions, you can create an environment where your family will be happy and secure all year round.

 

Create a safe environment for your kids

As a parent, you should always make your children’s safety. Children are naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them. For this reason, it is essential to take extra precautions to prevent your children from accessing dangerous areas of your home. This includes securing the kitchen; be sure to keep all toxic and hazardous chemicals out of reach of your children. You should also create a mentally safe environment for your children, providing them with outlets to express themselves and being someone they can talk to about their worries.  Doing this can help ensure your children’s emotional security and help them become the best they can possibly be.

Be sure you’re protected financially

In addition to making sure that your home is secure, it’s essential to ensure you have the financial coverage you need. This includes having sufficient auto insurance in case of an accident and ensuring that you have enough liability insurance to protect you if your negligence harms someone else. It’s also essential to have sufficient health insurance coverage. This will allow you to see a doctor if you or a family member becomes ill. 

 

Stay in touch with loved ones

To further strengthen your emotional connections and emotional stability, be sure to make time to stay in touch with your loved ones. This includes talking with friends and family members regularly. If you have a loved one who lives in a different city or country, extend an invitation for them to visit. This will help to create a sense of togetherness and help you avoid feeling isolated. It’s also essential to stay in touch with your neighbors. You can do this by making invitations to holiday parties or hosting a gift exchange with your neighbors. By visiting your neighbors and loved ones, you can help avoid feelings of loneliness and isolation. This will also help you to feel more connected to the people and neighborhood around you.

 

Ensure your home is secure

When setting up your home or rearranging its layout, ensure it is as secure as possible. This includes using all standard home security features, like deadbolts and door chains. Additionally, it’s a good idea to keep indoor plants pruned to avoid overgrowth. This way, they won’t be able to obscure the windows and doors. Also, keep items such as extension cords and Christmas trees off the floor as you set up your decorations. This will help to avoid the risk of tripping. Finally, ensure your family members know not to open the door to anyone they don’t know or don’t feel comfortable with. This includes persons claiming to be utility workers. Utility workers in your area will have identification, so there is no need to let someone in who does not have ID on them.

 

Consult with lawyers in case of legal troubles

Many people take precautions to ensure their loved ones are safe and secure. However, it’s important to remember that things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes, you may have legal troubles that will threaten your family’s safety and happiness. For this reason, it’s a good idea to be sure that you have a lawyer on hand that you can call if necessary. This way, you are prepared for any legal troubles that come your way and can focus on enjoying the season. It’s important to note that whether you require a personal injury lawyer, a family law lawyer, a criminal defense lawyer, or something else, it is best to seek a lawyer sooner rather than later. This is because the sooner you contact a lawyer, the more time they will have to work on your case. In addition, this will give you a better chance of receiving a positive outcome.  You should also ensure that the lawyers you choose are reliable and knowledgeable about their specific field. For example, you could look into lawyers such as Sitkoff & Hanrahan, LLP, if you were interested in consulting with lawyers based in criminal defense.

4 Tips to Have More Fun in Your Workout Routine

tabbyspantry

When it comes to working out, there are times when you may not be feeling it, right? Well, when it comes to health, it’s more of a mental challenge rather than a physical challenge, and that’s just the truth. But, having fun can honestly make things far better. So, here are some helpful tips to get you to have the time of your life while you’re working out!

Image credit

Be realistic about what you can do

When you’re setting up a workout routine for you that’s fun, you’re going to have to be realistic with yourself. Don’t be afraid to be upfront with yourself. Sure, rock climbing sounds fun, but is it something you’re going to enjoy? If you’re wanting to try incorporating heat in your workouts at HOTWORX, will this be something you can tolerate? Do you like heat when you work out or want to be as cold as possible? Ask yourself these questions, it is vital!

Create a routine that works for you

There are more than enough things that can harm your health, but getting bored of taking care of yourself can be a big factor. Sure, taking care of yourself isn’t exactly meant to be fun, but having that “oomph” in your life just makes things all the better and far more tolerable, right? But, when it comes to creating a routine, it doesn’t mean you need to do the same thing every day, you don’t even need to do the same thing every week if you’re not wanting to! 

So instead, why just not mix it up a bit? You can add swimming once a week, getting on a trampoline every other week, maybe a bike ride on weekends? What is going to work for you? What will make you feel as if you’re having a lot of fun? This really matters, and it is super crucial you think about this.

Make sure that it’s not too hard or too easy

If your workout is too hard you’re going to have a fairly bad time, but if it is too easy, you may have a bad time either. It can be hard to find that medium ground, so it will take time. But sports may be a good medium if that’s something you’re interested in. Basically, nobody is good at sports when first starting out. Plus, even once you’re good at it, the competitive spirit of it all just makes it all the more fun. So this could be a suggestion!

Find a group of people who share the same goals and have fun with them

Sometimes, all it takes is the right people to work out with. This can be a class, friends, your partner, or even your kids! But of course, if you’re the type that would much rather work out alone, then by all means do that. But having a workout partner can be great as they can double as an accountability partner as well. Overall, it matters most that you’re having fun in what you do, so whether this is with or without people is up to you and how you prefer to go about it.

Some Unique Ways To Prepare & Eat Beef

tabbyspantry 1 Comment

You might find yourself thinking that you already know beef like the back of your hand. It is, after all, a very common food, one of the most widely-eaten around the world in fact, and there is a good chance that you eat it every week, more or less. If you are like most home cooks, you have your own beef dishes that you enjoy cooking every now and then, and you’ve probably become used to cooking in these ways over time.

 

However, the problem with that is that it can become all too easy to get stuck in your ways, and before you know it you might find that you are not really creating the most delicious possible beef dishes you can. In this post, therefore, we are going to help you out by looking at some of the unique and delicious ways you can prepare beef. All of these are worth trying out.

Braising

 

You might never have braised beef before, but it is a method of cooking meat that can be amazing, in part because it tends to do very little to the product itself, and it has a way of holding in the meat’s natural juices. It is therefore perfect for something like beef, which is normally quite lean and which can be easy to overcook.

 

To braise beef, you are going to want to use lower temperatures and longer cooking times. This will help to make it moist and tender, and allow the proteins to develop more completely, allowing for more flavor in each bite. You have probably done this if you have ever done a pot roast, and it’s actually a great way to prepare beef in general. To make it as delicious as possible, consider using a slow-cooker, and make sure you use the right kind of beef, braising beef or chuck meat ideally.

 

Stir-Frying

 

A good stir-fry can be a delicious thing indeed, and it’s the kind of process that you are going to need to learn how to do right. Stir-frying beef is a careful process, because as we have said already, it’s possible to overcook beef very easily. However, on the whole this is one of the quickest methods for cooking beef, and one that allows you to introduce a lot of flavors very easily too. Sirloin makes a good choice for stir-frying, but you should make sure that you slice it up as thinly as possible so that it doesn’t become rubbery from frying.

 

Again, the great joy here is that you can put all sorts of flavor with the beef in a stir-fry, including any Asian tastes that you might be keen on including. It’s up to you, and it’s the kind of cooking process where you can use your imagination and creativity, and come up with some truly amazing results. You might be surprised at how easily and effectively you can do this, and it’s one of those things that you are definitely going to want to think about.

Picanha Steaks

 

Of course, one of the favorite ways to prepare beef around the world is the steak. There are a lot of kinds of steak out there, and part of the joy is trying out as many of them as possible. Some of them are very well known, such as your rumps and sirloins, and others are much less so. One of the lesser-known steak types is probably the picanha, which is a Latin American form of steak that might otherwise be known as the round, in other words from the back part of the animal.

 

You can cook it in whatever way you would normally cook your steak, but the point is that a picanha cut steak tends to hold a lot more flavor in it, owing to the slightly higher fat content. So it’s something to consider if you are after a new way to prepare your beef.

Ground

 

Ground beef can be used in a lot of ways, and it’s one of the most versatile means of eating and preparing beef. With ground beef you have the option of creating your own burgers, or making any dish that you might need to fry mince in, such as a bolognese recipe or anything of the sort. This is very common, but to make it even more delicious you can simply ground the beef yourself at home. This makes it fresher and enables it to pack more of a punch when you go to cook it.

It’s Not Impossible To Get The Kids To Love Cooking Too!

tabbyspantry

Getting kids into the kitchen to learn some excellent life skills is tricky. This is home, not school, and that can make motivating them to learn quite hard! But did you know it’s not impossible to change that? Sure, you already love cooking, but the kids are totally indifferent to it – they just love getting to eat what you lay on the table afterwards! But even for the most stubborn of children, it’s actually completely possible to get them to love cooking as much as you do. Here’s how to encourage their passion for food.

There are No Mistakes in the Kitchen!

 

Kids love to learn, but they can often be put off by being told they’ve done something wrong. But in the kitchen, there are no mistakes! It’s just learning how not to do something, and creating something much more tasty next time you try. So make sure you’re encouraging your kids with this in mind. Having a good time while cooking can be done, especially if they make a mess and get their hands all sticky. 

 

Start with the Sweet Stuff

 

Kids tend to have a natural sweet tooth, and you can employ this to full effect in the kitchen. Entice them to get involved with a bit of sugar and spice and everything nice; you can save the savory and/or ‘healthy’ meals until later! So get them working doughnut dough and dusting cake sponges. And if the kids love chocolate, you can learn how to make s’mores with them; go through the process together and show them that eating is not the only fun part – creating is too! 

 

Buy Cooking Equipment Just for Them

 

Cooking equipment is immensely satisfying to buy and use as an adult, but for kids, it’s just another boring chore they don’t want to get involved in. So buy them some items to use that are more colorful and fun! A spatula with cartoons on it, cookie cutters of their favorite TV characters, and knives and forks with their names on – if it’s specifically theirs, they’ll be inclined to use it a lot more often. 

 

Make the Cleanup Fun Too

 

Now you’ve cooked and eaten, it’s time to clean up, a.k.a., the most boring part of the whole process. But you can turn this idea on its head as well and make wiping up and washing up a lot more fun! Turn it into a game of who can create the most bubbles out of the soap, or who can sweep the flour into a pile the fastest. Hand out something like gold cooking stars to the winner and even come up with a small treat for the most stars at the end of the week! 

 

If your kids don’t take part in the cooking of their meals, show them how fun and satisfying the process can be. All you need are a few sweet flavours and some funny and cute equipment to draw them in!

Make Your Bed Time Routine Your Own

tabbyspantry

Tis is a sponsored post with GhostBed all opinions are our own.

Picture Credit 

We have all heard when you have kids make sure to have a bed time routine. What a lot of people forget is that Bed Time Routines are not just for kids.  If you have your own routine your nights sleep will also be easier.

 

Little guy has a very specific routine.  With him also being Autistic he is very picky about what is done and when and he knows if something is missing. He has always had his own way of doing things and even though it took a few years to get it perfect for him we now have it down.  His bed was hard for us to get right did he need a full or King we had to do a little research. What would be the right amount of space.  We went with a full as to not take up the whole room.  It has enough space for him to move around and grow.  The bed was a biggie for us,  He has very sensitive skin and he needed something soft and comfy.  The cheep little kids beds never worked for us even though they were cute.

For little guy we start off with a snack.  We eat dinner early so he gets a snack after dinner which has been the same for years Cheeze-Its and  snack size kit-kat with his tea. He gets to finish his video and then we have a bathroom break.  Then we tuck him in and get him a cold water.  This does not seem like a lot but the routine it’s self has helped him set his mind to sleep mode.  If we miss one step the night is lost.

 

Hubby and I also have our own routine. I always make sure our bed is made every morning.  Starting the night off with a clean and put together bed is a must for us.  We like to go to bed early and watch a show together while having our tea and sometimes a snack.  I love laying in bed and zoning out on our shows and it makes sure no matter what is going on in the day we have some time to relax together and catch up on life.

The dogs even have their own routine.  They head to bed with us and hang out then at 9 every night they get a night night goodie and they cuddle in bed and they are out within a few minutes.  The dogs know their routine so well if you are even a few minutes late they will be gone and you will find them next to the goodie bucket just staring.

Everyone’s bed time routine will be different.  I have never meet anyone who has the same routine.  The point of the routine is to get your mind to a place where it can relax and you can fall asleep early. Sleep is one of the most important things.  I know if I don’t get enough I am on edge and a little lost all day long. Everything having to do with sleep in our house is carefully picked out from the pillow to the mattress to the sheets.  This is the time of day I look forward to we want to make it perfect as much as we can.

Awesome Summer Time Finds

tabbyspantry

We got these products free in exchange for an honest post.  All opinions are our own.

 

I love summer time.  I finally get to defrost from the cold winter months.  We love spending our days in the sun and we have found some great products to make summer better.

 

Ear Pro

This year my parents got a poo.  My son loves it but his ears are always hurting after.  I thought there would be nothing we could do about it till Ear Pro came along.  It is amazing it works like a dream for him and there have been no side effects.  I will be keeping this on hand forever. Ear Pro is like sunscreen for your ears that repels water. Yes, the water does come in, but Ear Pro prevents water from being “stuck” in your ears (which is the reason for ear infections). It is to be used BEFORE water activities and should be reapplied every 2 hours or every next time you go to the water. It doesn’t block hearing or impact your balance. It’s easy and quick to use.

Small Town Cultures

Cori Deans understands firsthand just how debilitating digestive issues can be. So when Cori founded Small Town Cultures after fighting her autoimmune disease by filling her gut with good bacteria from raw fermented foods, she knew she could help more people with the probiotic food brand. Being a mother, Cori knows how important it is to introduce healthy foods to children and how to encourage trying those new foods in a fun way. She kept picky eaters in mind when designing the small batch, plant-based foods recycled glass packaging. With bright colorful raw fermented food in transparent containers, kids can get excited about adding some colors from the rainbow to their favorite dishes including sliced jalapeños, cardamom beets, turmeric kimchi, spicy radish, Meyer lemon, and more. Crafted in Keene, New York, using mountain water from the Adirondacks, all clean offerings are made without vinegar or sugar and no additives nor preservatives. The products are gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and keto-friendly, accommodating just about every diet. Available at Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market, health food stores and independent retailers throughout the North East as well as online at mouth.com and nopigneva.com

 

Star Water

I have to admit I do not drink as much water as I should.  I really do try, but I need something with flavor.  I love that the Star Water is still giving me my water I need everyday with a touch of flavor.  The Root beer is my favorite and I could drink it all day long.  They have a few different flavors to choose from and they all taste great.  I love the little cans because they don’t have time to get warm in this Arizona heat. Starryside is a new natural food and beverage brand making snacks and drinks for kids to help quench curiosity and feed imagination is announcing the launch of their first product – Star Water. Star Water is an organic, immunity-boosting beverage for kids, in three flavors: Rockin’ Root Beer, Beachy Peachy Strawberry, and Magical Mango Pineapple. All three products are fortified with vitamins C, D, and Zinc to support immunity, and contain 0 grams of sugar, 0 calories, and 0% juice. Finally, a better-for-you kids drink with all the flavor, function, and fun that parents and kids crave.

TheraICE RX Headache Relief Cap

OMG yes,  even if you do not get headache’s often get this baby.  It is amazing and really cools you down.  It fits perfect and really brings down my temp on days I over heat.

Living in Arizona your hair can go nuts.  You never know what the weather will be and having the  Little Moroccan comb can make a huge difference.  I love that it fits right inside my purse and when my hair goes a frizzy mess this comb works like a dream to calm it down.  Little Moroccan Things ® strives to reuse these materials which would have otherwise gone to waste. These sustainable combs reduce hair static and can be used alongside a blow dryer. Naturally rich in keratin, these combs are a great protective tool for the most fragile and frizzy hair.

 

Treatibles

What would a summer time guide be without something for our furry friends.  Our puppies loved the Treatibles.   I love that I am giving them a goodie they love that also has some essential vitamins in it they need. Omega-3 can provide powerful health benefits for pets, including helping with arthritis by reducing inflammation, strengthening the immune system, and reducing anxiety, depression and hyperactivity.
