Pickerel Frog Fragrance

Would you like to smell like a frog? I'm a bit of an indie perfume addict, and when I found out that Stereoplasm has a frog scent this month I knew I had to share it with my fellow frog lovers! Every month the company has a featured animal fragrance and the sale of the special scent benefits an animal charity.

Brian And Stewie Talk Coronavirus

We're all latching onto every moment of mirth during this pandemic, so I wanted to make sure to pass on this cute new Family Guy short where Stewie and Brian start a goofy podcast.

They discuss everything from what they've done since staying home to interviewing other characters on the show... it's less than 5 minutes long without much animation but it's funny and I think you'll enjoy it!

Girls Who Reach Menarch Can Be Married in Pakistan

Pakistan has announced that as long as a girl has experienced menarche, or her first period, she can get married in the country. As a woman who started her period at age 9 I can tell you how terrifying this is and I can't believe we're seeing laws like this on the books in 2020. It was used to justify the marriage of a Catholic teen, age 14, to a grown man under Sharia law. Her parents fought to get her back and said that since she was under 18 the marriage shouldn't be valid, but the judges said she could be married...

The Whipped Coffee Craze

The whipped coffee drink has taken the Internet by storm since its debut on a TikTok and I must admit that I've failed in its execution! In my defense, I used old instant coffee that was hard as a rock, which helped me make some really dark and foreboding sludge rather than the whipped goodness. I'll have to try again with something fresher! I also just received some golden monkfruit sweetener that I'd love to try with it.

Best Distance Games To Play

We've talked a lot about distance gaming lately and how to play with family and friends remotely, and now it seems like everyone is sharing all of their cool ideas and the best games to play via Skype, Zoom and other means. This post has 15 great games to play, like charades, 20 questions and Two Truths and a Lie, as well as a few other interesting ideas. Many do require all parties to have the game in question, but some of them could be done with one set.

Free Guitar Lessons From Fender

Have you ever wanted to play the guitar like Jerry Garcia or Bob Weir? Fender is offering free lessons online for three months while many are at home. It's such a cool and generous offer that makes me wish we had a guitar at home!

Fender is also offering 10% off guitars and amps to get you started if you need to buy one. You can pick a guitar, bass or even ukulele to learn, as well as specific songs you may wish to learn.

Watch 80s Cartoons on YouTube

When my teen was a little one, I would watch old TV shows with them on YouTube all of the time. We would watch Strawberry Shortcake, Transformers, Daivd the Gnome, Rainbow Brite... I remember how much fun it was to find these movies and share my favorites with my own kiddo. Over the years, copyright enforcement has become more strict, and you can't always find these old classic cartoons anymore.

Cool Cat Caves

It's a great time to spoil your cats if you're home with time on your hands, so why not buy, or even make, your own cat caves? Cat caves give your cat a place to snuggle up and hide, which they love to do. You might even want to arrange it somewhere high off the ground; many cats love to be as high as possible. Some of my cat caves are as high as my cabinets.

Keto Product Reviews: Maple ONE Bar and Parm Crisps

Anyone who eats low-carb knows that it's easy enough to find snacks and treats if you look hard enough or have the ingredients on hand, but it often involves a lot of prep work and cooking. Sometimes we just want to grab a snack like everyone else! So when I saw these two keto products while shopping online, I knew I had to sample them.
