Of all of the experiences we have had this summer, this was by far my son's favorite. I am so very happy that I stumbled upon this Challenger Sports British Soccer Camp . They taught my son skills he had never learned before and I even heard one of the other mom's state that her son learned more in ONE DAY at this camp than 6 weeks in a soccer league at a local community center. Now that is impressive! The size of the groups are perfect for individual attention and the coaches really know what they are talking about and are so talented. My son's coach, Coach Mike, was from Ireland and so good with the kids. He made the whole experience fun for them by playing different games that little did they know were enhancing their soccer skills. My son absolutely adored his coach and even made him a picture of the whole team. I can't say enough positive things about the experience my son had. I was so very much impressed with everything about it.  My so...

*I received these games for free from Tryazon to share and review. All opinions are 100% my own. Game night is something my family and I look forward to and do at least every two weeks! It is even more fun when you have a BBQ and a pool party and involve games. I had never previously heard of RoosterFin but when I was accepted by Tryazon to throw a RoosterFin Game Night we were thrilled! We invited our church Bible study group over for a BBQ/game night and enjoyed the pool as well. The games went over quite well though I found that mostly younger kids enjoyed them more than adults did. In my opinion, these are great for families.  For our party, I set out the games, the flyers and the coupons so people could look them over. I introduced them to RoosterFin and told them a little about Tryazon and why I had these products. While the men grilled the women played a few of the games. PongCano was a favorite and super funny to watch! The kids really enjoyed Monkeys ...

While I have received compensation for this post from Fertility Planit , all opinions are my own. Trying to Conceive (TTC) can be a very difficult time for some couples. For myself and my husband, Lawrence, it has been full of ups and downs. It can be a lonely time, where it feels like no one else has ever lived the pain and disappointment. Well I am here to tell you that you aren't alone. Our Story Lawrence and I had our son in 2010. He was not a planned child but a very welcome blessing. When he was about 2 and a half years old we decided it was time to try for another baby. We were excited to try as we had never done that before. The first month we tried, we got pregnant. I was ecstatic because I thought it would take a lot longer than one month of TTC. We started planning and I made my first appointment with the doctor and we thought we were all set in completing our family. Boy, were we wrong. By week 6 and a half of my pregnancy I was at work and I st...
