Risks are everywhere...but we still enjoy the #GoodLife

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Allstate for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Risks.... we all take them everyday. Most of the risks we take are small risks, but still...you never know what life will throw at you. Does that mean that we all live in fear? Nope, absolutely not. We know that if we are going to live we have to accept that there are risks, but the good far outweigh the possibility of the bad.

When those bad things do happen, we also can choose to find the silver lining in the situation. Last year, our son Luke was born. Luke's lungs collapsed and he was in the NICU for 12 days. I couldn't see him, or hold hold him since I was in another hospital for the first four days...but when that moment came it was so much sweeter and precious. I was so thrilled to see him, to hold him, and to finally feel like his mother. Through this experience we also learned what a great community we live in, and how many people really were in our wonderful network. It was a hard situation, for sure, and I hope to never have to go through that again...but we still choose to grow our family!  We won't let the risk keep us from living what we belive will be a good life!

Allstate also knows that we all live for the good life, and while we take risks when we drive, Allstate wants to be part of our good life, too.

Check out this great short video to really feel  the meaning of Allstate Good Life,

Adorable, right? And true!

The simple things in life make things wonderful, and it's great to feel that and feel content with what we all have. We can't focus on the bad, we have to focus on all of the good we all have all around us, everyday.

What's something in your good life? Has there ever been a situation that you thought was horrible, but found that something great came from it?

What's your #SocialPower ?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Social Power for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What’s a problem called before it actually becomes a problem? It’s called an issue. And a just-launched New York-based startup called Social Power is on a mission to collect and resolve important everyday issues.

The way Social Power works is simple. First, users post the most important, resolvable issues affecting them as well as others. Once a user shares that issue on the site, Social Power works to raise awareness for it within its own social network, while the issue creator does the same in his or hers.

My issue? I think that satellite companies are offering sub-par services with inflated rates because cable is not available in rural areas. I would love to see cable in more rural areas so that pressure is placed on the satellite companies to better their service. I think this would make a difference .

We will be moving to a more rural area soon... and right now we enjoy unlimited internet, at an amazing speed, as well as great reliable television- all without a contract. When we looked into satellite service for our new home we were shocked to find limited internet at a tenth of the speed we currently use, television that is not reliable, and an outragous two year contract!

What do you think? Is this an issue you would like to see worked on? Help me spread the word- support the issue, comment on the issue, and share this issue- and let's see if we can make a difference together!

Movie Time! #NetflixKids #ad

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of NETFLIX.

Netflix! Oh, how I love thee. We have been Netflix users for such a long time...I kind of wish they had your member join date, simply because I don't know HOW long, but it's been years. We used to have DVD service only, but now we are a streaming only family!

I love instant access to streaming content, and with Netflix you can watch your favorite TV shows and movies anywhere, any time you want. Netflix is available on hundreds of devices, which you probably already have at home! We have it on two of our Blu-Ray players, as well as on the laptop, and my Windows Phone and Nook Tablet! 

The Lorax, on Netflix!

Streaming is easier than you think. Download the free app on your iPad, click on the Netflix app on any gaming device or visit Netflix.com on your computer – and you’re in business. 

Recently, Neflix added the Just For Kids dedicated kids section. This kids section has family favorites appropriate for children ages 2- 12. All content is selected with help from Common Sense Media to provide ratings, reviews and information so parents can easily make choices for their kids!

One of my favorite features is the ability for the kids to pick a character. This is especially helpful for kids who can't read or spell yet. 

My kids' favorites are Oscar's Oasis, anything superhero, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Annabelle loves Tinker Belle, of course. 

What are you watching on TV with your family? Netflix has family favorites from Disney, Disney Jr., Hasbro, Cartoon Network and Dreamworks that are available to stream anytime, anywhere.

And streaming is easier than you think! Download the free app on your iPad, click on the Netflix app on any gaming device, go to the website on your computer – and you’re in business. Check it out here!
