Disney Jr. Appisodes {review #sponsored #ad}

Disclosure as per FTC: We were invited to review their app along with 2 episodes for which we received an iTunes card that covered the cost of the episodes. All opinions in this post and video are 100% my own -except when I quote my kids.

Disney Jr. has launched a new app called Appisodes and just a couple of weeks ago it released two new interactive episodes of their popular series {and one of my kids' favorites} Doc McStuffins. We were invited to review their app along with the Doc McStuffins appisode and our choice of an additional episode -for which we chose Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

For more information and details on this great app for kids please visit Disney Jr. Appisodes app on the iTunes store.  {this is a sponsored link}.

It's raining, it's pouring... {v-log}

Yesterday was a typical day in super green Costa Rica, just as every day in winter months {rain season in Costa Rica is from May - November} it rains every single day! That's right, everyday at around noon the clouds start rolling in and somedays you get thunder and lightning at around 2:00 p.m. on others it happens closer to the evening. This makes for a big traffic jam situation or as they call it "presa" and last night was no exception... Only difference was that we were stuck for 1 hour within a mile, oh yes 1 hour! I timed it and not only that but I did a little v-log because what else can you do? ;)

Here is the very raw v-log I made last night while stuck in traffic and yes that is the rain being loud! Enjoy.... 

So what do you think? How do you like the rain?? Does it rain this much where you live?? How do you manage traffic jams?? Please share in the comments section... 

Today it is similar so I'm heading out soon to avoid this! Wish me luck... Pura Vida!

Now if you don't want to do a vlog you can write up a post about the topic/questions and link it up also. But we think you should give a vlog a try, it's lots of fun in addition readers will get to you know you even more.  ;) 

So without further ado, here are next week topic and questions.

So without further ado, here are next week topic and questions. 

Your Significant Other

Since Sunday was 12 years since Hayley and her hubby met and today is 12 years since their first date, Hayley thought why not talk about our significant others. Now we realize not everyone has a significant other, so if you don't, don't worry. We still want you to link up. Why not talk about characteristics of your future 'other' or maybe a celebrity you'd like as your 'other' or pick a topic of your choice. :)

Some questions you can use (but don't have to)

• How/when did you meet?
• Was it love at first sight?
• How long did you know each other before you started dating?
• How long before you were engaged/married?
• How did you get engaged?
• The list could go on and on. 

Hope you have fun with this one! 

If you would like to be co-host, please email Hayley at hayleyiskra@gmail.com with the subject line LET'S TALK and we will get you on the list. If you have an idea for a topic/questions please let me know in the email also.

Also here is our button for Let's Talk Vlog series. Please use this in your post that you link up. And add to your sidebar if you'd like. :)
