Is it a cold? Seasonal Allergies? The bug that's been going around your office or the kids' school? Or is it COVID-19? After three and a half years of living with COVID-19 in our daily lives, I'm sure we've all had that thought run through our minds. Thanks to at-home testing, we can find out the answer fairly quickly; and with fall break travel plans coming up, I wanted to introduce you to Lucira Check It COVID-19 Tests. You can test at home before you book that flight and have the results in 30 minutes.

With the holidays
rapidly approaching, a lot of us will find ourselves out and about alone,
busily rushing from one errand to the next. Safety in parking lots is something
that I’m always aware of during the holiday hustle and bustle, but I live in an
area that can sometimes lull me into a false sense of security and I forget
some safety measures like checking my car before I get in. So when the owner of React mobile contacted
me and introduced their free safety app, I was intrigued and gladly accepted his
offer to sponsor this post because safety, not just for me, but my entire
family is a priority for everybody I know.
About
React Mobile:
React Mobile, a new free app for iPhone and Android that helps enhance personal safety. This app is well suited for families as a safety tool to help parents keep track of their kids.
How does our app work?
React Mobile helps you turn your smartphone into a
powerful lifeline. The app has a “Follow Me” feature, that let’s yourself
selected contacts track your whereabouts in real-time whenever you’re concerned
for your safety.
Perfect for running or walking alone early in the morning or
late at night, keeping track of kids, or meeting a client for the first time,
simply touch the “I’m Safe” button to let your contacts know when you’ve
arrived at your destination safely.
In an emergency, press the SOS shield
on the app to send out a panic alert containing a link to your GPS location to
select emergency contacts via text message and email, which can
optionally be posted to Facebook and Twitter. Once the SOS alert is activated,
you’re automatically prompted to dial 911.
For users outside of North America,
the app allows you to choose which country you live in (or are traveling to)
from the settings tab and when an SOS alert is triggered, you will be prompted
to dial the appropriate emergency authority depending on your geographic
location (ex: in the UK the app will prompt a user to dial 112/999 not 911).
React differentiates itself in the following ways:
React Mobile is Free and has an Automatic 911 prompt.
Follow-Me Feature - React Mobile, is a safety tool that you hope you never have to use. We differentiate ourselves by providing users with a safety enhancement feature for everyday use. Our premium “Follow-me” feature allows users to have friends and family track them in real-time. When a user is concerned for their safety but doesn’t want to escalate a potentially harmless situation, they can have their friends and family track them in real-time until they are safe.
International Support: Users
also have the ability to choose which country they are visiting (or
living in) from our settings tab and when they trigger an SOS alert they will
be prompted to dial the appropriate emergency authority depending on
where they are (ex: if they are in the UK the app will
prompt a user to dial 112 not 911).
Social Network
Integration: SOS alerts can be posted to Facebook and Twitter –
In the event of an emergency we want users to have the capability
to alert as many people as possible. We are differentiating ourselves from the competition
by offering users the option to post their emergency alerts to
Facebook and Twitter with a link to their location.
The cool Follow Me feature had me downloading the app ASAP.
This feature alone is perfect for teens and college kids!
I invite you to learn more about React mobile by visiting
their website and liking them on Facebook, then head on over to the iTunes appstore to download the free app or download the free app to your
Android via Google Play.
Please make sure you share this app with your family and friends.
It takes mere seconds to download the app that will give you and your loves
ones piece of mind and a backup plan should they ever need one.
Happy Holidays!

Family Fun at the Tennessee State Fair
in #sponsored, #Tennessee, activities, cakes, Fair, family, fun, funnel, local, racing, rides, State, traditions, by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, September 27, 2013
Disclosure : I am a member of the Tennessee State Fair's
blogger outreach program and received complimentary tickets to facilitate this
post.
Saturday, September 14th couldn’t have been more
picture perfect here in middle Tennessee. It was a warm, almost
fall day where you want to spend as much time as possible outside. Thankfully
for us, we had the Tennessee State Fair to attend.
If you haven’t been to the Tennessee State Fair in a while,
boy, are you missing out! First of all, the venue is huge with all sorts of
events to attend. The online scheduler was a handy tool for us. Still, we got
sided tracked by another event and wound up missing Hedrick’s racing pigs!
Even though we missed those cute pigs, we got to meet a real
sweet young lady and her Black Ram Yearling.

This is Savannah Williams and her ram Lovey |
She was kind enough to let me take her picture. Even Lovey
liked me and decided it would be okay for me to take a photo or two.

I think Lovey Likes us |
They went on to win first place in the Ram yearling event!
Lovey wasn’t the only animal we got to meet. There was sweet
Caesar, the softest, sweetest rabbit we've ever petted.

We love Caesar |
My youngest daughter
wanted to adopt Caesar. My oldest daughter would have settled for any of the
rabbits there. But, it wasn’t in the cards.
Next up, we walked through the calves and cows and found
ourselves in the poultry building. I can’t
remember the last time I saw so many roosters and hens and fowl of every type
in one building like this. Tennesseans showed up and brought their best animals
to the fair for our enjoyment and for a prized ribbon or two.
Here
are a few pictures of our favorites:

Finally, before the
kids burst, we went to the ride section, or Thrill zone. There were a lot of rides to choose from this
year. The Ferris wheel, a fair favorite no matter where you live,
was a must. The Tennessee State Fair placed the Ferris wheel up high on the
hill, so when you are on it, you got a beautiful 360 degree view of Nashville.

Best seat in the place- On this Ferris Wheel |
The girl’s favorite ride was Mouse House. Calm enough to take the little ones on, with
just enough twists and turns to keep it fun for the big kids and adults riding
along. My Husband loved Mega Drop and Fire Ball too. For me, my joy was in the watching all the happy people around my happy family. If life is getting you down- go to your state fair. It will take 20 years off you!
By now, we are getting hungry and thirsty and there were
tons of vendors to choose from serving up everything from corn dogs to turkey
legs and of course, funnel cakes!

Fair Food |
We rode and walked and played and laughed our way through
the day and before we knew it, the crowds slowly started switching from family
and kids to the Saturday night couples and singles vibe and we knew it was time
to head home.
We didn’t get to see the entire fair, but that’s okay. We’ll be
back next year.
As we were walking back to the car, my husband was drawn to
the sound of racing cars. They look like a lot of fun to watch, so we are
thinking of bringing the girls up to a race.
Want to join us? The dates are below.

Let's go Racing boys! |

Saturday! Has your state had it's big fair yet? Did you go? Leave a comment and give a shout out to your fair.

Reclaim your outdoor spaces with plants
in #OneKingsLane, #sponsored, gardening, outdoor, spaces, tips, by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Thank you to our sponsor One Kings Lane for providing this helpful information for me to pass along to my readers. This post contains affiliate links. However all opinions are my own and were not influenced in any way.
Outdoor entertaining is one of the great joys of summer. Until, of course, the bugs invade and have you wishing for a magic bug zapper. Tired of shooing bugs and getting bit?
Check out this handy tip:
Instead of sprays, pesticides and candles why not try a cluster of mosquito-repelling potted plants?
Grouped together near a seating area on your deck or patio, they make a pretty and lush addition to your outdoor landscape while also protecting you and your guests.
Check out One Kings Lane's article Easy Update: Mosquito-Repelling Potagerie for more information about how a trio of lush potted plants will have you saying good-bye to bug spray. Using these plants is not only pretty, but it's a quick and environmentally friendly way to reclaim your outdoor spaces.
I didn't know Catnip was more effective than DEET at repelling mosquito's, did you?
