Oscar’s Oasis Now on Netflix

By

This post is sponsored by Oscar's Oasis. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. When I was little, I watched cartoons like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, in which Wile E. Coyote chased the Road Runner all over the Southwest American desert. The only dialogue ever spoken in those cartoons was the "beep beep" of the Road Runner. Yet those cartoons were very entertaining! There aren't a lot of cartoons like those these days for kids. So I'm happy to discover the animated series, Oscar's Oasis by TeamTO, available to stream on Netflix. Now, my kids can enjoy cartoons like I Continue reading...

I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” #PeeHappens There are so many changes as a woman ages.  I am in my upper 40s, and since I've hit my 40s, I've noticed some new things in my life.
