Spring Cleaning Checklist

School gets out in less than one week for our kids so I am scrambling to get some deep cleaning done before they are home for the Summer. It's amazing how fast things can pile up! I started the day intending on switching out all of our closets from Winter to Summer and I barely got our two youngest sons done, let alone the rest of the family. I had one bag sitting next to me labeled "donate" one labeled "store" and the other labeled "trash." I couldn't believe how many clothes we have to donate between the two of them. Kids sure grow fast. So now that I got their closet done, I decided to go ahead and do the rest of their room while I am at it. I found an awesome printable spring cleaning checklist and I am going to do one room a day for the next week so hopefully I can get a good part of the house done before school lets out for Summer. Here is a good list to help get you started! Some of these things are not things I normally think about while cleaning so this is a good list to keep around! 

*Swap heavy bedding for lighter, cooler choices

*Flip mattresses to evenly distribute wear

*Clean pillows (most are machine washable but double check to be sure first)

*Discard expired beauty supplies

*Update your first-aid kit

*Swap out winter clothes for summer clothes

*Clean ceilings and walls, sweeping down cobwebs and debris and washing walls with all-purpose cleaner

*Scrub outdoor surfaces and kill mildew with 1 part oxygen bleach to 3 parts water using a deck brush

*Consider  professional rug cleaning to get your carpets nice and clean

*Clean windows during a time when the sun is not shining directly on the windows. 1 part white vinegar and 1 part hot water is a great window cleaning solution

What's your least favorite chore?

Take on Allergy Season This Year with the AP170W Air Purifier from Luma Comfort

Allergy season is in full swing here in the cornfields of rural Ohio where we call home and from the looks of things, it's going to be a long, hard season. My alerts have been going off daily signifying high pollen counts which means pretty much miserable conditions for our family, especially our 11 year old son. He definitely has the worst of the allergy problems in our family so this time of year is really hard for him. He plays outdoor sports which compounds his issues so our home really needs to be a place where he can come and enjoy clean, pollen-free air as often as possible. We have tried pretty much every remedy you can imagine to help relieve his allergy symptoms but we don't like to continuously give him medicine so we have been trying to take on a better, more holistic approach. This is why I was really thrilled when Luma Comfort sent us their AP170W Air Purifier for review! 

At first glance, I was already impressed with the air purifier. It's sleek and compact so it fits in with any room or decor. I already knew we were going to put it in our son's bedroom, as it is recommended for rooms up to 170 square feet which makes it perfect for a bedroom or small office. 

The air purifier arrived pretty much ready to use. I just had to take the cover off and open up the filters and then put them back inside. It was super easy to do and within minutes, we were ready to operate. I especially like that the air purifier has a SmartClean indicator which lets us know when the filters need to be replaced. This innovative machine captures over 99% of common airborne pollutants like dust, dander, mold, bacteria, and chemicals. The AP170W comes with an advanced 5-stage filtration system that includes a carbon pre-filter, HEPA filter, VOC filter, TiO2 filter and UV light. 

After only a few days of use, I have to tell you what a difference we have seen. First of all, you can feel the difference in the air when you go from the other part of the house into our son's bedroom. The air feels lighter, cleaner and easier to breathe. As a matter of fact, after the very first night of sleeping with the AP170W in his bedroom, our son woke up and said for the first time in as long as he can remember, he woke up without a stuffy nose.  I also noted this morning that his eyes were not red and bloodshot and he seemed more rested. When I asked him what he thought about the air purifier, he told me how good he felt but also, how he likes how easy the machine is to use. He is just a kid so we wouldn't want anything too complicated that he would have to operate and this air purifier could not get any simpler. It has three fan speeds and you can set it on a timer so it doesn't continuously run.  You can set it to run from 1-7 hours at a time which is great. He runs it pretty much continuously at nighttime but then while he is gone during the day to school, we can either turn it off or just have it run for a shorter time. I also like that you just touch it to change the settings so we don't have to worry about the kids twisting off knobs. 

If you suffer from allergies or are just in search of healthier, cleaner air in your home, I would recommend the AP170W Air Purifer from Luma Comfort any day of the week! Check out their website at LumaComfort.Com for more info or check out the Where To Buy to find one of your own! The suggested retail is around $179.99! 

GIVEAWAY

One lucky winner is going to receive their own AP170W Air Purifier!

Finding the Right Film For Both Mother and Children This Summer

No matter what age you are, deciding on the right film is never simple or easy. Fortunately, as the parent, you often have the last and final word. With this in mind, the new Epic trailer is showing promise as potentially being the one film which is due out this year that is genuinely suitable for everyone; the perfect chance to offer something the entire family can agree upon and enjoy.

A first look

A trailer is only a quick look, of course, but if it’s anything to go by, Epic has a lot to offer. At its core, it’s a story between good and evil, something that children of all ages can understand and get behind. Yet it’s also set in an incredible setting, where the idea of scale is turned on its head in a world full of tiny magical creatures. 

It’s a unique gimmick that gives Epic plenty of appeal. Everything looks fantastic, and there is plenty of depth and design that has gone into making the film. It’s bright, vibrant and sure to appeal to younger audiences. Yet this is still a family film at its heart. Produced by the makers of Ice Age, it doesn't look like Epic is purely aesthetically appealing either; there seems to be plenty of action and well thought-out drama too. This is important, because it’s all too easy to get bored at the cinema when watching a film primarily aimed at younger children. If you're a parent, you want something that’s going to keep you watching too. 

Fortunately, Epic has plenty to offer. The trailer only teases so much, with acting talent such as Colin Farrell and Amanda Seyfried providing vocals. The trailer also shows action, tension and various comedic elements. In short, it hits a variety of factors that make it one of the best options for the family this summer. A lot of work has clearly gone into this family-friendly film to ensure there's a little something for everyone when it hits cinemas in May.

Power Your Summer: A Review of the Ryobi RYI 2200 Watt Generator Inverter

It's getting warmer out and with warmer weather comes the threat of severe weather. Storms have the potential to cause serious issues including property damage, physical injuries and power outages. Prolonged power outages can cause so many issues. Last year we experienced a power outage that lasted over two days. We lived in the country and we were at the bottom of the priority list for getting power restored. It was the middle of Summer and it was so hot outside. We had a refrigerator full of food and a freshly stocked deep freezer as well and sadly, we lost everything. It was almost unbearable living conditions having no electric or running water and we were really lost! We recently bought a new home and it has a basement which is a blessing and a curse. While we now have somewhere to take shelter when a bad storm does strike, if we lose power, the sump pump quits working which ultimately leads to a flooded basement.  This year, we are prepared for whatever adventure the Summer brings because we just received the Ryobi 2200 Digital Inverter Generator!

No matter what your needs, the Ryobi 2200 Watt Inverter Generator is ready to perform. The quiet engine makes it the perfect choice whether you are at the ballpark, camping out or at home. It boasts of 2200 starting watts and 1800 running watts and is safe for just about any electronic device. As a huge plus, it is also parallel-kit capable so you can link two Ryobi Inverters together for twice the power for bigger jobs . Also featured is the idle-down technology for better fuel efficiency. The 3 year warranty is just the icing on the cake. 

Like all Ryobi products, I was really impressed with this generator. It's compact and much lighter than other generators I am familiar with. The pull-out handle makes it so convenient too. It's important to me that my wife be able to use the generator as well. I work every other weekend so she is often on the go with the kids by herself. I am fully confident that she can safely and easily operate the Ryobi generator if the need ever arises and that gives me some much needed peace of mind.

A lot of people have a hard time justifying the expense of a generator because they think generators are only for when we lose power.  That's what I always thought until our children got older and we started attending sporting events on a regular basis. If you like to tailgate, a generator is a lifesaver! Our boys play in out of town baseball and soccer tournaments on a regular basis and tailgating with the rest of the team is so fun. With the Ryobi portable generator, we can enjoy the ultimate tailgating experience! 

Our Little League team recently had a practice at a new field where we don't usually play.  After we all showed up for practice, we realized there was nowhere to plug our pitching machine in. That's when I remembered the Ryobi Generator! We live near the field so I just ran home and grabbed the generator and it literally saved our practice (and my arm!) 

. 

Similar generators can be found for up to $1500 on todays market but the RYI 2200 is just $599. When you look at the endless possibilities on the amazing fun you can have this Summer with this product, it's priceless! Hurry over to your local Home Depot or go to HomeDepot.Com to pick yours up today! 

GIVEAWAY

Ryobi has generously offered to give one lucky reader their own 2200 Watt Generator/Inverter!

How to Teach Your Kids The Value of Money

Without guidance, children aren’t going to know what to do with money. You don’t want to raise children who grow up not knowing the value of a dollar. Instead, you can employ some of these simple tricks to teach your kids about valuing money. Once your child has established a responsible relationship with money, you’ll know they’re adequately equipped for the real world.

1. Start early. It’s important to start talking to your children about money as early as possible. In fact, the Institute of Consumer Financial Education’s Executive Director, Paul Richard, suggests, “As soon as children can count, introduce them to money. Take an active role because repetition and observing others are the two methods they learn by.”

2. Teach Responsibility. It’s important to teach kids financial responsibility. This may require switching from credit to a cash basis. It’s difficult for children to understand how debit and credit cards work. In fact, they may think there’s an endless supply of money in the bank. When you use cash, they’ll know it’s not endless and can run out.

3. Be a good role model. It’s important to have healthy spending habits, when you’re attempting to teach healthy spending habits. If you’re taking your child shopping, consider teaching them about coupons and other money-saving tricks. If they’re interested in a new wristband, help them search for a cheap wristbands coupon.

4. Set goals. If you want to get your kids saving money, you’ll want to talk to them about their goals. Your kid may receive a dollar and want to spend it immediately on a candy bar. You know your child has been asking for a new video game console for quite a while. This is the perfect time to tell them how many months it would take them to save for this console and set them up with a savings account or piggy bank.

5. Take a trip to the bank. Banks can be very educational for children. It’s a great place to talk to financial experts and get your children thinking about their futures. While at the bank, set your child up with a new savings account. Keep an open dialog with your child, allowing them to express openly what they’re hoping to spend their money on and how long they plan to save it. This is also a great time to explain interest rates.

6. Take children shopping. It’s important to take your children shopping for all different sorts of things. Let your kids know these are expenses they’ll also be responsible for paying for. Employ money-saving tricks, like coupons, to show them how you can make smart money choices too. Be honest about the family’s finances, by letting your child know when an item is simply too expensive. Even when shopping at the hardware store, you’ll want you kids along as well. Show them how they can employ the use of Home Decorators Collection promo codes to save big on home goods.

The Bottom Line

Money management is fundamental for a quality life. No parent wants to worry their child is going to make poor money decisions later in life. In order to ensure your kid has a successful future, you need to educate and motivate your child to make the right choices when it comes to their money. 

Nurse in Comfort and Style with the Mombo Nursing Pillow #Mombo

This post brought to you by Comfort and Harmony. All opinions are 100% mine.

Having nursed all four of our children when they were babies, nobody knows the importance of a good nursing pillow like I do. I was still in the hospital with our firstborn when my wonderful husband went and purchased me one as a surprise after watching me struggle to breastfeed our son.  That was eleven years ago and while it was a great product, there were features missing that I would have loved it to have had. Thankfully, now more the a decade later, I have the mombo nursing pillow and I don't know how I ever nursed four children without it!I 

I recently received a Mombo nursing pillow in the greatest pastel green color. It is perfect for a boy or a girl and I loved the print on both sides.  My favorite part was that it was ready to use right out of the package. I was also able to quickly and easily insert the removable vibration unit which was a plus. The Mombo Nursing Pillow is the only product of its kind with this vibration feature which is a relaxing and soothing way to help babies relax and calm down. 

I made a video so you can see some of my favorite features of the Mombo and you can see why I think it's the best nursing pillow on the market today! I love the double sided, Firm2Soft technology that allows you to use the firm side for nursing and the softer side for lounging. I still have bad memories of breastfeeding my babies and my arms falling asleep. This is not a problem with the Mombo! It gives awesome support so your baby can lay securely on the pillow with plenty of support. 

Hurry over to Babies R Us and pick up one of the many patterns and prints available. You will love the different options available and you and your baby both will appreciate everything thist awesome nursing pillow has to offer. 

Be sure to connect with Comfort & Harmony on Facebook and follow Comfort & Harmony on Twitter! 

Preparing for Summer With The Best Pressure Washer On The Market

The weather outside is starting to change which means we will be spending much more time outdoors in the coming months. I am the kind of person who likes to have the outside of my house looking just as nice as the inside because it's where I spend most of my time in the Summer. I also live in a very competitive neighborhood where it seems that there is a competition going on as to how many times one person can mow their grass in one week. It's hard to keep up with these older retired guys but I am doing a good job of holding my own. The neighbor across the street might have the greenest grass for now, but I definitely have the cleanest and nicest looking sidewalks, driveway, and everything else you can see. Why? Because I just got my hands on one of the "Must Have" products on the market right now, the Ryobi Pressure Washer. 

You will rarely see me brag up a product. It has to be a pretty amazing find before I will even bring something like a pressure washer up in a conversation. The Pressure Washer from Ryobi is one of those products. The pressure washer from Ryobi features an easy-start 187 cc GCV190 Honda Gasoline Engine. Its "Idle Down" technology decreases fuel consumption, increases runtime and runs up to 40% quieter when the trigger is released.  One of the most notable features that I love is the 5-in-1 nozzle. Most pressure washers have removable attachments to change the way it sprays. The Ryobi pressure washer features a tip that you just turn and it changes to one of the five different stream settings. It also features the 25' PowerFlexTM Ultra Flexible High Pressure Hose and a longer lasting, maintenance-free aluminum head pump. 

We bought a house last fall and the back patio area is great but definitely needed a good cleaning. It was in pretty rough shape and washing it down with the regular garden hose just wasn't yielding very good results. I had extremely high hopes that the Ryobi Pressure Washer was going to pull through and do the job but I never could have imagined just how fantastic it would really be. 

This is our back patio area before we pressure washed it. 

As I started using the pressure washer, I couldn't believe what I was seeing right before my eyes. The bricks were actually a nice red color which really compliments the color of our house. You could see the difference right away and I was blown away. 

It didn't take long at all and the result was a beautiful patio area that we can enjoy all Summer long! 

After seeing this, I couldn't stop myself. Over the course of the past week, I have pressure washed nearly everything you can think of and family members are now making requests that I make house calls with the Ryobi Pressure Washer so they can see it in action. The below picture is an area off of our back patio. The darker spots is where I had not used the pressure washer yet. The difference to me is just awesome. I still can't believe how well the Ryobi Pressure Washer really does work. I have seen a lot of pressure washers in action and never have I seen one that works like this. 

Ladies, Father's Day is next month. If you want to really make that special Dad in your life happy, take it from me. He will love and appreciate you SO much more for getting him something that he can not only use but that he will love too! Check them out for yourself on their website or at Home Depot.

Be sure to check out the Ryobi Facebook page where they have an awesome sweepstakes! 3 winners will be chosen weekly so your chances of winning is even better!

All New Gotz Line of Baby Dolls from HABA

I grew up with three sisters so baby dolls were abundant in our house. I often thought of getting older and having a little girl of my own so I could spoil her with all of the baby dolls she could ever dream of having. When Emma was born, I was elated and she had her first baby doll before she ever even made her grand entrance into this world. Even now as she gets older, it makes me SO happy when I walk into her room and see her playing with dolls instead of on some electronic device. This is why I was thrilled to learn about the Gotz Line from HABA! Gotz, the beloved luxury German doll maker, now has products available in the U.S. with the most extensive assortment of Gotz dolls and accessories that we have ever seen. 

First of all, I love the story on this fantastic brand.  In 1950, Marianne Gotz handcrafted dolls while her husband, Frank, would sell them from a wagon that he pulled with his bike.  Six decades later, the second generation of Gotz family members is running the show and now they have teamed up with Haba to sell their products to American children aged 3 and up. For generations, Gotz dolls have been known for their extraordinary hair, sculptured faces, trendy clothing and soft fabric or vinyl bodies.  Their superior quality and design remains a favorite of doll lovers and collectors today. 

One of our favorite features of the Gotz dolls is that their hair can be washed, styled and brushed just like their owner's hair. I think this is why the Gotz dolls are appealing to older girls just as much as they are to younger girls. Our daughter absolutely loves styling her doll, Muffin's, hair! You can probably imagine her excitement as well when I shared with her that there was a YouTube Channel from HABA where she could learn some super cute techniques for fixing her doll's hair from everything from braids to cornrows! 

Our other favorite feature is that you can actually put these dolls in the washing machine when a spot treatment just won't do the trick. (All except the standing dolls which should not be washed this way because of their size) If little Muffin gets a little too dirty, we can just toss her in a pillowcase, wash her in cold water on the delicate cycle and then lay her flat to dry. They also have their Aquinis line where you can choose a doll that is anatomically correct (or not!) and they can play in the bath with your child! Some of them can even drink and use the potty which I think is awesome. These dolls have won multiple awards and it's no wonder because they are seriously awesome!

Your daughter will absolutely be delighted to receive one of the amazing baby dolls from the Gotz Line. Check them out on the HABA website!

GIVEAWAY

One lucky reader is going to win their choice of doll from the Gotz line (excluding the standing dolls)

Mothers Day Gifts #momsgifts

Everyone loves their mom and always wants to find the best gift to make her feel loved and appreciated. These are the gifts I have found and would love to share with you. After you enter my giveaway head over to Makobi Scribe to see her mothers day gift ideas worth over $3000. Then enter the grand prize drawing of a $1000 worth of Karina Dresses.

Among some of my most cherished belongings as a Mom is my personalized jewelry that have my children's names on them. I am a very sentimental Mom and products that honor my children are my most prized possessions.  My kids are the reason why I get up every morning and they keep me going day in and day out.  Dad's, if you want to REALLY wow your children's Mother this year, let me help you out. You will score MAJOR points if you get her something from PicturesOnGold.Com! 

I have a close friend who recently became a Mom and I wanted to honor her this year so I chose to make the beautiful Sterling Silver Mother's Day "Mom Heart" Locket for her. I didn't want her to know so I borrowed a picture of her new baby boy from her Facebook page and I sent it in to Pictures on Gold. He is her first and only child so I chose the mother and son engraving on the front. They put the picture I sent them on the inside of the locket and then I had them engrave "Faith, Hope, Love" on the back of it because she is one of the strongest women that I know. She has been through some really tough stuff since her baby was born and I wanted to make sure she knows that she has friends that think she is an amazing mother and strong woman and I thought this locket was the perfect thing to do just that.

There are several options that you can get on the front of the locket. While I chose the mother and son, you can also choose from other variations to fit whatever your family makeup is. 

I absolutely love the way they were able to put his picture right onto the inside of the locket. This is from when he was first born and I hope it always reminds her of when he was this small! They grow so fast and I so wish I had something like this to cherish the times when my babies were newborns.

You can get any type of engraving on the back, although they did advise me that the fewer the letters, the better it will look. They recommend no more than 3 words. 

I could not be happier with the way this beautiful locket turned out and I cannot wait to give it to my friend for Mother's Day! She is going to absolutely love it.

Custom Built Cars from Manhattan Toy

With 3 boys in the house, we have no shortage of cars to play with. Our boys have loved playing with cars for as long as I can remember so they were pretty excited when they received a package from Manhattan Toy containing products from their new Motorworks line! The new line contains toy vehicles for ages 3 and up that all contain interchangeable parts so your child can spend hours customizing their cars just the way they like them! 

The Motorworks collection includes three different levels; the Street Series, Speed Series and Extreme Series. Each series starts with a detailed European beech wood body and then 

the interchangeable pieces across all three series easily snap into place. Our 3 year old can not usually play with toys like this because it's too hard for him to get the pieces in place but I was so happy that he can do these on his own without any help or frustration. That is a huge plus for me. They carry a reasonable price tag too so you can stock up and let your child's creativity go wild. The initial vehicles are priced from $13.99 to $29.99 (two-pack vehicle sets) and the accessories, from custom car decals to monster wheels, start at $4.99! 

These are simple toys that your children will love playing with again and again. We are huge fans of Manhattan Toy and we are so excited to build our kids collection of vehicles from the new Motorworks line! 

GIVEAWAY

One lucky winner is going to receive their choice of 1 car and 1 accessory pack. Winner can choose from the following:

Vehicles:

· Street Series: pick GT Road Racer, FX Tuner Wagon or XT Sport

· Speed Series: pick EXS Ground Effects Roadster, FSS Flareside Truck or STS Stealth Police Cruiser

· Extreme Series: pick FSX Monster Truck, STX Patriot Dragster or FX Fire Chief

Accessories: 

· Custom Car Decals

· Ground Effects wheels and trim

· Street Drifter wheels and trim

· Police Pursuit wheels and trim

· Racing Wheels and trim

· Monster Wheels and trim

· Downforce Dragster wheels and trim

Pamper Mom This Mother's Day with Wahl Home Products

*This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. I received a Wahl Hot/Cold Massager for the purpose of this review.*

Mother's Day is a time to honor your Mother and show her how much you care. People spend so much money on Mother's day but it is rarely on gifts that mother's really want and can use. This year, give her a gift that will make her feel pampered and special. Give her something from www.wahlmassagers.com! 

We recently received the Hot/Cold Massager from Wahl and it could not have arrived at a better time. I have been trying to get back into a workout routine after taking a break due to an injury and my muscles have been so sore and achy.  I love going to the chiropractor and getting a massage but my insurance will only pay for so many visits per year and I have a pretty hefty co-pay so it isn't always practical for me to go get a professional massage. That is why I love the massager that we received! I don't have to make an appointment and I don't have to spend a bunch of money. When my muscles need a break, it takes me less than 60 seconds to get out the massager, plug it in and enjoy a nice massage! 

Some of the things that I love:

*4 interchangeable attachments (smooth, raised bumps, kneading, ripple wave) 

*Two speeds

*Both hot and cold settings

*Ergonomic handle 

*Easy to use 

*Good for swollen muscles, poor circulation or just general pain 

*Great investment at an MSRP of $59.99 (That's less than a 1-hour massage!) 

I am always skeptical when it comes to home massage products because I have had several different brands that have just not done the job they were designed to do. I am so happy that the Wahl Hot/Cold Massager is different. I can get a great massage on the spot whenever I need one and it really does leave my muscles feeling relaxed and feeling great.  Whether I am tired from a hard workout or stressed out from the every day life of being a Mom, I know I can count on Wahl to help relieve my stress and make my body feel better! 

GIVEAWAY

One lucky reader is going to win their own Hot/a Rafflecopter giveaway

Plastic Welding Equipment from PAS

I have the most handy husband in the world. He is seriously one of the smartest, most amazing handy men that I have ever met. He literally can design, create or fix anything in the world. Our toddler constantly wants someone to pitch baseballs to him but obviously we don't have several spare hours in the day to do that. As much as we would love to play out back all day, we just can't. Within minutes one day, I saw my husband tinkering around in the garage and he emerged with something that he made for our toddler to be able to hit the baseball without someone having to pitch it to him. It was so awesome! Recently he told me he wanted to take up welding and I thought that was really awesome. It's one of the few things that he doesn't have equipment for, although I have seen him weld on many occasions at other locations. He has just about every tool you can possibly imagine except for welding equipment.

QuickStep Laminate Flooring

When we started looking for a new home last year, we went through many different types of homes. We weren't sure exactly what we were looking for as far as flooring was concerned but we were really surprised how many homes we found with laminate flooring! I never thought I would like the look of laminate flooring but some of the homes we looked at had beautiful laminate flooring that we loved!

Quickstep laminate flooring gives floors a hardwood look that cannot be beat. In addition to looking stunning in any room of the house, Quickstep laminate flooring has many benefits.  Quickstep floor tiles are easy to install too so gone are the days of glue messes and difficult installation.  Quickstep laminate flooring uses a revolutionary locking system where the tiles click together.  This eliminates mess, guards against warping, and keeps tiles at the same height.  This system also makes them perfect for installation on top of nearly any type of sub-flooring.  Quickstep laminate flooring comes in a wide range of styles and colors that are textured to give the look of hardwood.  Finishes come in a variety of looks such as high gloss, textured, natural and more.  The square edges give a seamless look to the floor and the micro-beveled edges on some styles match the surface decor. Quickstep laminate floors are also easy to clean.  Spills can be wiped right up and dirt and dust are easily mopped up or swept away. Excellent for any room in a home, Quickstep laminate flooring holds up to general traffic in your home.  Some styles are better suited for commercial use and hold up to a standard amount of foot traffic. Anyone in the market for hardwood floors should definitely check out Quickstep laminate flooring! The quality and price can't be beat. 

We really hate our flooring in our kitchen and I am seriously starting to consider this flooring. We have around 360 square feet in our kitchen and right now we have a white ceramic tile. You can imagine with four children what type of upkeep they require. I spend the majority of my day sweeping or washing the floors so I would love to update them soon.
