February 8, 2019 By Leticia

Retailers have been gearing up for Valentine’s Day even before the last of the holiday decorations disappeared from stores but that doesn’t mean that we were ready to think about getting gifts for our loved ones. With less than a week until Valentine’s Day now is about the time that we’re thankful for Amazon Prime and shipping options that ensure that gifts for our loved ones arrive in time.

Since we’re all feeling the crunch, this year’s Valentine Gift Guide is short and sweet and includes gifts that will encourage learning in fun ways, rose quartz colored gaming accessories to help her brighten up her gaming, products your digital art lovers will appreciate, and of course, a couple things to set their tech savvy heart aflutter.

Valentine Gifts to Keep Your Loves Learning

Tub Sub ($9.99)

There’s nothing more fun than toys that sink and float during bath time and why not teach this scientific concept with this darling Tub Sub. When it’s a boat it floats….as a sub it sinks with its periscope showing! Young marine specialists learn the concept very quickly when they push or pull the blue part up and down and see how the Tub Sub works. I love that this affordable toy also encourages thinking and reasoning. Ages 12 months+

GeoStacker ($19.99)

Sorting is a mathematical concept that can be taught to the youngest ages. Easy to sort by circles or squares, Edushape’s Geo Stacker features eight classic geometric shapes that are fun for your baby to hold and squeeze, and even more fun to stack on top of each other thanks to topple-proof tubes. Made of soft rubber, the colors and textures are inviting and introduce babies to geometric shapes – and stacking. Ages 12 months+

Build or Boom ($29.99)

Love to build? Build or Boom appeals to young engineers thanks to a game where builders are required to use blueprint cards to bring their structure to life. This fun partner game requires siblings, friends, or a parent-child pair to be the fasted to use blocks, triangles, arches, I-beams, and more to carefully build their structure on the platform in order to win the chance to knock their opponent’s structure down. Build or Boom reinforces shape recognition, critical thinking skills, while incorporating some friendly competition into game play. For ages 4+  ** Enter my game giveaway below for a chance to win your choice of Build or Boom, Mastermind, or Hydro Strike!**

Mastermind ($16.99)

Mastermind was a game that I loved as a child. I had no idea at the time that this simple strategy game was teaching strategy skills like logic and deduction. If you’ve never played before, this 2-player game involves a Codemaker who sets a secret code using 4 colored pegs and a Codebreaker whose role is to try to match the code using logic, deduction, and a bit of luck. After each turn, the Codemaker provides clues to the Codebreaker. With 4 colored pegs that can be put in any order, the possibilities are endless, especially if multiple pegs of the same color are used or if one hole is left empty! This classic STEM game doesn’t take up much space and is different every time! For ages 8+ ** Enter my game giveaway below for a chance to win your choice of Build or Boom, Mastermind, or Hydro Strike!**

Hydro Strike ($26.99)

Pinball wizards now how a new element to deal with- WATER! Hydro Strike requires fine motor skills as fingers flip to shoot the ball into their opponent’s goal. Each time you score, your opponent gets sprayed in the face with water. The first player to score up to 5 times wins in this game that is a twist on air hockey and pinball with water. For ages 7+ ** Enter my game giveaway below for a chance to win your choice of Build or Boom, Mastermind, or Hydro Strike!**

Valentine Gifts for Your Loves who Love Gaming

Gone are the days of black game accessories. I big puffy heart these Quartz Pink gaming accessories from Razer that will set her heart aflutter and add some much needed color to your game room.

Valentine Gifts to Set Their Tech Savvy Hearts Aflutter

Logitech MX VERTICAL ($99.99)

For this year’s Valentine’s Day, show you care by choosing a gift that increases your lover’s health where they least expect it, but need it most: working at a computer. The Logitech MX VERTICAL Advanced Ergonomic Mouse is Logitech’s first true ergonomic mouse that combines science-driven design with the performance of its MX series. MX VERTICAL is designed to reduce wrist and forearm strain and pressure related to repetitive strain injuries (RSI), while its special 57-degree vertical angle is optimized for an ergonomic wrist and forearm posture without compromising on productivity.

Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite ($299)

With family-friendly features such as Kid’s Corner, advanced Eye-comfort Mode and built-in fingerprint sensor to enable parental controls, Huawei’s brand new MediaPad M5 Lite is perfect for budding digital artists. It features a premium design, display, audio and performance qualities that you’d find in higher priced flagship tablets at a fraction of the cost along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM with expandable memory capacity of up to 256GB. Parents concerned about the effects of screens on young eyes will also appreciate that it has a Distance sensor, Posture Detect sensor, Ambient Light sensor and Blue Ray Filter. This means that when the tablet is less than 9.8 inches away from a face, it automatically detects and provides audio and visual cues to keep a child’s eyesight at an optimal distance from the display. The Posture Detect sensor automatically identifies when the tablet is viewed at a lying angle and provides posture guidance to change viewing habits.

Logitech Crayon ($69.99)

For the artist, sketcher or “professional doodler” in your life, the Logitech Crayon may be the key to their heart. Crayon is Logitech’s first digital pencil designed specifically for the new 9.7-inch iPad. The Crayon features Apple Pencil technology to deliver an ultra-responsive, precise and comfortable handwriting experience that makes it easy to markup and highlight work, take notes, or simply draw using your favorite iPad apps from the App Store.

Jaybird Tarah ($99.99)

Combining a streamlined, minimalist design with six hours of premium wireless sound per charge, Jaybird Tarah provides essential performance for everyday training and fitness. Perfect for the significant other in your life who is ready to cut the cord, Tarah is fully waterproof (IPX7) and sweatproof and features comfortable silicone ear gels and a Speed Cinch cord adjustment system to easily dial in the perfect fit. It’s convenient, one-touch access to your phone’s Siri or Google Assistant allows you to manage calls while running or riding. Tarah is also fully compatible with the Jaybird App, which allows you to create customized EQ settings and save them to the buds.

My best advice to parents of college students? Whe My best advice to parents of college students? When they say “you should come” - GO! ✈️

Over the last 4 years it’s been so wonderful to be invited for glimpses of Emily’s life on campus. I’ve been welcomed by her amazing friends who have become part of our family, met the professors, faculty & staff she talks so fondly of, and gotten to know fellow parents through trips to Family Weekend all while enjoying time with my best girl. 💕

Today I’m heading home as a proud mom with a full heart for all that I’ve experienced on campus during her college years and am in disbelief I’ll be back for graduation next week. 🥹

The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has fin The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has finally come to an end but what we accomplished was pure CubeSat Joy!! 🛰️

I continue to be in awe that we put something in space that existed up there for 5 months. 🥰 Our CubeSat took photos 📸 and tweeted 🐦‍⬛them out as we hoped it would thanks to the many students (and parents!) who have been involved in our meaningful real-world hands-on STEM project that enabled them to learn about technology and space over the past 11 years.

I found some old notes from a 2015 meeting and under Questions, I wrote: “If we are successful, would we do this again?” 

And the answer is yes! 🎉 Here’s to SilverSat 2.0 and involving more kids to dream up a new mission for our next Silver Spring CubeSat! 💕

Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over the weekend and is adding new race bling to their collection! 🎉 I did a thing this weekend too but it didn’t involve another race! 😂Here’s the before, swipe ⬅️ for the after!

Inspired by seeing @allytbrett_runs ’s race medals, I did a little medal reorg that makes my OCD self happy. 🙌🏼Pro tip- Instead of sliding the bar of the medal rack through the ribbon, I looped the ribbon around the bar so all the medals face forward! This small thing made a huge difference and makes me happy every time I walk into my office!💕

My next race is the 25th anniversary @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend on December 5th. I’m thinking this anniversary year medal will be the start of a new medal rack, just like my 15th anniversary medal started this collection.🫶🏼

If you want to run Memphis with me, race registration is open! Comment Memphis and I’ll DM you the registration link and happy to answer any and all race ❓s!

Race medals are great but charity bling is better! Race medals are great but charity bling is better! 🏅When I first started running for @stjude 10 years ago, I thought I’d be one and done but here I am- 15 races later and having raised almost $50,000! 🎉

The goal has always been to help end childhood cancer and I feel so fortunate to have met the most amazing people along the way. My fellow @stjudedc Hero Ambassadors are a group of dedicated baddies who I adore. 🥰 

We cheer for each other on and off the course and as my friend & fellow DC Hero Ambassador @jess_santora says, “My goal was never just to reach the finish line- it was to help more people get there too.” 🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s to more races, more money raised for St. Jude, and forever friendships! Already excited (and fundraising) for St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend this December. ✨Fundraising link in bio and donations of any amount are appreciated to help me reach my $4,000 goal! 🙏🏼

I am so proud of each and every one of us and especially incredibly grateful that OTFSS members said yes to running today! 🥰 

We fundraised, trained, and ran to give families hope that their kids will survive childhood cancer and to support researchers as they work towards a cure for childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. 💕

As a mom of 2, I know no parent should ever have to hear “your child has cancer” so thank you Team OTFSS for supporting St. Jude’s mission by running the streets of DC! We did it and I’m already looking forward to next year’s RNR DC race so we can do it again!🧡🧡🧡
