Shopping Small For The Holidays At Brilliant Sky Toys & Books
We're coming up on the time of year where many of us start making lists of gifts we need to buy for loved ones. Most of us will have lists primarily made up of toys - aren't the holidays primarily about the kids anyway? I think most parents seek out toys that not only will delight their child when first unwrapped, but will be toys that their child uses over and over again for weeks or even months, so that it's truly appreciated. I know that's always my goal when buying gifts for kids. When looking Read more [...]
Evenflo Symphony DLX All-in-one Car Seat Review
*I was provided with an Evenflo Symphony DLX car seat. All opinions are my own.
Kelsie turned seven months old this week, and although she's petite for her age at about 15lbs, her infant car seat that she had used from birth was really bulky and heavy. I went to the mall with her and her mom when she was about six weeks old and I couldn't believe how heavy her car seat was even without her in it.

BIC Mark-it Permanent Markers – For Just About Anything
I received this product for free from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review.
I was recently able to try out Bic's Mark-it permanent markers. The pack I was sent comes with 36 colors and I was immediately impressed with how the shades truly appear different. So many markers have variations of shades but on paper they are almost impossible to tell apart - that isn't at all the case here, each color shows up differently even when placed up against a similar color. They're shaped almost like Read more [...]
The Store – 5 day Bahamas Vacation Sweepstakes
*I was compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.
Blog giveaways are great - they're a fun way to win birthday or christmas gifts, or try new products. But, how awesome would it be to win a 5 day trip to Atlantis Paradise Island Resort Bahamas, including your hotel stay, airfare for two, and $1000 to spend while you're there? The entire grand prize package is valued at $6000! It sounds incredible to me. I've never even been on a plane before so that alone would be a fun Read more [...]
