Thank you to Colgate for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Back to school time isn't just for kids.

This year, they are offering fashion-forward supplies, everything you'll Read more [...]

Thank you to Built NY for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. More often than not, my kids take a lunch from home to school. I have them do this because I can (somewhat) control the foods they eat and because it is a huge financial saving. Our school hot lunches are over two dollars each. When I make a lunch from home, I would be willing to bet it cost me less than a dollar. Over the school year, that saves me at least a Read more [...]
