I received product from Sparq Home for my review. All opinions are my own. My husband is the entertainer in our family. He really enjoys gathering family and friends over for food, drinks, a game or any other reason he can think of. This year, I decided to get him a few Christmas gifts from Sparq Home.  He received these items early so that he could have them for our holiday events. Sparq Home is a unique line of home gourmet housewares made from hand-crafted soapstone. They offer appetizer Read more [...]

I received product from Raskullz for my review. All opinions are my own. A number of boys and girls will receive new bikes, scooters, skateboards, skates, or other adventurous toys this holiday season. It is important to remember safety gear when playing with these new items. Do you need knee or elbow pads? Do you need new gloves? How about a new helmet? My girls are getting new scooters. I wanted to make sure their helmets were the right size. I noticed they are both outgrowing their current Read more [...]

I received products from NOW Foods for my review. All opinions are my own. Have you jumped on the essential oil band-wagon? I recently did! Essential oils are a natural way to cure many ailments. Different herbs can help with everything from colic, to colds, sore muscles, poor moods, insomnia, lack of appetite, and much more. Essential oils can be massaged into the skin with carrier oil or used in a diffuser. Since I am still an essential-oils newbie, I was excited when NOW Foods offered me a Read more [...]

I received product from Artterro for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 5.5 and almost 8 years old, LOVE arts & crafts projects. They especially love when I get them kits that have all the needed supplies to create one or more projects. They appreciate having the instructions on how to complete an item but also enjoy having the freedom to be able to use their creativity to personalize the item. Recently we had the opportunity to try two Arts & Crafts kits from Read more [...]

I received products from JKS Communications for my review. All opinions are my own. The busier our life gets, the more I appreciate the quiet moments I can curly up next to a warm fire with a good book. It doesn’t happen as much as would like, but when it does, it is special “me time”. I recently received five new books from JKS Communications. JKS Communications is a literary publicity firm. They work with some amazing publishers and creative authors to get their books out into the hands Read more [...]

I received product from Zoey’s Attic Personalize Gifts for my review. All opinions are my own. There is just something extra special about personalized gifts. Zoey’s Attic has a wide assortment of personalized gifts. They offer items for babies, kids of all ages, parents, grandparents and teachers. The gift of a personalized t-shirt, bag, mug, pillow, apron or holiday ornament, show that you were thinking specifically of that person when you had the gift created. It sends a message that you Read more [...]

I received product from Violife for my review. All opinions are my own. Another of our family Christmas traditions is receiving new toothbrushes in our stockings. Isn't it funny how traditions continue on each year; even if we have no real idea of who originated them or when they began? I think they are kind of a fun mystery. This year, my daughters will receive new Slim Sonic toothbrushes from Violife. Violife (formerly Violight) offers a line of fun dental care products. Violife products Read more [...]

I received product from Wackadoodle Books for my review. All opinions are my own. This year, I am gifting books to my Niece and Nephews. Gifting books is my all-time favorite gift to give. When a child reads a book, it opens their lives to new exciting adventures and a world of knowledge. My favorite online bookstore is Wackadoodle Books. Wackadoodle Books offers a great collection of books and book gift baskets. They also offer a registry wish list. This is a great option for family members Read more [...]

I received product from BeddingStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Gift shopping for women and teen girls can be a bit of a challenge at times. We either have a million things we want, can't decide what we want, can't find what we want, or want something we can't have. Lol. In this situation, I try to stick with gifts that are practical yet luxurious. A gift that will get used but might also be something the receiver wouldn't likely spend their own money on. This year that gift is Read more [...]
