I received products from Amanda Shore, Jamberry Nails for my review. All opinions are my own. I love Jamberry Nails.  If you aren’t familiar with Jamberry Nails, let me tell you a bit about them. Jamberry Nails are the creation of three beautiful sisters. These sisters enjoyed spending time together while getting their nails done. Even though this time together was special, it was expensive and their manicures didn’t last as long as they would have liked.  The three sisters set out to create Read more [...]

I received products from Jamba At-Home Smoothies for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters love smoothies! We often make smoothies with both fruits and vegetables. It is a fun way for them to enjoy a nutritional beverage. It is also fun to take this smoothie blend and turn them into popsicles; healthy summers treat! We were recently asked to try the new Jamba At-Home Smoothie Kits. Each kit contains a fruit and vegetable smoothie blend. They come in two new flavors- Red Fusion and Read more [...]

I received products from Funnybone Muse for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 7 and 5, love arts & crafts! We have an entire cabinet dedicated to arts & crafts supplies. We have papers, crayons, markers, pencils, stencils, scissors, stamps, paints, glue, glitter, stickers, pompoms, ric rac, foam sheets, popsicle sticks and so much more.  The one supply I knew we were missing was stamps! I did some ‘mom research’ and found a company called Funnybone Muse. Read more [...]

I received products from Bloomer's Island for my review. All opinions are my own. I was blessed with two daughters who love vegetables. There are only a couple vegetables that they have turned up their noses at. I know I am extremely lucky. Many parents struggle with getting their children to eat vegetables. Some choose to 'hide' vegetable puree in other foods and others just give up and don't make their kids eat them. From very early on, we asked our kids to eat three bites of everything on Read more [...]

I received a gift card from Kohl’s for my review. All opinions are my own. Back to school time is a mixture of emotions for many. Some are excited to go back and see all of their friends that they missed over the summer break. Others dread the daily tasks associated with school, homework and hearing the tardy bell again. Luckily my kids take after their dad when it comes to their feelings about school. Just like he did, they love going to school. To prepare the girls for going back to Read more [...]

I received products from KidCuteTure for my review. All opinions are my own. I have two young daughters. Savannah is 7.5 years old and Cheyenne is 5.33 years old. (Those months are very important to them!) Both girls have a passion for fashion. They like pulling together outfits that share a glimpse of their creative personalities. When the girls and I need to shop, we prefer to do so at clothing boutiques. We like to support the smaller businesses for many reasons…one of which is that they Read more [...]

I received products from Say Please Lunchbox Love for my review. All opinions are my own. Back to school time is upon us. My daughters go back on September 2nd and 8th. This year, I will have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. This will be the first time both girls are in school Monday through Friday. It is also our first experience with all-day Kindergarten; this is a new program in our school district. I know many schools offer all-day kindergarten but I am not sure we/I am ready for it. It seems Read more [...]

I received products from AllerEase Bedding for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters have allergies. We believe our youngest is allergic to grass seed. This might not sound like a big deal to some people, but we live in the “grass seed capital of the world”. This makes her early summers a bit of a drag. We end up giving her eye drops, nose spray and allergy medication for a couple of months. Then when grass harvesting season comes to an end, her symptoms ease up. As Oregon weather Read more [...]

I received products from Ruby Ribbon for my review. All opinions are my own. Like most women, I sometimes worry about the way my clothing wears. I try to choose clothing that enables me to look and feel my best. I want to show off my stronger features while maybe diminishing those areas I am still working to improve. I have a couple new pieces of clothing that help me in all the right places. Ruby Ribbon is a clothing line with a secret. Their fashion basics secretly have shapewear built in Read more [...]

I received products from YesStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Starting a new adventure in life can be both exciting and scary. This week, I have decided to take a new path. I am super excited about the possibilities, nervous about my unanswered questions and worried that I might not have what it takes. None the less, change is good and I am ready for it. To help me feel a little more confident, I am going to start working on some outfits which could be considered business casual. Read more [...]
