I received products from Educational Insights. All opinions are my own. I went a bit overboard with my daughters’ Easter baskets this year. I don’t like giving them a bunch of sugar treats so I try to fill their baskets with things they need, can use, and will enjoy. Adding Educational Insights to their basket was a no-brainer. Educational Insights toys are fun and educational! Recently both of my daughters have become interested in science. They just completed a special day of science Read more [...]

I received products from Tervis for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 7 and almost 5, love having the same products that mom and dad have. One of the items they want to have are travel mugs. My favorite travel mug is a “MOM” tumbler I received from Tervis. There have been many mornings when I’ve found myself racing to beat the girls to my coffee mug because they want to use it. I decided a solution would be to add 10 ounce Tervis tumblers and travel lids to their Easter Read more [...]

I received product from eCarpetGallery for my review. All opinions are my own. Our master bedroom is easily the room I dread the most in our house. It doesn't have that Zen feeling that I believe a master bedroom should have. Instead, it has an overwhelming gloomy feeling. It is cluttered with important papers, has overflowing storage issues and the décor is unattractive. It is not a place where I can relax and recharge my soul. Before Over the next couple months, I am going to make a few Read more [...]

I received products from Radio Flyer for my review. All opinions are my own. For the last two years, we have wanted to build raised garden beds. We've hesitated doing so because our house is for sale and we didn't want to build beds and then have potential buyers not like having them on the property. Instead, we just added it to our growing list of things that we would do at the new house whenever we finally got to move. This year we have a different mindset, which is: we are the current house Read more [...]

I received Chillsner from Corkcicle for my review. All opinions are my own. Last year, I reviewed a Corkcicle. Corkcicle is a new product that allows you to chill your bottle of wine from the inside out. You can read my full Corkcicle Review.    Today, I get to share a new product from Corkcicle that is called the Chillsner. Although Chillsner was designed specifically for beer bottles, it also works well in soda bottles or any other 9” bottled beverages. Chillsner is made with a sturdy Read more [...]

I received product from Natural Area Rugs for my review. All opinions are my own. I love area rugs. I think of area rugs similar to fashion accessories. Adding a great area rug to your room can completely change the look of the room…just like a great statement necklace. Area rugs are an easy way to add a pop of color, layer of texture and/or a playful pattern. Lately, I have been redecorating some of the rooms in my house. I decided it was time to do something about my dining area. We have Read more [...]

I received product from Synergy Organic Clothing for my review. All opinions are my own. Today is a busy day for me. It started off with a lot of work items on my to-do list. I had what I call “work-work” that needed to get done, I had household chores waiting for me, I wanted to spend time home schooling my youngest, and I wanted to spend some time reading a book that I’m trying to finish in a timely manner. It was going to be one of those days where I bounced from task to task. I knew Read more [...]

Kohl’s provided me with Kohl’s Gifts for my review. All opinions are my own. For the last 4+ years, our house has been on and off the market. We have had a few showings and some open houses to try to find the right buyers. We usually hear the same comment from potential buyers, they like the house, but aren’t real sure about the location. Location, location, location! I obviously can’t change the location of our house. What I can do, is make the house and yard so darn cute, that the Read more [...]

I received ChapStick products from Pfizer Consumer Healthcare for my review. All opinions are my own. Boy, this winter has had some CRAZY weather! Thankfully, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  In Oregon, we have actually had an unusually dry winter. Don’t quote me on this, but I think I heard that we have only received about 1/3 of our normal rain. This may be but we have had two really good snow storms which is not common for our area. The first brought about 10 inches Read more [...]
