I received product from Mindy Mae’s Market for my review. All opinions are my own. I tend to take life too serious. I am trying to remember to have fun and enjoy the simple things in life. Lately, I have been trying to invite fun back into my wardrobe. I don’t want to get dressed just to be dressed. I want my outfits to say something about me and I want them to make me smile. One day, while killing time on facebook, I saw a boutique called Mindy Mae’s Market. The name caught my attention Read more [...]

I received product from Max Jeans for my review. All opinions are my own. I enjoy following fashion blogs. I love seeing how other moms dress. It gives me ideas to apply to my own wardrobe and inspires me to do more with my day-to-day look. For a while now I have seen a lot of fashion bloggers wearing denim shirts. I really liked this look, but wasn’t sure I could pull it off. This last Christmas, I received a pair of port colored skinny jeans. I had no idea what top to wear with them. Read more [...]

I received products from Jiva Cubes for my review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to making coffee, you have two basic ingredients:  coffee grounds and water. In some form or another, you combine the two and end up with a delicious cup of coffee. Right? Wrong! No matter how many times I make coffee, I end up with completely different cups of coffee. More often than not, my coffee comes out really weak. To correct this, the next time I brew, I alter the amounts of coffee grounds and/or Read more [...]

I received products from Little Fashions Boutique for my review. All opinions are my own. My little girls love fashion. At 7 years old and 4.5 years old, they really seem to be developing a style all their own. They very much enjoy mixing patterns, textures and colors. Often my oldest will come out of school wearing more accessories than she went to school wearing. I have heard from some of the class mom’s that she has even worn a tiara during class…trust me, she did not leave the house wearing Read more [...]

I received products from Candlewick Press for my review. All opinions are my own. Valentine’s day is a great time to remind your loved ones just how much they mean to you. One great way to do so is to cuddle up and read a book together. When you read with a young child, it gives you the opportunity to reconnect and to share thoughts and ideas. It’s a chance to see the world through their eyes.  It can also open a line of communication into many other subjects. Many of our moved loved and Read more [...]

I received products from PEEPS for my review. All opinions are my own. Prior to writing this review, my daughters and I had never tried PEEPS marshmallow treats. I have seen them around in stores for years, but just hadn’t tried them. My daughters have asked me what they tasted like. I explained that they were marshmallows but other than that, I had no idea what they tasted like. Last week, I was asked to review PEEPS Valentine’s Day treats and I jumped at the opportunity. For our review, Read more [...]

I received products from Dollie & Me for my review. All opinions are my own. For Christmas my daughters asked for Madame Alexander dolls. I was a little surprised because they hadn’t shown much interest in dolls. I did some research and was really impressed with Madame Alexander. They had a good selection of dolls to choose from, they appeared to be high quality and were reasonably priced compared to others. I also noted that Madame Alexander dolls are for ages 3 and up, whereas other dolls Read more [...]

I received product from Lipault of Paris for my review. All opinions are my own. Like many women, I have a bit of a handbag obsession. This is a fairly new obsession of mine. In the last year, I have changed a lot. I lost weight, did some soul searching and have a new outlook on life. With these changes, my fashion has also made great changes. Thus my new obsession for bags. Lipault specializes in beautiful luggage. Their pieces are lightweight and are made with materials that are both fashionable Read more [...]
