I received product from TOKAMAK for my review. All opinions are my own. Today is a cold fall day in Oregon. It is the kind of day where you cherish your sweaters, cozy socks and warm drinks. As I transitioned into my fall wardrobe, I noticed that I didn’t have many sweaters. I began searching for a few special sweaters to add to my wardrobe. I found what I was looking for at one of my new favorite clothing boutiques called TOKAMAK. TOKAMAK offers QUALITY women’s garments. TOKAMAK wants Read more [...]

I received Beauty Bursts and Collagen Beauty Builder from NeoCell for this review. All opinions are my own. NeoCell is a company that was established in 1998 after its founder recovered from some very serious health issues.  It was during his health scare that the founder started investigating a way that he could rejuvenate his health and improve his healing process.   His first choice was to look at holistic healing which is when he discovered the immensely important role that collagen plays Read more [...]

I received Icential Coolwraps for my review. All opinions are my own. This year, I am getting my first taste of making school lunches. The girls and I are learning tricks as we go for making healthy and fun lunches. Our school district has a no-nut policy. This means absolutely no lunch products can contain nuts of any kind. I don’t think you realize how many products have nuts until you can’t have them (I know I didn’t). Through trial and error, the girls and I have found a few lunch menus Read more [...]

I received a Hang-Up Home Organizer from Thirty-One Gifts for my review. All opinions are my own. This year, I have a daughter in first grade and one in pre-school. That means a lot of papers are coming home with them. I quickly realized I needed a place to display and store all of those important documents. I began searching for a homework organizer. I wanted something with lots of pockets. I also wanted something that would look good on my walls. Not only do I want my home to look and feel organized, Read more [...]

I received product from PomTree Craft Kits for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing arts & crafts projects. They would do them all day and every day if I let them. I however, don’t like the mess that usually comes with these projects. I have cleaned up so much paint, scrubbed off a ton of clue, my vacuum cleaner canister is permanently decorated with glitter, and I have stickers stuck in more places than I care to count. Because of this personal headache, Read more [...]

I received a Scalp BB Anti-Aging and Anti-Hair Loss kit from Therapy-G for my review. All opinions are my own. I have fine and thin blond hair. I remember my aunt doing my hair when I was young and telling me my hair was “frog fur”. I wasn’t sure what she meant, but knew that it didn’t sound good. As I got older, I too went to work in a hair salon. I learned that my hair has a really fine texture. This causes it to be limp and flat. I set out to find hair products that could help me improve Read more [...]

I received five  Halloween books from Candlewick Press for my review. All opinions are my own. My girls (ages 4.5 and almost 7 years old) have accumulated an extensive home library. We have a wide variety of books; they cover many age-appropriate lessons, an assortment of subjects and celebrate most holiday festivities. I say most holidays because I recently discovered we only had one book in our library that was about Halloween. This is why I was super excited when Candlewick Press reached out Read more [...]

I received a Whitney Purse from Velvet Pepper for my review. All opinions are my own. I love handbags. When I look for a new handbag, I look for size, storage, organization and style. I want a bag that helps me carry all my day-to-day necessities and keeps them organized. I am a busy mom with two little girls. I need a bag that keeps me going, but doesn’t scream “mom bag!” I love when handbags are fashionable and functional. I love when they make a statement and when they show a hint of Read more [...]

I received two pairs of children’s shoes from Tsukihoshi for this review. All opinions are my own. I was surprised and excited when my daughter came home from the first week in first grade and told me they have PE 2-3 times a week (off days are music days.) I was surprised because I had assumed PE (and music) had probably been cut or significantly reduced in the school curriculum for budget cuts. We also received a note from her teacher explaining that they would be on a rotating schedule, Read more [...]

I received Jimmy Dean product coupons for my review. All opinions are my own. Today marks one month that my kiddos have been back in school. My youngest feels right at home in her second year of preschool.  My oldest is still adjusting to her new “big” school and the 1st grade. It has been an exciting month. It has also been an interesting month full of learning the new schedule and routine. Prior to the school year starting, my oldest was adamant she was going to start riding the school Read more [...]
