There is something really comforting about a bowl of popcorn. It is warm, cozy, tasty, and has a versatile flavor palate. My girls like sweet popcorn flavors, my husband likes butter and salt, where as I like spicy or bold flavor combinations. We were recently given the chance to try a G.H. Cretors Popped Corn. For our review, we received a popped corn sampler pack; it included 5 full size bags of popped corn in- Chicago Mix, Carmel Corn and Cheese. These were the perfect flavors for our family! * Read more [...]

The city I grocery shop in has a ban on the large “carry out” plastic bags and is proposing a ban on the smaller produce bags. Our city residents seem to be split on the whole issue of reusable bags. I believe the issue some community members have is with the city telling them what they can and cannot do. No matter what side of the issue we are on, I believe most of us agree that we like the fact that we aren’t filling our landfill with nearly as many plastic bags. I rather enjoy using cloth Read more [...]

If you follow my reviews even on a semi-regular basis, then you probably know that we are a board game playing family. My daughters are 4.5 and almost 7 years old. Playing board games is not only a fun activity for us, but also an educational activity. I think kids learn a lot through play…so do adults. Sometimes we learn academic skills; sometimes life skills and other times we are gently reminded to enjoy the simple things in life and to reconnect with our family members. Recently we had the Read more [...]

My mom is a BUSY lady. She is a real estate agent which means she is always on the go. She goes out of her way to make sure she is available for clients at all times of the day. In addition to searching for properties and showing them, my mom goes above and beyond with helping her clients. Many times I have heard her say she is running to so-and-so’s house to fix something, let a repair person in or to check on something. I don’t know of many agents that are willing to go that far to help their Read more [...]

This year, my girls are in 1st grade and preschool. As we were preparing for school to start, I asked them what clothing items they both wanted more of this year. It was unanimous, they both wanted more dresses. I quickly logged on to the Nohi Kids website and found the dresses I/we wanted. For our review, Nohi Kids sent the girls two dresses. Savannah is wearing the Sash Dress Snowflake Navy and Cheyenne is wearing the Neck Ruffle Dress Navy Stripe. Savannah’s Sash Dress Snowflake Navy Read more [...]

I have become quite fond of statement necklaces. I love the pop of color, declaration of texture and testimony of pattern that a necklace can add to your outfits. The only real rule to statement necklace is that there are NO rules. Wear these necklaces with anything and everything. Wear them not just because they “go-with” your outfit, but wear them because they make you feel and look sensational! One of my new favorite shops for statement necklaces is a boutique called the Hawthorn Collection. Read more [...]

My two darling daughters are not the most patient people in the world. I put all of the blame on their mom! Yep, they picked this up from me. All three of us, seem to “want what we want, when we want it”, but I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing…as long as we are willing to work for it. I am trying to show them how to work hard for the things that they want in life. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” I am also trying to teach us, how to increase our patience. What better Read more [...]

The girls and I love finding cute eco-friendly clothing. As the girls were headed back to school, we were looking for some new clothing pieces that were fashionable and earth friendly. We were all impressed when we stumbled upon Dhana EcoKids. Dhana EcoKids knows that kids have a fresh and innocent way of viewing the world. They want to embrace this feeling by creating a clothing line that is eco-friendly, embraces different cultures and celebrates childhood. Dhana EcoKids offer a line of organic Read more [...]

For the last at least two years, I have heard my mom say how much she wanted a pair of clogs. She used to wear them back in her “hippy” days (her words) and wished she could find some in today’s fashion styles.  She said she loves the craftsmanship, the look and the way they make her feet feel. Her birthday was in early September. This year I was able to get her a gift I knew she would love and cherish. I was able to get her Sandgrens Clogs! For my review, I received the Philly boot in Read more [...]

I am a mom to two very active little girls. Lately I have really begun to notice how girls’ clothing styles are changing. They have gone from cute designs with modest cuts to styles that aren’t very conservative and are a bit too provocative for this mom.  I believe in clothing that covers, is comfortable to wear and allows little girls to be active and explore the world. One company that shares my beliefs is Girl Gotch. Girl Gotch offers young girls a line of underwear that is both fashionable Read more [...]
