Thank you to Genial Day for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I have a love/hate relationship with my bras. Sometimes, when I’m bra shopping and try it on in the store, I know immediately that it isn’t going to work. I’m already feeling poked, itchy, bulgy, flattened, and seriously grumpy and I haven’t had it on for more than 30 seconds. Imagine wearing it all day! Fast forward to Genial Day and their amazing Queen of Comfort Read more [...]

Thank you to High Mowing Organic Seeds for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Last summer, I focused my attention on our flower beds. We have several flower beds around our property. In the front yard, I had a lot of iris, snapdragon, and penstemon plants. I wanted to add a variety of flowers and herbs to give my beds more of a cottage flower garden look. I turned to High Mowing Organic Seeds to help me bring my vision to fruition. For my Read more [...]

Thank you to Goliath Games for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters love playing games. It doesn't matter if it is an inside game or an outside game, a board game or a physical game, they seem to really enjoy playing them all. A couple of months ago, they had the opportunity to review Googly Eyes, Wordsearch, and Zoom Ball Hydro from Goliath Games. Zoom Ball Hydro is perfect for warm weather days. Two players, ages 8 and Read more [...]

Thank you to Games Adults Play for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. When I was young, the computer game called The Oregon Trail was popular. I don't recall a lot about the game other than trying to budget money so we could purchase supplies and safely get family members across the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail computer game was popular for several reasons but, mainly because we didn't have very many options back then. It was even more of a Read more [...]

Thank you to Baker Creek for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. During the long, cold, dark, and wet winter days, I begin dreaming about planting our spring/summer garden. Living in the Oregon coast range means we only have two or three months of growing time. I do all my prep work in advance so that I don't waste any precious growing time. I get out my Baker Creek heirloom garden seed catalog and research the vegetable varieties we want to plant Read more [...]

This Halloween, I am going to handout non-edible goodies to the trick-or-treaters. Kids get enough sugar in their daily lives. We don't need to load them up on more. Plus many families are challenged with food allergies. This way I don't have to worry about giving someone something they can't have and no one feels left out. If you in the same situation and need ideas, I compiled a list of over 60 non-edible Halloween goodies for Trick-Or-Treaters. Play-Doh Lego Figures Silly Straws Read more [...]

Thank you to Munk Pack for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters and I don't eat enough protein. We naturally gravitate towards carbs...both healthy and not so healthy. In a quest to add more protein into our diets, I did an internet search for kids protein snacks. One thing leads to another, and then another, and finally, I stumbled upon Munk Pack. Munk Pack offers customers a line of Protein Cookies and Oatmeal Fruit Squeezes. Read more [...]

Thank you to POPTime for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Popcorn is one of our favorite family snacks. We enjoy air-popping a fresh hot batch of popcorn and flavoring it with our favorite different toppings. The one downside to this is that popcorn doesn't stay fresh for long. Quickly it becomes stale and loses its appeal. This makes it difficult to take popcorn with you when you leave the house. When I heard about POPTime flavored popcorn Read more [...]
