Thank you to Rembrandt for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. When I first met my husband, I was not a coffee drinker, he was though. He drank a cup of coffee every morning. A couple of years into our relationship I too began drinking coffee every morning. Fast-forward through eighteen years of drinking coffee, my teeth have developed yellow coffee stains. It bothers me that I don't have a bright white smile. I tend to hold back smiling in Read more [...]

Thank you to Texas Instruments for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Last month, I was on my daughters' school website looking at the school supply lists. I noticed that both girls were getting to the age/grade where they needed calculators that could do more than simple functions. They didn't need anything really complex but, also needed something with a few more functions than a basic calculator. After much thought, I decided to get them each Read more [...]

Thank you to nuPasta for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My step-father was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year. Since then, my mom has been doing her best to look for healthier alternatives to their favorite foods, one of them being pasta. When I learned about a company called nuPasta, that makes a healthy pasta alternative,  I decided to reach out for a review. NuPasta sent me a generous sampling of their products. I invited my Read more [...]

Thank you to Plackers for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. We all know how important it is to floss our teeth daily but, how many of us actually do it? According to a study I found online, about 30% of Americans floss daily. The rest of us are either not flossing at all or just occasionally flossing. Why is flossing so important? The American Dental Association recommends flossing between your teeth daily to help prevent cavities and gum Read more [...]

Thank you to Emani for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I love makeup. I love being able to play with colors and try different combinations to come up with new looks. One of my favorite makeup brands is Emani. Emani offers customers a line of vegan and gluten-free cosmetics and makeup brushes. When formulating new products, Emani is careful about the ingredients they select. They want to ensure their products are safe for those with allergies, Read more [...]

Thank you to Five Star for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Five Star is synonymous with high-quality school gear. On just about every school supply list, you will find at least one Five Star product. Both teachers and parents have come to depend on Five Star to make products that last the entire school year. That may not sound like a long time but, keep in mind, kids are NOT gentle....on anything! This year, Savannah, my oldest is in Read more [...]

Thank you to True Leaf Market for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Last spring, I read an article about how beneficial it was to feed your backyard chickens sprouts. After reading this article, I was inspired to plant a sprout garden in our chickens run so our chickens could have access to fresh nutritional greens.  If you missed my post, you may read it here. I knew VERY LITTLE about sprouts. I did some research and that lead me to a company Read more [...]

At the beginning of summer break, we have our daughters each write a summer bucket list. Their lists include anything and everything they hope to do that summer while on vacation from school. This year's summer bucket lists included family bike rides, swimming, play dates, slumber parties with their cousins, camping, a day at the beach, going to the county fair, watching a movie at the theater and trying new foods. When asked what new foods they wanted to try, my oldest said she wanted to try Read more [...]

I love the look of blanket ladders. I think they add a cozy feel to the room and make guests feel warm and welcome. What I don't love, is the prices on store bought blanket ladders. It blows my mind that stores can charge $50 and more for a few pieces of wood screwed together. After searching the internet high and low for deals and coming up empty handed, I decided to just make a blanket ladder myself. We have a few family members who have recently demoed projects in their homes. We were given Read more [...]
