I received these books in exchange for sharing about them with our readers. As always, all opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post.

Check out some of these Halloween favorites from Sourcebooks, and pick overnight shipping on Amazon Read more [...]

Thanks to Schwinn for sending me this bike and helmet! As always, all opinions are my own. We are a family that loves spending time outdoors, and one of our favorite activities is going for bike rides together. We're lucky enough to live near the Lake Wobegon Trail, which gives us a great place to get outside, bike to one of our favorite seasonal restaurants, and spend some quality time together. There is one little challenge, though; we live on a hill! And if you've ever finished a nice bike Read more [...]

Thanks to Cloudfit for sending me this comforter. As always, all opinions are my own. As my kids get older, they've been given more responsibilities around the house. I want them to grow up to be better at household management and general tidying up than I am - ha! One of the small things we've implemented this year is making our beds every morning after we get up - and Cloudfit has made that so much easier! I'm excited to share this innovative comforter with you, and we've got a giveaway for Read more [...]

Thanks to TrustedAir for sending me this air purifier! As always, all opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post.  We're heading into the cold seasons here in Minnesota and I'm SO not ready! Over the past couple summer months, we've enjoyed the summer, sun, and fresh air with the windows open 24/7. Now we're heading into the time of year where we hunker down and the windows have to stay closed - not my favorite! One thing that we've implemented in our home to help combat Read more [...]

Thanks to Vernal for sending me this incredible desk! As always, all opinions are my own.  I've been working from home for about four years now and my very favorite work-from-home tool is my standing desk. For a few years I'd sit while I worked but soon I realized that was not going to be a good or sustainable option for my health! I got a standing desk and I never looked back! Recently I was able to upgrade my standing desk to the Vernal Executive Standing Desk and it is GORGEOUS!  Vernal Read more [...]
