Thank you to EZVIZ for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Technology is so amazing these days. It's almost unbelievable what we can all do with technology. I am admittedly not the most tech-savvy person out there, but I am definitely enjoying my smart phone (I got my first one less than a year ago) and a close second for favorite technology is our video baby monitors. Mixing those two pieces of technology, today I am happy to partner with EZVIZ to review the EZVIZ Read more [...]

Thank you to Kalencom for sending Cheeky Chompers products in exchange for this post. We were was first introduced Kalencom and Cheeky Chompers earlier this year.

Thank you to Identity Games for providing the Elmo's World Hide and Seek game in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. My daughter loves to play hide and seek; she has been playing it with us for months and is extremely good at it for only being 21 months old. Her favorite places to hide are behind curtains and in closets. She stays extremely still and quiet until we find her, then she giggles and is so proud! Another thing she really likes right now is Elmo! I am pleased to partner Read more [...]

Thank you for Lil' Monkey for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. Although I sometimes wish I could freeze time, my little girl is getting bigger by the day. At 21 months old, she is BUSY! This summer she has been having a blast playing on playgrounds. We have a park/playground nearby our home that we frequent often, however I have been on the lookout for something that she could use at home. I was excited to partner with Lil' Monkey to try out the Read more [...]

I am not a professional photographer. I'm just a mom who loves photographing her daughter. I wanted to share a post with some photos from the first year of my daughter's life. All of these ideas are ones you can easily re-create yourself. Feel free to take the ideas and put your own twist on them. Some tips: ~ Make sure your little one is in a good mood when you try to take their photos. Make sure they have a clean diaper on and are not hungry. Also make sure they are at a comfortable temperature. ~ Read more [...]

I love babies!  All my life, I've been the one who would give up going to friends houses to babysit.  I'd be the one you'd find on the sidelines at family parties snuggling whoever the newest member of the family was.  In part, since the doctors suggested we shouldn't have any more biological children due to my c-sections, that was why we finally took the leap and entered our foster care journey.  My heart is with babies.  Of course, I completely adore our kiddos as they grow too!  There's Read more [...]

Even though we homeschool, heading "back to school" is still a big deal in our home.  We go through many of the same things that public (or private) schooled children go through.  One day is spent school shopping for supplies, another day is sent prepping school work, and yet more days talking about the upcoming changes with the schedule.  I love having the freedom to ease back into the school year though, as it seems to make the transition a bit easier.  But as you work through all the fuss Read more [...]

A great way to get the kids excited for heading back to school is by picking out a really fun backpack and lunch pail for them.  Since these important items are used every single day for the entire school year, there are many things to consider.  Not only is style at the top of the important list, function and durability are also leading the list.  So today, I am excited to partner with Built NY on a review of their Big Apple Buddies line as it meets all my requirements! What's A Big Apple Read more [...]

Thank you to HoMedics for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. It's August. That means that summer is winding down and cooler, drier fall air will be here before we know it. With the drier air (and especially if we have a sick family member) I like to use a humidifier. HoMedics has a great humidifier option for babies and beyond. The HoMedics MyBaby SoundSpa Ultrasonic Humidifier can be a tool to help babies and children to sleep longer and more soundly. It Read more [...]
