Thank you to Zubels for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I remember as a young girl, my mom would clothe me in dresses, rompers, and sun suits all Summer long.  Looking back through photos, it's fun to reminisce about the "good old days".  There was one day in particular that I always look back on with a smile.  While it seemed spontaneous to my little 5 year old self, I'm sure my parents had it all planned Read more [...]

  Thank you to Jack & Lilly for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Do you remember the birth of your first child?  Eleven years ago on Good Friday, my water broke at about 3 am. I didn't know it was possible for me to get out of bed so fast, being 9 months pregnant, but I did.  So booked it to the bathroom and yelled for my husband.  Of course, when I told him my water broke, he asks "Are you sure?"  Read more [...]

  Thank you to CVS for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. When preparing to head on vacation, one of the big things at the forefront of my mind is money.  Vacations are expensive!  Many times most meals come from restaurants and every tour you take ends with the guides asking for tips.  We're a fairly big family since we have 5 kids and things from food to tickets to souvenirs can get very costly.  So while Read more [...]

  Thank you to Feltman Brothers for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. When we were expecting our first child, I was secretly hoping for a girl.  While I would have been thrilled either way, I longed for a daughter to dress up and style.  Plus, I loved doing little girls' hair and painting nails.  And so it came to pass, when it turned out to be a girl, I stocked her closet full of pinks, ruffles, lace, and Read more [...]

  Thank you to Rileyroos for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. The old saying goes, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes.  Unfortunately, I have to disagree.  If the shoes are uncomfortable, fit poorly, and cause issues, they don't belong in the closet!  I actually just recently went through my shoes and rid myself of about half my stash.  So now I turned my attention to our youngest child's footwear.  Read more [...]

  Thank you to Mommy's Bliss for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. It seems like cancer and sickness is prevalent everywhere these days.  When I was 15, my dad had a cancer scare and headed out of state for a few weeks to try a protocol from a natural-path doctor.  He never did share many details about all that happened out there but after coming home, he made a lot of changes.  He began watching what he Read more [...]

  Thank you to Zubels for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. When looking for the perfect baby gift or Easter Basket toys for a new little squish or even your own infant or toddler, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the choices.  Is it best to choose a rattle, a stuffed animal, a doll, or even something else!?!  Do babies prefer light up toys?  Musical toys?  Some are so loud that I wonder if they are Read more [...]

  Thank you to Munchkin for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. On our last big family vacation over 7 years ago, we only had two children.  They were only about 2 1/2 and 6 months but they were the only kids in our party of 12.  So that meant we had a lot of adult hands for our two littles.  This time around, we're traveling with 17 people BUT 9 will be kids!  As parents to five of those young kiddos, we're Read more [...]
