Thank you to KidOFit for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are 100% my own.   Five kids times two feet each equals quickly outgrown shoes.  It still amazes me with each and every child, how quickly they grow and thrive.  But these changes leave me shoe shopping and clothes hunting way too often.  In my quest, I came across KidOFit.  I was able to partner with them last year and the boys have absolutely loved their KidOFit shoes Read more [...]

  Thank you to Mello & Co. for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Well, our littlest one is now 5 months old.  She is growing so fast and it's bitter-sweet since she will most likely be our last biological child.  (While the doctor recommended no more pregnancies for me since we've had 4 c-sections and he was concerned about my uterus, we would absolutely love to adopt.  However time will tell what the future holds.)

  Thank you to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway as well as my review copy.  All opinions are 100% my own and not influenced by monetary compensation.   I find great joy when I see toys, books, and even food that I enjoyed and loved as a child still popular today.  It's so much fun telling my own children about my experiences when I was young and they enjoy hearing about things we have in common.  One of those endearing commonalities happens to be The Read more [...]

  Thank you to Dots On Tots for providing me with the following products, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Our little girl is growing fast.  It's hard to believe but I've had to pack away a bunch of her little clothes and accessories already!  She was just beginning to outgrow her warm Winter hat when our Dots On Tots package arrived just in time for a cold snap here in Minnesota.  As soon as I saw who the package was from, I excitedly opened it.  The eco-friendly Read more [...]

  Thank you to Jack & Lily for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. From newborn on, I really like shoes on kids.  While some may not think they are entirely necessary for infants, I have found them to be quite useful.  Baby socks tend to fall off as babies kick their feet.  Shoes prevent this from happening.  And let's face it, shoes are completely adorable on kids of all ages.  However, one thing I've discovered is that not all shoes Read more [...]

  Thank you to Cotton Babies for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I've been cloth diapering for over a year and have tried out many different brands.  While we have loved some, liked others, and flat out disliked others, there are a couple that get run through rotation more than the rest.  Out of those, two diapers that are guaranteed to be in the diaper pail at the end of the day are my Bum Genius 4.0 diapers.  I already had the Audrey Read more [...]

  Thank you to Star Kids for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Transporting the kids in a vehicle is a necessary evil since we live out in the country.  Nothing is in walking distance except the great outdoors.  This also means we are nowhere near public transportation.  So I load the kids up and we head out when necessary.  Sometimes, the kids get bored.  Our current vehicle does not have a DVD player so they have no choice but to entertain Read more [...]
