Thank you to Bright Starts for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I went on the search for some fun interactive toys to put under the tree for our toddler this Christmas.  He turned 2 in June and is too old for "baby" toys but can't quite work all the pieces and parts of the big boy toys.  So I turned to Bright Starts and their collection of fun, eye-catching toys. The first product I received is the Bright Starts 3-in-1 Step & Ride Read more [...]

Thank you to Foxy Vida for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I love diaper bags and purses.  Since we have five kids now, with two in diapers, my main obsession has been finding a diaper bag that will work for us with our newest addition.  While I absolutely love cloth diapering, disposables take up much less room in the diaper bag.  So, with two in cloth, I have been struggling to find a bag that can hold all our necessities for a full day Read more [...]

Thank you to Olie for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. The days are getting shorter and the weather is cooling down fast here in Minnesota.  When it's almost dark by 5 pm, I know Winter is coming fast.  So I'm starting to prepare by getting our Winter gear organized.  That typically includes hats, gloves, boots, coats, scarves, and more.  However, this year will be a little different.  This year, we'll be using Olie's Minkeys.  The Minkey Read more [...]

    Thank you Chicco Canada for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. It can be a challenge to find a stroller that lets you go where you actually want to go. Sometimes the wheels are too small and can't handle rough terrain. Sometimes the stroller is too wide and will become cumbersome in crowded spaces. Sometimes the stroller itself is just too heavy to lug around and stow in the car. The Activ3 from Chicco actually tackles Read more [...]

Thank you to Little Me for providing the following products, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. With a new little on in the house again, I was searching for adorable and unique clothes and came across Little Me.  I loved the fact that they are on a mission to provide comfortable, quality, and unique clothes for the littlest ones through toddlerhood.  Their claim is to never use any "adult" materials such as tweed, leather, or stiff fabrics that would be harsh on delicate Read more [...]

Thank you to Adora Dolls for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. While our oldest daughter grew up with "bear", my boys have always loved dolls.  After learning that a baby sister was on the way, though, our daughter started enjoying dolls too.  Even now that the (real) baby is here,  all four of our older kids, ages 2 through 9, play dolls almost daily.  What dolls do they choose?  They all like to reach for their Adora Dolls. Our 7 year old Read more [...]
