Thank you to Stonz Wear for providing me with the following products, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. The weather is changing here in Minnesota.  The warm days are fewer and further in between now and the nights are getting cold.  My garden is done and we've emptied our planters of flowers and put the pots away for the year.  All of these changes also mean a change in clothing and footwear.  Quality footwear is especially important here in Minnesota where the weather Read more [...]

Thank you to Ingenuity Baby for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Since we recently added our newest little pumpkin to our family, Ingenuity Baby sent us their newly released Travel System for her.  While there are days I wish times were simpler and I could just jump in the car while snuggling our sleeping baby, I know how important car seat/ car safety is and we definitely use a seat instead.  Since our old seat needed to be Read more [...]

*I was provided with Fairy Tales Hair care products to test out. All opinions are my own. My sister Erica & I both had medium-brown hair as babies that turned darker as we grew older. We both stayed pretty bald until about age 2 but we had fairly straight hair as soon as we had hair. So I guess I always imagined that we would both have dark, straight-haired kids someday. When Erica's son Drew had straight blonde hair as a baby it was a little surprise but made sense because I knew that Read more [...]

Thank you to TooTooCuteTutu for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I have come to love and really appreciate the handmade custom outfits that are available.  While I used to think this meant only adorable girls clothing, there are some great options available for boys too.  I came across TooTooCuteTutu and fell in love with all the wonderful creations over in her store.  She hand-makes her items and is dedicated to providing top quality gorgeous Read more [...]

Thank you to Kate Quinn Organics for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. As a mom to a newborn (again), I strive to find quality products that are safe, unique, and high quality.  When it comes to clothing, I also add adorable to that list of requirements and I was thrilled to partner with Kate Quinn Organics to bring you this review and giveaway. I was sent the Long Sleeve Kimono Body Suit and Straight Leg Sugar Plum Pants for our little Read more [...]

Thank you to Little Twig & Sparrow for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. A great pair of comfortable pajamas can mean the difference between a good nights sleep and a restless tossing and turning one.  Towards the end of my pregnancy, there was one night I wore an old pair of pajamas and ended up getting up to change half way through the night because the material was rough and causing me so much discomfort.  As an adult, I was able to identify Read more [...]

Thank you to Baby Mushroom for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. We spend a lot of time on the floor in our home.  A couple years ago, we even bought a new couch that we all hated and spent the next full year with everyone sitting on the floor for everything.  None of us ever sat on the couch, we all disliked it so much!  How we spent over an hour in the store sitting on it and thought it was comfortable escapes me.  I still wonder if we received Read more [...]

Thank you to Wonderful Bambino for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I never would have guessed I'd be a homeschooling, breast feeding,  cloth diapering, organic loving mom.  I grew up with the opposite life.  I was public schooled, bottle fed, and lived most days off of frozen pizzas, chips, and soda.  While there is nothing wrong with either lifestyle, I find it ironic at how much I've changed since I was young. And cloth diapers, are you Read more [...]

#spon: I'm required to disclose a relationship between my blog and MGAE. This could include MGAE providing me with content, product, access or other forms of payment. My niece Kelsie is now 18 months old and she's been eager to play alongside her brother Drew for a few months now. He turned 4 in August and is a really active little guy - he's a pro on his bike and even does jumps on his 3-wheel scooter. Kelsie has shown an interest in Drew's bike and scooter for quite a while now but offering Read more [...]

Thank you to Kalencom New Orleans for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Every new mom deserves a fun, fashionable, and usable diaper bag.  Since we just had baby number five a couple weeks ago, Kalencom New Orleans offered to send me some of their products to celebrate, including their very popular Buckle Bag in Arabesque Jewel print.  This stylish bag has their new matte coating which helps this bag stand up to everything that Read more [...]
