Thank you Ergobaby for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. The best part of having children is obviously spending quality time with them, doing lots of fun activities as a family, seeing them discover the world around them. One of the best ways to make sure babies and children are part of the action is to carry them in a baby carrier. Not only is it super practical (hands free and no bulky stroller to bring along), it's Read more [...]

*I was provided with product from Lamaze. All opinions are my own. When I look at toys to purchase, I often choose ones that lend themselves into fulfilling children's natural desires for playing or exploring. For example, Kelsie is in a stage where she likes to put objects into containers like bins or cups and then pull them back out, one at a time. I've seen several other babies go through this phase in the past. Yet, I hadn't seen many toys cater to this desire that older babies or younger Read more [...]

Thank you to Sunuva for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Summer is finally here in Minnesota and we have been enjoying the warmer temps.  The kids insisted on dragging the pool out and have spent days playing with the water hose already.  This is definitely a welcomed change from the parkas we were sporting about a month ago.  The change in season also means a change in wardrobe.  The kids spend many days in their swimwear during the Summer Read more [...]

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Huggies. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. My niece Kelsie is now 14 months old and she is all over the place. It doesn't seem like she has been walking for very long but she can get from point-a to point-b in the blink of an eye. Kelsie started walking a little bit soon after her birthday, but it was a few weeks later before she completely gave up crawling Read more [...]

Thank you to Cozy Cover for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.  For those who have been following my posts and reviews, you already know that we are expecting Baby #5.  I am starting to compile a list of products that will be useful once our little one arrives and plan to share them during the duration of my pregnancy.  Today, I want to share some great products from the company Cozy Cover. It's no secret that babies need their diapers changed, Read more [...]

Thank you to Thule for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.  It seems like almost all children love the outdoors.  I did daycare for five years and the kids and I would spend the better part of each day outdoors, weather permitting.  Back then, my daycare was located near a paved trail and the troops and I would take walks daily.  While I am now a stay-at-home wife/farmer/homeschooling mom, I still like to be outside as often as possible.  We Read more [...]

Thank you to i play., Inc. for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I finally came across reusable swim diapers when our third child was about a year old.  Until then, I had been spending a small fortune on the well-known brand of disposable swim diapers.  Even though I had tried to save them between pool visits at the hotels, they would be kind of yucky and I'd end up grabbing a new one with each visit anyway.  I don't know how I missed out on Read more [...]

Thank you to Nui Organics for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. With four young children, there always seems to be someone in this house who needs some new clothes.  I've especially noticed that my boys are tougher on their clothes than our daughter ever was.  If there is a mud puddle, our youngest will find it.  If there is a bucket of water, mud pies will be made.  And while our middle son is an exceptionally neat eater, the other two boys Read more [...]
