Thank you to Educating AMY for sending Busy Books for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  The older my children get, the less I like screen time! Experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend no screen time until babies are 18 months-old. They also recommend limiting screen time to less than an hour until children are at least five years old. However, kids are spending more time on screens than ever before and this can result in all kinds Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending boxes each month for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband has been receiving SprezzaBoxes for more than three years now. He has received a large variety of items in his subscription each month. A neat feature of SprezzaBox vs. some other subscription boxes is that SprezzaBox allows him to pick his own box each month. He will get an email saying "It's time to choose your box" and with just a couple clicks he can see what his options are and choose Read more [...]

Thank you to Walton Wood Farm for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  Summer is the perfect time to pamper yourself and make your skincare a top priority! I admittedly have not the best at taking care of my skin. I'm usually a 'less is more' kind of girl. Now that I am 32 and wrinkles are starting to appear (coupled with my cancer diagnosis), lately I have been much better about taking care of my skin. Walton Wood Farm products have been helping keep my skin soft Read more [...]

Thank you to Stonz for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. 

Here in the upper midwest we are having temperatures normally reserved for July and August and they began in early June. Thankfully, I was able to partner with Stonz, and review their Sunsuit and Shoreline Shoes. Now, I don't need to slather my little red-headed guy with sunscreen from head to toe! As you can see the Sun Suit is a little big on my 2.5 year old. He usually wears a 24 month/2T right now, Read more [...]

Thanks to Nixplay for sending me this frame. As always, all opinions are my own. 

With Father's Day and summer holidays right around the corner, it's time to get those last minute gifts! My husband is incredibly difficult to shop for because he never "needs" anything. This year, I decided to gift him with a digital picture frame from Nixplay with photos from all of our family trips. He works so hard so that I'm able to stay home with our kids while they're young, and that's invaluable to Read more [...]

I was sent a pair of glasses from DiscountGlasses.com for review. All opinions are my own.

I was surprised to learn that basic medicare doesn't include vision insurance. My dad is in his mid 70's and his only income is social security. He's worn glasses for decades. Since retiring from his job and switching from employer-provided insurance to medicare, he's only got new glasses twice! 

When you don't have vision coverage and need bifocals or progressive lenses, it can be quite expensive. Read more [...]

Thank you to Photowall for sending a beautiful family portrait canvas in exchange for my honest opinion in this review.     Whenever I am looking to gift someone a canvas photograph wall hanging or am looking to update the one in my home, I turn to Photowall.  We just had our family portraits taken a few weeks ago - right after I was diagnosed with cancer. I wanted an updated family portrait before I looked different (I knew a port scar and bald head were looming). So, Read more [...]

Bright spring colors are my absolute favorite right now, and this Pastel Bouquet brightened up our kitchen table!
