This is a sponsored blog post with BestCanvas.Ca. Mother's day is about a month away. In some ways it feels like 2020 has been a really long year already, and in others, it's hard to believe it's already April. The world just feels strange right now, and I for one am not sure what to expect the future to look like as we go farther into 2020. However, I think it's certainly possible that we will all still be sheltering in place for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this may mean that we may not be able Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post with Carex. All opinions are my own. In my house, the most common form of pain seems to be joint pain. Ryan's knees ache after long days, or when the weather changes. I have pain less often, but when I do, it's usually in my shoulder after sleeping with my arm up. It can be tricky to try to relief joint pain without taking meds because joints move and are difficult to keep covered. You can use a heating pad or an ice pack on a joint if you stay perfectly still and don't Read more [...]

I was sent a weighted blanket and cover for review. All opinions are my own. I was officially diagnosed with anxiety when I was 13, though I think I was pretty much born a nervous nelly. For most of my life I've slept okay, I certainly don't think I have true insomnia or anything...but I've never been able to fall asleep quicky. Falling asleep within 20 minutes or so of laying down is a win for me, while 30-40 minutes is probably more my norm. When I've had a really high anxiety day, it sometimes Read more [...]

I received product to facilitate this post about '5 Reasons Why Sleep Is Vitally Important To YOU'.  As always, all opinions are my own. Sleep is a vital part of life for everyone.  However, sometimes I forget how important until I'm lacking.  But did you realize that a person's overall wellbeing and health can be directly linked to adequate sleep?  Getting adequate rest may also help work to prevent excess weight gain, heart disease, and increased illness duration. 5 Read more [...]

These liquid cells make these cushions comfortable to sit on for extended periods, because they keep blood flow below the tail bone and thighs.   My dad has prostate cancer and sometimes Read more [...]

Amberwing Organic's sent me their Pets CBD oil for review. This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. CBD seems to be all the rage right now. I've tried some CBD products for humans and have been uncertain if I see any clear benefits or not. I have a 15-year-old pug, Frank, who has late-stage arthritis. It's so bad that he hasn't been able to walk on his on the last few months. The arthritis causes him to stay so tight that he can't relax his back legs fully so they stay in unnatural positions Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post with Sweet Zzz mattress. All opinions are my own. I first heard about weighted blankets when I was studying early childhood education in college, around 2009 or 2010. At that time-weighted blankets were discussed as a calming tool for children with autism and/or sensory processing disorder. At least, that's the only time I had ever heard of them being discussed, and they were talked about alongside weighted vests, sensory swings and similar items that most people without Read more [...]
