I partnered with Bright Settings on this sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Yesterday was my sisters 1 year anniversary. It's hard to believe it's been a full year since their wedding already! It was fun to be her bridesmaid and to get to help with planning a little bit. When you're planning a party, decorations are a huge part of setting the mood. When walking into a party or event, the look of the table settings is often the first thing to grab my attention. For example, walking Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West subscription bag for review. All opinion are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. For my July Nadine West subscription, I decided to change my style profile to the 'classic' clothing style. I left my color and print preferences the same. My bag this month included six items and I think it was one of my favorite months overall. I definitely plan to try a few more months of the classic style to see how it goes! The first item in this bag was the only one Read more [...]

Thank you to Order Out of Chaos for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. In many areas of my life I am very "old school" even though I'm only in my 20's! I only got a smart phone last year, and only after my flip phone took a dunk in the tub while I was washing my daughter. I know many people use the calendar option on their phone to keep track of the things they need to do, but I am not one of those people. I prefer a paper planner to organize my life. I partnered Read more [...]

Thank you to AllerEase for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Did you know that "a typical mattress can have 100,000 to 10 million dust mites lurking inside!" Gross! How about the fact that "67% percent of Americans report due to a lack of sleep their health status is either “poor” or “only fair.” Sad, right? Not getting a good night sleep can negatively affect us in so many ways. AllerEase, the leading brand of allergen barrier bedding, Read more [...]

Pentel recently releases a Collector's Edition box of POP Gel Pens. My daughters and I were able to get to try these new colorful pens. Pentel's Read more [...]

For example, their photo blanket is a soft, cuddly fleece blanket that can be printed with your choice of photo. It Read more [...]

Nadine West sent me clothing and accessories in exchange for sharing my honest review. All opinion are my own. By now, you all know I really love getting Nadine West fashion bags. You fill out a style/fashion profile when you sign up. It asks which colors you like and dislike wearing, which type of items you do and don't wear (I asked to not receive bracelets or scarves) and so on. It also asks you to choose from some photos to get a general feeling for your style. I used to get the 'trendy' option, Read more [...]

I was sent an Abba Patio 10 x 10 portable canopy with carrying bag for review. All opinions are my own. We went camping Mother's day weekend with Ryan's family. It rained that weekend and we had planned to have bonfires at night. Thankfully, one of my brother-in-law's had brought a canopy with them that we were able to have a small bonfire under safely. Later while camping it was nice to have for shade, and to just stay out of the rain while eating or sitting outside talking. I thought about Read more [...]

I partnered with Dealspotr on this sponsored post. All opinions are my own. 1.  Wait to order until you need enough to meet the minimum for free shipping. A quick way to waste money when shopping online is placing several small orders and paying for shipping each time. Try to plan ahead so you can wait and place one larger order and have the total value high enough to qualify for the free shipping minimum that most websites offer. 2. Check prices across multiple websites. Particularly for Read more [...]
