This is a sponsored post in partnership with BraVoMark and EasyCanvasPrints.com. There are so many special events that happen in the summer! Kids are out of school so you're taking their pictures more. Swimming, sleepovers, bonfires, camping, weddings, Father's day, 4th of July, days at the beach, vacations, amusement park visits - the list goes on. We just celebrated Father's day yesterday, and got a photo with my Dad for the first time in a couple of years! We just aren't always great Read more [...]

I was provided with this African Sunflower Wreath by CSI Soundcore to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. I've always wanted a welcoming entry to our home.   And honestly, it's taken many years to get to that point.  When we first bought the farm from my husbands parents, the entry way actually had a wall down the center of it.  This made it a tight cramped place where there was literally nowhere to go or space to be had for removing coats and shoes.  So the very first thing we Read more [...]

Thank you to Cupbuzz for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Now that I'm pregnant, and it's summertime, I am trying really hard to stay well hydrated. I am admittedly not as good at at staying hydrated and drinking water as I should be. As a nurse, I am well aware of the health benefits of staying well hydrated. One problem is, I don't care for water that isn't cold. I was excited to partner with Cupbuzz to create a custom tumbler that I can use at home and on the Read more [...]

Thank you to Sprezza Box for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. These days you can get a subscription box that has products to please just about anyone. I love the element of surprise you get with a subscription box. I have reviewed boxes that include gardening items and children's toys in the past, and today, I got the chance to partner with SprezzaBox to showcase a couple of their men's accessory subscription boxes. If you are not familiar with SprezzaBox, Read more [...]

Thank you to A Mustard Seed Toys for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I love toys that are not electronic - and that help foster our daughter's imagination. At two and a half, she loves to play pretend. I was happy to partner with A Mustard Seed Toys to check out their canvas kids teepee and teepee lights. As you can see from the photos, my daughter has used and enjoyed this teepee both inside and outside. It is made of thick canvas and is very durable. Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West subscription for this review. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. In February I did my first Nadine West review. I am excited that from now on, I'll be doing monthly reviews. I was happy with my first experience, but I was sure to give feedback on each item I was sent from my Nadine West account. This way, the service will continue to customize their shipments to my preferences. I was eager to see what this month's bag would include. I lucked Read more [...]

Thank you to Lucid Audio for sending HearMuffs Sounds for review in exchange for my honest opinion. As a nurse, I am keenly aware of the impact loud sounds have on our ears. From a young age, we need to be sure to protect our children's ears. My husband enjoys going to auto races with his friend and our daughter loves to go along. We bought her a pair of inexpensive ear muffs last year to cancel the noise of the loud race cars, but I was impressed with the features of HearMuffs so I was excited Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post with CouponsMonk. All opinions are my own. I was living with Ryan in our first apartment at age 18. Living alone at such a young age was exciting, but also a little intimidating. Money was extremely tight for the first few years in particular. I was a "saver" even as a little kid. I didn't usually get an allowance, but I'd save my money from my birthday in June, all the way through til Christmas! I always made sure I didn't spend all of my money between those two events Read more [...]

Thank you to HoMedics for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I have been eying up an at home foot spa for many years. Recently, I got the chance to partner with HoMedics to try out their Shower Bliss Foot Spa. The whole family was excited to try it out!  The other night we decided to have a spa night while we watched a movie together. I filled up the foot spa with warm water in the bathroom then used the handle to carry it to the living room for our our spa night. Read more [...]

Thank you to notes to self for sending product in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. notes to self socks were made to share the power of positive thinking. Laura Schmidt created notes to self socks after she read a book that described how the subconscious mind is most open early in the morning and late at night. She thought, "What if I put positive affirmations on the toes of socks? Then, at least twice a day, the person wearing them would be training their mind to think more positive Read more [...]
