A couple years ago we got our sweet little Yorkie named Angel and, shortly after, I discovered PetGiftBox.com.  It made perfect sense to me that a monthly gift box subscription for our furry family member would be a good investment as she loves treats and toys but it was hard for me to get to the store every month or so to pick up new ones.  So having a fun box delivered right to our front door each month has been fun for the entire family and I'm thrilled to partner with PetGiftBox today for this Read more [...]

I was sent an Ovie Massager and I was compensated for this post. All opinions are my own. Last night as we were headed to bed Ryan said "I hope it snows tonight." He's not particularly fond of snow. I knew he was talking about his knee pain. He gets a lot of pain in his legs, primarily in his knee area right before it rains or snows. We assume it has something to do with the atmospheric pressure. I don't have knee pain, but putting in a lot of hours on my computer leaves me with neck and shoulder Read more [...]

I think everyone loves to have a sweet treat every now and then.  While I do tend to stay away from candy much of the time because of the ill effects and unhealthy ingredients, I still can't resist the temptation every now and then.  However, there is now a new choice in town!  A better, safer, and healthier alternative to traditional sweets can be found with Snowflakes Candy! Sending a big thank you to Snowflakes Candy for sending me some of their amazing tins! Snowflakes Candy Mints offer Read more [...]

There are a few mysteries in life that have taken me some time to figure out.  Then, there are others that I'll probably never learn.  However, I've solved the great mystery of "WHERE DO ALL THE SOCKS GO!?!"  Seriously!  For years, I've kept a sock basket for those pesky single socks that have seemed to forever lost their mate.  I just couldn't figure out why it would get fuller and fuller and the loners seemed destined to single-hood forever.  Then, the inevitable happened.  Our front loader Read more [...]

The children in my life, past and present, have such different personalities.  It always amazes me how, even though we feel we've raised all five of our kiddos the same, they are just so different from one another!  It seems like what works for one, doesn't for another and a favorite food for most, is detested by one or two.  However, differences can be a great thing and it's part of the reason why I have so much fun as a mom!  Seeing each personality shine through is amazing and watching the Read more [...]

Thank you to Inapikle for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. You know those days when you're getting ready for a business meeting, look down and notice your shirt has a button falling off. You silent scream at yourself for not carrying a sewing kit with you.

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic. We've had some pretty cold days here in Michigan already. I know it won't be long until there is snow on the ground. I have changed sizes since last summer so I am hoping to update my cold weather gear before winter hits. A coat is at the top of my list. I'd also like some boots and snow pants, though. I try to make time to make snowmen or otherwise Read more [...]
