Every parent wants their kids to look cute and sleep well!  Or at least I know that's what I want.  As a mom, I love finding adorable things for our kiddos to wear and get especially excited when I come across adorable boy clothes.  (I didn't realize until I had boys how hard they could be to shop for!)  But what's a cute kid if the entire house isn't getting any sleep!?!  Now I've found a company that offers all that and more!  With today's 2016 Holiday Gift Guide stopping at Sleeping Baby, Read more [...]

Just in time for the cool weather, today's Holiday Gift Guide stop brings us to American Widgeon Kids!  Since I don't much care for Winter with all the bundling up and slushy ground, I try to make it more bearable by finding fun outerwear and accessories.  And I especially love stylish coats! I recently came across American Widgeon and immediately fell in love with their unique and gorgeous styles and I'm super excited to partner with them! When I was going over the options over at Widgeon Read more [...]

As I continue on my search for the best gifts for Christmas 2016, I turned my attention to Eco Vessel.  I've been using a variety of their bottles for years and have absolutely loved the choices they offer.  Since I do enjoy giving functional gifts that I know will get used, loved, and appreciated, a high quality water bottle always comes to my mind.  I always hear about how people are not drinking enough water these days but I find that it's much easier for my family to get in the suggested amount Read more [...]

Along with the holiday season in November and December comes many traditions.  Christmas especially holds a dear place for many.  It's magical and exciting while also a very important time for our family as we celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th.  We've done many different things over the years including: a treasure hunt to find presents on Christmas morning, baking a birthday cake, giving each child 3 gifts to represent the Wise Men's offerings, deliver cookies to the local nursing Read more [...]

The world today is filled with technology, electronics, and gadgets.  While I could never claim to be real great at Science and Technology in school, it's now such an important part of every day life that it's truly important to introduce kids to these concepts fairly early.  Thankfully, there are some great companies that have created awesome products that encourage learning while having fun and I'm excited to part with Circuit Scribe to share a review with you.

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Do you get gel nails? I haven't tried them yet, but I've been wanting to for a few months. I first learned about gel manicures from a YouTube channel that I follow. I liked the finished look and she was raving about how quickly they dried, and how long they lasted. I've heard many people say that gel manicures can last for up to three weeks! I'm not very careful and I don't have a dishwasher so my nail polish is usually pretty chipped by day 3 Read more [...]

The air has been turning colder here in Minnesota but I'm so thankful for the days when the sun still shines bright.  As I sit here today and watch the leaves swirling down in the Fall breeze, I can't help but think about how fast this year has gone.  Just about two weeks ago, the kids and I went through the closets and packed or gave away all the clothes that they outgrew as well as most of their summer items.  So now it's time to don the long sleeves, pants, and sweaters.  I even picked up Read more [...]

Thank you Koogeek for sending us a Smart Thermometer for review! Being a nurse (and a mom) I know how important body temperature can be in assessing illness. It is imperative that you trust your thermometer, as you are relying on it to help you make decisions in the care of your sick loved one. I can't believe how many of my patients tell me they do not have a thermometer at home. I feel that a thermometer is a tool that every family should have. There are so many styles and choices, Read more [...]
