Thank you Öko Creations for providing me with a product to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring this giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. Öko Creations is a small company that 2 sisters with a love of all things green started back in 2009. They offer many great products made from eco-friendly textiles. Their aim is to replace everyday products such as towels and face cloth that aren't made of organic fabric as well as replace wasteful disposable single-use products such as sanitary Read more [...]

Thank you to Simply Modest Swimwear for providing me with samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Modest Swimwear can be hard to find.  I've actually found it impossible to locate in any stores near us.  A few moms were chatting at a local gathering and we were all frustrated with the fact that we couldn't find the style suits we were looking for.  Not for ourselves or for our daughters.  So I turned to the internet in hopes of locating a suit for our daughter.  I Read more [...]

Thank you Juno Prints for providing me with a custom canvas, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I am always looking for ways to spruce up my walls and change up my decor.  This can be very expensive.  My old "go-to" habit was to change the paint color on my walls.  Unfortunately, I am terrible at choosing colors and never get what I had in mind.  My living room has been painted and repainted multiple times and I have still not been able to manage the color I have pictured Read more [...]

Thank you to Tidy Tots Diapers for providing me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Last week, I shared some cloth diapering myths I've discovered since I started using cloth in January.  Now that I have been using Tidy Tots Cloth Diapers for a couple weeks, I wanted to share more of our thoughts. Tidy Tots Diapers are slim!  With the previous brand I was using, our son always had quite a fluffy butt.  The first time I put our son in Tidy Tots and my husband picked Read more [...]

*There is a referral link in this post. I've kind of been bitten by the subscription box bug. It's so fun to get boxes full of surprise goodies each month. I've enjoyed trying out boxes from various product categories. I had heard great things about Citrus Lane from other bloggers and vloggers, but hadn't tried it out until this month. Citrus Lane is a subscription box for children, based on their age. Items included might include toys, personal care products, accessories and more. The boxes Read more [...]

*I was sent a complimentary Carnivore Club box for review. All opinions are my own. When I first heard of the idea of subscription boxes, I thought it would be a fun way to experience new products. I've tried a few of them, and while I enjoyed being surprised by the items included, I didn't feel like testing or trying each of the products was an experience in itself. I thought Carnivore Club would be the same, but I was interested in giving it a try because I am always up for testing out new foods Read more [...]

*There are affiliate links in this post. BarkBox is a monthly subscription of dog toys & treats that comes in the mail. When you sign up, you tell BarkBox what size dog you have (small, medium or large, based on weight) and then the 15th of each month they mail out your box and a few days later it arrives to you. The boxes usually contain about 5 items in total. This is our fourth time getting the box and each month we've enjoy trying out new products and finding out what surprises were inside Read more [...]

*This post is not sponsored in any way. There are affiliate links in this post. I've heard about so many types of subscription boxes and while the idea of a surprise in the mail sounded fun, the cost of the boxes vs the potential for not liking or being interested in using the products included has scared me off. Well, I won a Bark Box subscription a while back and i've enjoyed it so much that I decided to share my experience with you guys. I was right that the boxes would be a fun surprise Read more [...]

My dad is a pretty simple guy and is happy with what he has. He still doesn't have a cellphone as he prefers his land line. He does have and use a DVD player but that's about as involved as he will get with technology. He doesn't really seem to need or want anything that he doesn't already have so it's really hard to come up with new gift ideas each year that he'll actually use. If I get something too unique he likely just won't use it, so I try to stick to practical gifts that he wants or would Read more [...]
