Funds2Org Unique Fundraising For Organizations

*This is a sponsored post written in partnership with the Bloggy Moms Network and Funds2Org. All opinions are my own. Now that school is back in session, many of us are being hit up to purchase from fundraisers. As a kid I participated in fundraisers for school, girl scouts, and sports teams. In each case the money raised provided me with experiences that I may not have been able to have otherwise. We were able to go on field trips, visit museums and buy uniforms. While I always buy from the kids Read more [...]

Doggy Digestion Problems

Warning: This blog post discusses dog digestion and gas. When people find out that I have a female pug named Beans they always ask if she is stinky. While I can see why they might think that based on her name, she isn't usually stinky at all. That hasn't always been the case, though.

Brilliant Sky Toys & Books Brilliance Award + Giveaway (11/1)

Brilliant Sky Toys & Books provided the review & giveaway toys in this blog post. All opinions are my own.

I know I have. I feel that children often feel that they want items that they see repeatedly advertised without really knowing how engaging they will find the item Read more [...]

EC Technology 5W Bluetooth Speaker Review

EC Technology sent me a bluetooth speaker for review. There is a paid link in this post. All opinions are my own. The EC Technology® 5W Enhanced BASS+ Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker, is a really neat device or music lovers. I've never been one to listen to the radio much at all. I love discovering music online and purchasing MP3 files for the individual songs I like and then listening to my mp3 player. I have a pair of bookshelf speakers I got from a review on MusicCritic that is more than enough Read more [...]
