Evenflo Symphony DLX All-in-one Car Seat Review
*I was provided with an Evenflo Symphony DLX car seat. All opinions are my own.
Kelsie turned seven months old this week, and although she's petite for her age at about 15lbs, her infant car seat that she had used from birth was really bulky and heavy. I went to the mall with her and her mom when she was about six weeks old and I couldn't believe how heavy her car seat was even without her in it. If it had been me carrying the seat regularly, I would have been looking for a new one early on. Read more [...]
Playtown – An Open Ended App For Kids
*I was compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.
As a kid, my favorite types of games were ones that I got to feel like I was a part of. I liked the feeling of having my brain engaged in a playful way. I didn't care for games that were more basic, requiring you to do a, then b, then c without much thought involved.

They're shaped almost like Read more [...]

The entire grand prize package is valued at $6000! It sounds incredible to me. I've never even been on a plane before so that alone would be a fun Read more [...]
Tips For Finding The Right Costume For Your Pet
*I was provided with Petco costumes in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
1) Measure your pet and use the size chart before buying. Weight is usually the worst way to estimate a fit for your dog because a 25lb dog can come in SO many shapes and sizes. Also, because chest size and length are bigger factors than height, sometimes really tall dogs wear smaller sizes and short, sturdy dogs (like pugs or french bulldogs) wear larger sizes. It's best to just measure to be sure.
