Thanks so much to The Spa Girl Life for sending me these wonderful candles and crystals. As always, all opinions are my own. Self-care is pretty hard to come by these days, at least in my house. What I used to do to get a little break was spend a few hours at Caribou Coffee each week, catching up on blog emails and just decompressing alone. Unfortunately with Covid-19, that's no longer possible and I've had to become creative to get a little time alone! When I heard about The Spa Girl Life, I Read more [...]

Thank you to Baiden Mitten for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. For as long as I can remember, my daughter has had "bumpy skin". The bumps kind of resemble a cross between a pimple and a goosebump. Over the years, we have talked with multiple pediatricians about them. They have each given us different diagnoses and treatment plans. We have tried special creams, oral prescriptions, and elimination diets. Nothing has significantly helped. Here Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Even though the 4th of July has passed, in times like these, I think it is especially important to show off your patriotism. It was no surprise to me that my husband chose the Freedom box this month when it was time to pick his SprezzaBox. Each SprezzaBox has a theme. The Freedom box notes: "Vintage Americana is a classic that never goes out of style. Simply add denim to create your ultimate summer look". Read more [...]

I received books from Rextooth Studios to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Summer is half over but that doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel and let the screens rule.  If you're looking for a way to provide screen-free entertainment for your kids, I highly suggest you check out Rextooth Studios graphic novels.  They've turned my boys into book lovers and I often find their noses buried in a book these days!

I received product in exchange for this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Where are my amazon shoppers!?!  While I first resisted online shopping when it became a 'thing', I am completely smitten over the ease of buying it offers these days.  It was especially helpful when our state went on lockdown and stores were limited.  But even with things back open, I find myself cruising the online world for great products and today, I'm excited to share three new ones I recently found on Amazon Read more [...]

Thank you to Homech for providing product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. As a nurse, I understand the necessity of heat therapy for certain ailments. So, it may come as a surprise to you that until very recently, I did not own a heating pad! In the past I had used a 'corn bag' to heat in the microwave and place on any area of the body that needed heat. Now, with my new Homech Heating Pad, I no longer have to rely on my little old corn bag! This Homech Heating Pad is truly Read more [...]

Thank you to Basic Man for providing product in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. "Basics That Will Change Your Life" For $19.99 Per Month - Delivered To Your Doorstep. I'll start this post by saying I wish there was a company called Basic WOMAN that delivered a bra, panties and socks to my doorstep for $19.99 per month (what a deal that would be!) but I think I'll have to keep dreaming on that one! My husband has gotten a few Basic MAN sets now and he has fallen in love with Read more [...]

There is a sponsored link in this post. Thanks to Name Stories for sending me these beautiful personalized prints. As always, all opinions are my own. How interested were you in the origin of your name as you were growing up? When I was in elementary school, I remember asking my parents why they picked my name and what it meant. After that, I received a little name card that had the definition of Amber and some character traits, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! For a long time I Read more [...]

Thank you to Yoobi for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Like many of you, we finished the school year with remote learning. Every day, my daughters logged into their school program to receive their lessons for the day, completed them, and participated in group video chats. It wasn't always easy, but they got it done. As they finished the school year, it became pretty clear to me, that we needed to set-up dedicated work zones for the girls Read more [...]
