I was sent products from Kidtastic for my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. There are 11 days til Christmas! While there is still time for standard shipping from some sites, we're nearing that "last minute" stage. I've been an Amazon prime member for about a decade now - so my go-to for last-minute gift shopping is Amazon. It's hard to beat that two-day shipping option! Kidtastic is a brand of toys that is available on Amazon, so these are Read more [...]

I received product from APOSEN to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Years ago when my husband and I first got married, we were gifted a small hand-held vacuum.  It was something we'd registered for and I couldn't have been happier.  I loved that little vacuum and used it all the time.  But sadly, after about 5 years, it quit charging.  Ever since, I've been on the hunt for a comparable replacement.  I've purchased several little vacuums but all came up short.  So Read more [...]

I received product from Lugz to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Well, it's official!  Winter is here to stay in Minnesota.  We've already gotten a few snowstorms and the snow hill in front of our house is piling up.  While the kids are LOVING it, my husband and I are less pleased with this white fluffy stuff.  The snow makes life quite a bit harder on the farm.  It's more work to get to the bags to feed.  More hours spent pushing snow and clearing paths to barns, Read more [...]

I was sent an Innova diagnostic tool for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. Honestly? I know very little about vehicles. Thankfully, Ryan has always been happy to handle those responsibilities. He didn't grow up learning how to work on cars, but he has taught himself a lot through reading and googling whenever we have problems arise. His commitment to problem-solving (and saving us money by doing repairs himself) is impressive to me. I am excited that I was able to give Read more [...]

Thanks to Peet for sending me this dryer. As always, all opinions are my own. My brother and sister-in-law just purchased their first house a couple weeks ago! While moving in December in Minnesota certainly isn't fun, it does make Christmas shopping a lot easier because there are so many things they need. They've lived in an apartment for the past few years and don't have a lot of the necessities for a house. My sister-in-law had a boot dryer on her list and I immediately thought of Peet! We've Read more [...]

Thank you to Epson for sending product in exchange for my honest opinion. I am still a photo fanatic. I love to take pictures, but since I've had the kids I have not been the best at printing those photos. Having a great photo printer at home makes a huge difference; I love that I can print the pictures and frame them within minutes. Epson has the perfect gift to give yourself or for the photo-lover on your list: the Expression Premium XP-6100. Whether printing favorite photos to hang Read more [...]

I was sent samples from Nugg. All opinions are my own. When you walk through the beauty gift section of most stores you see lots of cutsie items for the holidays. I always wonder which ones are quality and which ones are just made to look cute and aren't all that. I've received some Christmas themed holiday gift sets in the past where the lotion was really greasy, the nail polish was almost like school glue, the lip gloss was super sticky, etc. So, when buying beauty-related gifts or gift sets Read more [...]
