Kensington sent me an Orbit Wireless Trackball Mouse for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. If you have someone on your holiday shopping list who uses a computer a lot, the Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball Mouse is a good gift idea to consider. My boyfriend Ryan still uses his desktop computer quite heavily. He does computer programming projects in addition to his regular 9 to 5 job. He also enjoys playing video games in his free time, and he still uses his desktop Read more [...]

Thanks to Stanley for sending me these great products. As always, all opinions are my own. Growing up, Stanley products were a staple in our household. My dad had one of their big green Classic Bottles that he took to work every day. He also had one of their coolers and we used a few of their products camping. As I was considering gift ideas this year, I knew my brother-in-law would love some Stanley products. He works construction and brings his own lunch daily, so a few items immediately came Read more [...]

Thanks to WOW! Stuff for sending me these fun Harry Potter gifts. As always, all opinions are my own. I've been a Harry Potter fan since my pre-teen years, so watching my kids start to get in on the magic is so fun! Our daughter is six and while she's still a bit young for some of the darker parts of the books and movies, she's really gotten into The Sorcerer's Stone and loves Hermione. I'm sure her excitement for Harry Potter will only continue to grow, and I picked out a few gifts that I know Read more [...]

Thank you to Brooklyn Cloth for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband recently lost over 40 pounds. Of course, now most of his wardrobe doesn't fit very well anymore. I was excited to partner with Brooklyn Cloth to get him a new coat and a new pair of jogging/sweat pants that fit! He really likes the fit and the style of these pieces and I am impressed with the quality for the price! He got the black denim jacket with sherpa lining. This jacket is Read more [...]

Thank you to Bogs Footwear for sending product in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. I live in the upper midwest - a pretty snowy area of the country. I have heard that the farmer's almanac is calling for more snow than usual for our area this year. So, if it is right, I am prepared. I am happy to have outfitted every member of our family with a new pair of boots thanks to Bogs Footwear. Although I had heard of Bogs, I had never purchased a pair for myself. I was excited Read more [...]

I received product from SCOTTeVEST to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Do you ever feel like a pack mule when you head out the door?  If you're a parent with younger kids, you probably REALLY understand what I'm talking about.  Diaper bags, gear, extra clothes, snacks, etc.  But even once past that stage, I still like to play it safe and have some extra gear and supplies on me.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I'm just talking about just the basics like a water, sunglasses, Read more [...]
