Thanks to Buddha Board for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. Have you reached the point in summer where your kids are saying "I'm bored!" all day? We've been pretty busy this summer, but I've still heard the dreaded b-word a few times. My kids know that I'm not going to constantly sit down and occupy them, but they do need help finding something to do every once in awhile. On top of that, sometimes they're around each other so much in the summer that they start to get frustrated Read more [...]

Thank you to Naipo for sending me this shoulder massager. As always, all opinions are my own. If you've been following the blog for awhile, you know that my husband is a commercial electrician. That means he's on his feet eight hours a day, wearing a twenty pound tool belt around his waist. As you can imagine, that's hard on his back and neck, and he comes home with knots in his shoulders all the time. I turned to Naipo for their Shiatsu Shoulder Massager and it's made a world of difference for Read more [...]

Thank you to Empress Mimi for sending me this beautiful lingerie set. As always, all opinions are my own. My 10 year wedding anniversary is quickly approaching this year, and I realized that I haven't purchased any true lingerie since before we were married! Now I'll be honest; with two young kids in the house (and often in our bed!), lingerie is not really at the top of my list of priorities. That being said, I think it's important to keep things fun in the bedroom. As we plan a weekend getaway Read more [...]

Thank you to Coconut Float for sending me these pool floats. As always, all opinions are my own. We're in the middle of the perfect Minnesota summer-lots of heat, and the best beach weather we could ask for! Our kids are both big time water babies, and they ask to go to the beach daily. We've also got close friends with a large pool, so we visit them a couple times a summer to enjoy that also! This year our kids are getting big enough to enjoy pool floats, and Coconut Float came through with some Read more [...]

Thank you to Danner for sending me these boots. As always, all opinions are my own. My husband is a commercial electrician and one of the biggest necessities in his line of work is a good pair of work boots. He needs boots that are comfortable, supportive, and made of high quality materials so they'll last a long time. This past year I worked with Danner to outfit my husband with a pair of warm winter boots, and he absolutely loves them. I turned to Danner again when I learned that they have a Read more [...]

I received product to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Have you ever taken a long car trip with your family?  My husband and I braved it two summers ago when we headed from Minnesota to Kentucky to visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.  It was about a 13 or 14 hour drive each way.  On the way down, we drove through the night.  But on the way home, we actually took off about noon and then drove straight through again.  The key to getting through a road trip Read more [...]

Thank you to WubbaNub for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. I was first introduced to WubbaNub when my friend received one at her baby shower. If you are not familiar with them, WubbaNubs are a plush toy attached to a pacifier. They were invented by a mompreneuer named Carla Schneider when she was desperate to soothe her newborn son, who would fuss whenever his pacifier fell out. She had an "aha moment" and sewed a plush toy to his pacifier Read more [...]

I received product in exchange for this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. It’s beginning to get a lot warmer around here and definitely starting to look like summer. That means the kids have been spending a lot more time outdoors.  And with the recent delivery of their new Globber Primo 3-Wheel Scooter, exciting times are ahead for some ‘wheely’ amazing outdoor adventures.  Everyone knows that coaxing your children to put down the remote or the tablet and head outside to play Read more [...]

Thank you to TOMY for sending a Doodle Bear for review in exchange for my honest opinion. #tomytoy ~  #DoodleBear ~  #retro I was a child of the 90's. I vividly remember my Doodle Bear. I loved coloring on him and then washing him and decorating him again. When I got the chance to partner with TOMY Toys to review a new The Original Doodle Bear with my three-year-old daughter, I was excited for the opportunity! My daughter loves critters and 'stuffies'. She was over the moon when she Read more [...]

Thanks to Airfree for sending me this air purifier. As always, all opinions are my own. This winter our previously co-sleeping daughter moved into her very own bedroom! We built her a loft bed and she's been sleeping on her own for a few months now. While she's loved it, we originally had a few issues with her having rough sleep due to allergies. She was getting nosebleeds multiple times a month and snoring while she slept. As you can imagine, nosebleeds in a loft bed are not much fun! I turned Read more [...]
