Thank you to Keekaroo for sending me these awesome chairs! As always, all opinions are my own. We're at a transitional time when it comes to meals with our young kids. They're not little enough for high chairs anymore (or at least not to sit comfortably in them) but regular chairs are just too big. They are constantly pushing away from the table, trying to sit up on their knees to get a better position, and spilling food EVERYWHERE. Plus, our table would seat six but only came with four chairs.

Thank you to SwimWays for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My family has been working hard to make healthy food decisions and to increase our daily exercise. It hasn't been easy, but we know the change is needed and worth it. When I began thinking about Easter a couple of months ago, I was dreading the task of coming up with Easter goodies that were in line with our goals. I didn't want my kids to feel like they were being cheated out of Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending product in exchange for my honest opinion. Spring is a great time to clean out closets - out with the old, in with the new. If you are looking to spruce up your own wardrobe or to gift a box full of style to a favorite guy in your life - SprezzaBox has you covered. We've received multiple SprezzaBoxes now. Some hit my husband's style right on the head, others were a bit out of his comfort zone and we have been able to gift some of the pieces to his brothers. Read more [...]

Thanks to Bumbleberry Farms for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. I'm always on the hunt for healthy recipes that my family will love. We eat chicken stir fry fairly often, but I wanted to change it up when I saw beef stir fry meat on sale at our local Fresh Thyme last week. I try to stay away from pre-made sauces because they tend to be super high in sodium and processed ingredients, so I decided to whip up a teriyaki sauce recipe to go with the beef. I like to use honey Read more [...]

Thanks to Kidtastic for sending me these awesome toys. As always, all opinions are my own. Easter is quickly approaching, and I've been looking for alternatives to candy for filling our kids' baskets this year. While we do enjoy a few tasty treats, I find that we are inundated with candy and chocolates after each holiday. Usually I let the kids have a few pieces and then tuck the rest away, but then I end up eating all of it! Since I'm focusing on making better food choices this year, I want to Read more [...]

My kids are getting older and that means they are becoming more aware of.....well....pretty much everything!  No longer can we spell words when we want to say something we don't want them to know.  The simple tricks of hiding behind a door to sneak a candy bar just don't work.  They seem to hear and see everything!  If you're a parent, you know what I'm talking about, right!?  Well, they also notice when things are trending and, of course, want to have cool stuff.  So when I saw that DoorFoto Read more [...]
