Thank you to Radz for sending Smooshy Mushy 4 in 1 Blind Bags in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. There is just something about collections that makes me reminisce. My husband collected coins when he was younger. I collected volkswagen beetle toys and like many others of the 90's era - Beanie Babies. Right now it seems like collecting tiny toys/objects is popular. My daughter is happily jumping on the tiny toy collection bandwagon. When I gifted her some Radz Smooshy Mushy Read more [...]

Thank you to Precious Moments for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My daughter is a "girly girl". She's three years-old and loving everything pink and frilly! It's funny because I was never what you would call a "girly girl". I was an only child and my parents had a deal - mom could dress me up in pink and dresses until I was three - then I was dad's. Dad had me doing all kinds of 'boy' things like hunting, fishing, and playing every sport with me that I showed Read more [...]

Thank you to Gentleman's Box for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. My husband is hard to shop for, and since we just recently finished celebrating Christmas, I was at a loss as to what to give him for Valentine's Day. Gift giving is my love language, so it's important to me to find personal gifts he'll really love and use. One thing he seems to be lacking in right now are clothes and accessories for dressy occasions. We attend a few weddings, banquets, and other events during Read more [...]

I received a copy of this game at no cost to facilitate an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own. We're always looking for new and fun games to play as a family! While we have two young kids, we often visit my parents and my siblings come home for long weekends. During these times, we love to play some games when the kids go to sleep each night. Trivia games tend to be our favorites, and we can get pretty competitive! When I heard about the game Are You Dumber Than a Box of Rocks?, Read more [...]

Thank you to DoorFoto for providing me with a sample to facilitate this post.  As usual, all opinions are my own. When I used to do daycare, I would go all out when decorating.  The walls and doors would be beautifully decorated for every occasion.  But over the years, I've tired with how difficult it is to keep construction paper and plastic decorations adhered.  So I've kind of given up.  But just recently, I was introduced to a new way to decorate the doors in your life.  And I think you're Read more [...]

Thank you to Godai for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. Since giving birth to our daughter five years ago, I've been phasing out as many chemicals as possible from our home. Before having kids I honestly didn't consider the toxic ingredients we were putting in and on our bodies, but when our daughter was born with very sensitive skin I started to realize it was an issue. I'd always thought I had asthma because when we'd clean our apartment I'd get very wheezy and have trouble Read more [...]
