Thank you to Bogs Footwear for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  For years I have struggled with finding truly waterproof winter boots for my kids. Something that I try to keep in mind while sopping for footwear for my littles is a flexible sole, with winter boots that's really tough. Luckily I found Bogs Footwear and haven't had to look any further as all of my expectations are met with Bogs. Michigan winters get really cold and really Read more [...]

Thank you Schleich for sending a sample for my gift guide. All opinions are my own. I first learned about Schleich animal toys when I was working in a preschool for 3 and 4 year olds. We used the toys to teach kids about animals because they were so realistic. The kids loved using them as props while reading books, for doing 'small world' play and more. Since then I've purchased Schleich toys for kids in my family several times. My one niece loves to pretend-play with animals and she owns Read more [...]

Thanks to Mr. Heater for sending me this great portable heater. As always, all opinions are my own. I don't know about you, but I find the men in my life to be the hardest to shop for during the holidays. One thing my dad, brother, and husband all have in common is hunting. They all love being outdoors and especially enjoy deer hunting in November. As you can imagine, though, some years they get pretty cold out in the stand and I thought a portable heater from Mr. Heater would be the perfect gift Read more [...]
