Thank you to PBS Distribution for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I've said it before, but we love PBS in our home. It's the only channel our daughter is allowed to watch. She has fallen in love with many of the characters and we love that she is learning while watching. Earlier this summer I featured PBS Distribution’s Newest Releases ~ Children’s Shows on DVD. Now, I am excited to partner with PBS again to share with you four of their new fall releases: Arthur Read more [...]

I received product in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own. Are you familiar with Ben 10?  We don't even have any television stations and my kids are still big Ben 10 fans.  Because, let's face it, what kid wouldn't get excited about playing pretend with a 10 year old boy who can turn himself into 10 different alien heroes!?!  This super-powered kid brings super excitement to any imaginative play kids whip up.  Starting back with the Rustbucket Vehicle Playset we got last year, Read more [...]

Thank you to Wall Charmers for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband and I recently built a large shed on our property. It is my husband's dream shed and includes a loft space that will become his 'Man Cave'. Lately I have been on the lookout for fun decor pieces to add to his new space. When I came across Wall Charmers I was instantly intrigued. Even though my husband and I are both hunters, I do love the idea of "no harm, all charm" animal friendly decorations Read more [...]

Thank you to Tempur-Pedic for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. If you regularly read the blog, you know that recently I've been trying some products to improve our family's sleep. I know that pillows can make a big difference in sleep, so I was excited to get the chance to partner with Tempur-Pedic to try out their new TEMPUR-Adapt® pillows for my husband and I. Tempur-Pedic has a pillow for every sleep preference. Their pillows use TEMPUR® Technology Read more [...]

Thank you to SoapSox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   It's no secret, my daughter is a huge SoapSox fan! Since we got to review her first SoapSox character Ava the Dolphin about a year ago, she hasn't taken a bath without her. Last winter we added Nemo to our bathtime pals and now the newest additions to our SoapSox menagerie are Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Mickey was meant to be for her little brother this fall, but she's having a great time with Mickey while Read more [...]

I received a pair of Phaser Shoes from Lugz to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Are you starting to prepare for back to school yet?  Even though we homeschool, it's still a busy time of year.  We still need to get many of the typical supplies.  And after a summer in shorts and sandals, that also means some new clothes and footwear.  It always amazes me at how fast the kids seem to grow in three months!  Their jeans are all flood pants and none of their sneakers seem to fit Read more [...]

Sending a big thank you to GrooveLife for providing me with GrooveLife Silicone Wedding Rings to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. My husband has been saying for years that he wished he had a wedding ring that he could actually wear.  Sadly, I spent almost $1,000 on the fancy band with diamonds for him back when we got married.  But he's a farmer.  So it would be dangerous to have on when working with equipment and doing other manual labor.  Instead, the ring is collecting dust Read more [...]

Thank you to nodpod for providing me with product to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Most of my life, I've had trouble sleeping.  And sadly, our oldest daughter seems to have picked that up from me as well.  I can recall all throughout growing up, not being able to fall asleep at night.  I'd stare at my alarm clock.  Just watching the minutes and hours tick by.  Then, I'd usually crash with an hour or less left before I'd need to be up for school.  It was so hard!  Our oldest Read more [...]

Thank you to Audrey's Bear and Easy Baby Travelers for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   I am always on the lookout for fun and unique baby gift ideas. I give gifts for baby showers as well as each new baby that enters the family or my group of close friends. It gets to be a lot of baby gifts each year! Now that I am pregnant too, I have been doing a lot of research on baby items. I have been getting rid of a ton of things that I had from our daughter and working Read more [...]
