Cubbie Lee Toys Review

A huge thank you to Cubbie Lee Toys for sending product in exchange for my honest opinion.
Cubbie Lee Toys was founded by Zach and Sarah Lee. When they had their first child they quickly became aware of how difficult it was to get good quality toys that were still affordable. They wanted toys that provided educational value, were heaps of fun, and that last. Zach and Sarah decided to take matters into their own hands and the Cubbie Lee Toy Company was born. The name comes from their beloved Read more [...]
GPS Origins DNA Ancestry Test Kit Review

I was provided with a GPS Origins DNA test kit for review. All opinions are my own.
I usually have a hard time coming up with birthday gift ideas for Ryan. He isn't a very materialistic person, and he doesn't have any hobbies that require regular purchases. For the most part, it seems like he has the things he wants because he just doesn't want much.

SmartMax Magnetic Discovery Play Sets + Giveaway (US) 6/5

Kids love magnetic toys. I actually have a vivid memory of back when I was in preschool about them even. (Well, that and the time I kissed a boy and he told on me.......lol.) Anyway, one day, the teacher had a variety of magnets and materials that we got to test out. She even showed us some metal filings that she could move from underneath the pan by utilizing a magnet. It was a really fun day and I always wished I could have my very own magnets to play with. While that didn't happen, Read more [...]
