Thanks to Stanley for sending me these amazing products. As always, all opinions are my own. Valentines Day is almost here! My husband and I have been married for 12 years now and while we've tossed around the idea of skipping gifts for commercialized holidays, we both still like to give and receive too much to do that. That said, rather than the expensive flowers and chocolates we used to buy, we tend to look for more practical things, or things that are "fun" to the other person that they wouldn't Read more [...]

This 'Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 Rotating Car Seat Review' is sponsored by Graco.  As always, all opinions are my own. If you have a child, you'll quickly realize that not all car seats are made equal.  As a mom to six kiddos plus a former foster parent, we've purchased and used more than our fair share of car seats over the last 18 years.  So while they do all need to pass certain current safety tests and standards in the US, the bells and whistles (or lack there of) can really make or Read more [...]

Thanks to Peeka & Co. for sending me this adorable set! As always, all opinions are my own. Shopping for babies and children is my favorite thing about the holiday season! I love choosing gifts that I know kids will use for years and recently I discovered Peeka & Co., a company focused on sustainable play essentials. They have a huge assortment of products available for babies and young children on their site, and they're all tested and hand-selected by parenting experts to make sure they're Read more [...]

Thanks so much to Sammy + Nat for sending me these adorable pajamas. As always, all opinions are my own. Around here we LOVE matching family pajamas. I buy my kids matching pajamas multiple times a year and we absolutely always coordinate for Christmas. This year I found the kids some incredible pajamas from Sammy + Nat and they feature one of our favorite holiday shows, The Nutcracker! Our daughter Harper is nine years old and dances The Nutcracker with her ballet studio around Christmas. Read more [...]

Meriwool sent me products for review. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. It's in the lower 20 here today. On my walk this afternoon, I was already feeling quite cold for the first few roads, but then when I turned to come around the block, suddenly the wind was right in my face. I speed-walked to the next corner because my face hurt so much from the bitter wind!  It may not officially be winter for another couple of days, but it's definitely winter weather Read more [...]

Thanks to Mullybox for sending me this box! As always, all opinions are my own. My dad is in his fifties but just really got into golfing this past year.

Check out this great subscription service for the golfers in your life! Mullybox - Golf Subscription Box With Mullybox, you sign up for a quarterly box with Read more [...]

Logia sent me a 7-in-1 weather station for inclusion in my gift guide. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own.  When I first was planning to include this Logia 7-in-1 wireless weather station in my gift guide, I thought I'd suggest it for people who are really interested in the weather. My dad used to enjoy checking the weather station multiple times a day, and I've known others who just take to watching the weather predictions as a bit of a hobby, too. This Logia Read more [...]

This post is sponsored by FLOMO USA. All opinions are my own. I became aware of the FLOMO brand less than a year ago, but I've tried a variety of their products and have been happy with everything I have tried so far.  FLOMO has school and office supplies such as journals and pens, plus party supplies, art supplies, teacher supplies and more. With us being in the midst of the holiday season, I thought I'd share a combination of gift suggestions and gift wrapping products.  First, Read more [...]

Edifier sent me headphones for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own.  For most of my life, I've been an earbuds kinda person. I used over-ear headphones when I was around 10 and using a portable CD player. They were really tiny, with little sponge-like covers over the speakers that sat on your ears. Not at all like most modern over-ear headphones, so I'm not sure why I waited so long to retry regular headphones.  Last year, that changed! I had a company sent Read more [...]
