UncommonGreen Customizable Hometown Maps Barware Review

By Emily Benzing

September 28th, 2016
Thank you to UncommonGreen for sending me this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania means having hometown pride at all times. When I was little, I was raised to love hockey, football, and the city itself. Our house had Pittsburgh items everywhere from mugs, to pictures, clothes, and anything you can think of. Pittsburgh even has it's own 'language' and it's branded on t-shirts everywhere. Hometown pride is something that does Read more [...]

Big Lots ~ Simmons Tristan Bunk Bed & Zeopedia Memory Foam Mattress {Review}

Sharing a bedroom is a childhood staple in many homes and I grew up sharing with my sister.  While we didn't always like it, I do think it helped us work through our issues since neither one of us had anywhere else to go.  Plus, let's face it.  When it's storming and scary, nobody wants to be sleeping alone!  Now that I'm a mom, I actually love the fact that our kids share bedrooms.  We have a "girls room" and a "boys room".  But, with five of our own kiddos and a foster baby in the home, we Read more [...]

Handstand Kitchen ~ Cooking With Kids + Discount & Giveaway (US) 10/14

Making fun memories with our kids is really important to us.  So we strive to set the unimportant things in life aside from time to time and play a game, go on a walk, play in the sandbox, or some other fun activity.  Since I particularly enjoy cooking and baking, that is one of my go-to areas to also include the kids.  From the time they can walk, they tend to love joining me up at the island stirring, dumping, and pouring.  As they get older and their skill levels increase, I even encourage Read more [...]

Big Lots ~ Finding Fall Decor For My Home {Review}

I don't typically do an over-abundance of decorating for each season, however, I do like to incorporate a few things for each particular season or holiday.  So I turned to Big Lots for help.  If you are unfamiliar with this particular store, they tend to offer a wide variety of affordable products for the home (furniture, decor, and more) as well as yard items, toys, food, clothes, pet supplies, and more.  I've found some pretty great stuff there over the years and I actually still own the two Read more [...]

TrackR bravo Review

By Asha

September 18th, 2016
Thank you to TrackR for sending us the TrackR bravo for review! My husband has tons of wonderful qualities; he is sweet, funny, hard working, a fantastic father, and the list goes on. However, being organized and keeping track of things is not one of his strong suits. He is constantly asking, "Have you seen my wallet?". Although most of the time the wallet is nearby, last winter he lost his wallet for good. We have no idea where it went. Along with losing the wallet came the pain of having Read more [...]
