I received products from HoMedics for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. My daughters, ages 6 and 8, have been back in school for about 4 weeks now. This year, we are on a new routine. Over the summer, we moved further away from the school. Now the girls have a much longer bus ride to school. The girls get up around 5:45 am and need to be at the bus stop by 7:10. With them getting up so early, they also go to bed early, around 7:30 pm. To help the girls sleep better, we got them Read more [...]

I received product from Spicley for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. Summer time means fresh garden produce. Every year, my aunt has a beautiful vegetable garden at her home. She often blesses us with some of her extra produce. Usually we receive a large amount of zucchini. One year, she gave me approximately 200 pounds of zucchini. Let me tell you, I have come up with some pretty creative ways to use zucchini! One of my go-to zucchini recipes is a variation of spaghetti. Read more [...]

I received product from Adaptive Sound Technologies for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. I work from home.  When my family is away at work or school, my house is REALLY quiet…too quiet for me. I like and even need back ground noise when I work. If my house is quiet when I am trying to work, I have a hard time concentrating. After talking with a friend about missing the noise, she suggested I get a sound machine for my office. I reached out to Adaptive Sound Technologies; Read more [...]

I received products from Logo Loops for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. My daughters, ages 6 and 8, have been back to school now for about 3 weeks. Before they headed back to class we had a list of essentials to pick up. The list included the standard school supplies, clothing, shoes, lunch bag, backpack and so on. We also needed to pick-up new hair accessories for school. I have noticed when my daughters don’t have their hair pulled back out of their eyes, they become distracted Read more [...]

I received product from Popchips for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. My husband works a physically demanding job with long days. To help keep him going, he takes several snacks to work; usually a bag of chips, a granola bar, carrot sticks and cheese stick. I try not to tell my husband what to eat (he is an adult after all). With that said, I do try to stock our house with healthy options. So, I decided to replace some of his chips with Popchips. Popchips are made with potatoes Read more [...]

I received products from Canyon Bakehouse for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. About a year ago, I began noticing that I had sensitivity to foods with gluten in them. I don’t believe I have an actual medical issue. I think it is simply that my body doesn't tolerate gluten well. I decided to experiment with my diet. For one week, I completely cut out foods with gluten. I felt so much better; less bloat and more energy. From that point on, I have really tried to avoid gluten…I Read more [...]

I received products from PB Crave for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. We are a peanut butter loving family! By the spoonful, on a cracker, in a sandwich or in a dessert, we love peanut butter. For this reason, I was thrilled when asked to review PB Crave peanut butter. PB Crave peanut butter is made with natural peanuts, honey and delicious flavor combinations. PB Crave is free of hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup. It is also gluten-free and Read more [...]

I received product from LectroFan Jr. for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. The saying “sleep like a baby” is often used to describe someone in a deep sleep. What happens though if baby has a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep? Not all babies, “sleep like a baby.” Sometimes little ones need help drifting off to sleep. One item many parents are turning to for help, are sound machines. I was recently given the opportunity to try a LectroFan Jr. sound machine. LectroFan Read more [...]

I received products from Mediterra for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. I do my best to only bring healthy snacks into our home. When you have healthy foods in your home, you are less likely to eat junk. Snacks are no exception to this rule. I try to have an assortment of nutritious snacks for us to choose from. I recently discovered Mediterra bars and thought they were a good fit for us. Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, Mediterra bars are made with natural ingredients; Read more [...]

I received products from MyShower for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. We recently moved from our starter house to our forever home. As a family, we made a deal that we were going to go the extra mile in making sure this house was better organized. One of the places my stuff gets out of hand is in the master bathroom. I am a product junkie! I have products lined up on the side of the shower, in a basket in the shower, products shoved in cabinets and in totes under my bed. I admit Read more [...]
