I received products from Bloomer's Island for my review. All opinions are my own. I was blessed with two daughters who love vegetables. There are only a couple vegetables that they have turned up their noses at. I know I am extremely lucky. Many parents struggle with getting their children to eat vegetables. Some choose to 'hide' vegetable puree in other foods and others just give up and don't make their kids eat them. From very early on, we asked our kids to eat three bites of everything on Read more [...]

I received a gift card from Kohl’s for my review. All opinions are my own. Back to school time is a mixture of emotions for many. Some are excited to go back and see all of their friends that they missed over the summer break. Others dread the daily tasks associated with school, homework and hearing the tardy bell again. Luckily my kids take after their dad when it comes to their feelings about school. Just like he did, they love going to school. To prepare the girls for going back to Read more [...]

I received products from KidCuteTure for my review. All opinions are my own. I have two young daughters. Savannah is 7.5 years old and Cheyenne is 5.33 years old. (Those months are very important to them!) Both girls have a passion for fashion. They like pulling together outfits that share a glimpse of their creative personalities. When the girls and I need to shop, we prefer to do so at clothing boutiques. We like to support the smaller businesses for many reasons…one of which is that they Read more [...]

I received products from Say Please Lunchbox Love for my review. All opinions are my own. Back to school time is upon us. My daughters go back on September 2nd and 8th. This year, I will have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner. This will be the first time both girls are in school Monday through Friday. It is also our first experience with all-day Kindergarten; this is a new program in our school district. I know many schools offer all-day kindergarten but I am not sure we/I am ready for it. It seems Read more [...]

I received products from AllerEase Bedding for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters have allergies. We believe our youngest is allergic to grass seed. This might not sound like a big deal to some people, but we live in the “grass seed capital of the world”. This makes her early summers a bit of a drag. We end up giving her eye drops, nose spray and allergy medication for a couple of months. Then when grass harvesting season comes to an end, her symptoms ease up. As Oregon weather Read more [...]

I received products from Ruby Ribbon for my review. All opinions are my own. Like most women, I sometimes worry about the way my clothing wears. I try to choose clothing that enables me to look and feel my best. I want to show off my stronger features while maybe diminishing those areas I am still working to improve. I have a couple new pieces of clothing that help me in all the right places. Ruby Ribbon is a clothing line with a secret. Their fashion basics secretly have shapewear built in Read more [...]

I received products from YesStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Starting a new adventure in life can be both exciting and scary. This week, I have decided to take a new path. I am super excited about the possibilities, nervous about my unanswered questions and worried that I might not have what it takes. None the less, change is good and I am ready for it. To help me feel a little more confident, I am going to start working on some outfits which could be considered business casual. Read more [...]

Kuli Kuli is one of those companies that is on a mission to make the world a better place.  They believe that by nourishing you, you are in turn nourishing Read more [...]

I received products from Boncora Biscotti for my review. All opinions are my own. Do you like to dunk with your coffee? Some people really enjoy dunking donuts, scones, biscotti and other pastries into their coffee. I don’t normally dunk with my coffee but, on rare special occasions, it’s nice to make that special “me” time a bit more special. Bonnie Tempesta makes Boncora Biscotti. Boncora Biscotti are handmade in Sonoma California. She uses a family recipe that has been passed Read more [...]

I received products from Musco Family Olive Co. for my review. All opinions are my own. Like most kids, my kids love olives. I see them pick olives out of pasta salads, pizza and other dishes. They like to put whole olives on the tips of their fingers and pretend they are alien eyes and so on. I never really thought about olives as anything but an ingredient in a dish. That is until I was asked to review Olives To Go! Individual snack cups. Musco Family Olive Co. specializes in olives. The Read more [...]
