I received product from Lovable Labels. All opinions are my own. Where has the first part of summer vacation gone? We have been so busy that it has just flown by! In Oregon, the school summer break doesn’t end until the first part of September, but at this rate, that will be here before we know it. One of the MANY items on my back to school shopping list was labels. Our school district STRONGLY suggests we label ALL school supplies, clothing, coats, shoes and lunch gear. It is a daunting Read more [...]

I received products from Turtle Moon Health for my review. All opinions are my own. A couple of years ago, I discovered a company called Turtle Moon Health. I tried their Mosquito Repellent when we went to a local camp ground that is well known for the quantity and size of its mosquitoes. My family had the least amount of mosquito bites at the end of our stay. I recently checked in with Turtle Moon Health. They informed me that they had renamed and revamped the Mosquito Repellent; it is Read more [...]

I am part of the Jennie-O Switch Circle. I received products for my review. All opinions are my own. For many people, summer time means grilling time. I love cooking on our gas grill. It makes cleanup easy, I get to relax outside while cooking, and it adds a special feeling to the meal when it has been grilled. One of my favorite grilled meals is Jennie-O Turkey Burgers. I love using a toasted nutty whole grain bun and adding a slice of grilled pineapple and fresh-from-the-garden kale, onion Read more [...]

I received product from BigtimeTeez.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Finding t-shirts for my husband can be a bit of a challenge. It can’t be red and it has to have just the right sleeve length and width, plus he likes it when they have something humorous written on them…but not crude. I was recently asked to review t-shirts from BigtimeTeez.com. I was excited for this opportunity to find a few new t-shirts for my husband. BigtimeTeez.com is a small family-owned business.

I received products form Heart On Your Wrist for my review. All opinions are my own. I have two young daughters ages 5 and 7. For the most part, they are good friends. My older daughter is happy to be a leader and tell/show her sister how things are done. My younger daughter idolizes her big sister and does everything she can to get her attention. I hope they continue to be this close as they grow up. I wanted to surprise the girls with a gift on the last day of school. Once when we passed Read more [...]

I received products from BeddingStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Our master bedroom has been a depressing catch-all kind of room for many years now. I recently decided to give the bedroom a mini makeover with new curtains and bedding from BeddingStyle.com. For my review, I received Heritage Landing Ivory Window Treatments, Perry Ellis Plum Solid Sheet Set, Candice Olson Ventura Maze Duverlet and Shams, and last but not least, a Candice Olson throw pillow. Heritage Read more [...]

I received product from iDeaPLAY for my review. All opinions are my own. Last Christmas we added our first tablet to the family. It was a kids’ tablet from iDeaPLAY from iDeaUSA. Prior to receiving it, I thought the girls would like it but I had no idea how much. Since we received it, we have come to rely on it for quick educational entertainment. I usually keep it in my purse or car so that it’s handy if I find us in a situation where I need the girls to be patient a bit longer than normal. Read more [...]

I received product from Caralase for my review. All opinions are my own. Wow, yesterday was hot, hot, hot! Oregonians are not used to temperatures in the upper 90s as they have been recently.  I think we start melting around 89 degrees…Lol. Luckily for us, today is much cooler and only in the upper 70s. I really like this temperature. It is nice and warm but not uncomfortably hot. It makes being outside really enjoyable. Today I am going to share with you two of my newest summer-friendly Read more [...]
