I received products from Weight Watchers for my review. All opinions are my own. When you are trying to watch what you eat or even are trying to lose some weight, treats can be a bit confusing. Are you allowed to have a treat? If so, what can you have and how often? While losing 50+ pounds, I learned that it was OK for me to have a small treat, once a day. It actually helped me to stay on track because I wasn’t depriving myself of the things I truly enjoyed. The key for me was finding portion Read more [...]

I received products from Lee Jeans for my review. All opinions are my own. My family wears jeans year-round. As I began moving our winter apparel into storage and moving our spring apparel into our closets, I noticed my daughters and I were in need of new jeans. I turned to my friends at Lee Jeans for a few new styles. Lee Jeans are always well made, comfortable to wear and come in several fun styles. For our review, we were sent four pair of Lee Jeans. Savannah is wearing the Skinny BLTD Jeans Read more [...]

I received product from YesStyle for my review. All opinions are my own. I have a case of what I call “the Mondays”. I did not want to get out of bed this morning. My week’s schedule is packed full. I have school obligations with my daughters, work I need to do around the house in preparation for an open house, I need to finish gathering items for a garage sale we are getting ready for and I have blog work waiting for me. On top of all of that, we are feeling the loss of a family member. When Read more [...]

I received Disney books for my review. All opinions are my own. Have you seen Disney’s new movie called Frozen? If not, you are really missing out. In my opinion, this is the best movie Disney has made in a long time. That’s not to say I haven’t liked other recently released Disney movies (Tangled is another favorite), it’s just that Frozen is that good! My daughters can recite most of the movie Frozen. They often act it out and sing the now well-known songs.  When asked who Read more [...]

I received products from Naked Edge Snacks for my review. All opinions are my own. Snacks! Snacks are an important part of our daily menu. My family and I try to choose healthy snacks- fruits, veggies or protein. When we are at home when we’re craving a snack, it is fairly easy to choose something healthy. It’s when we are out and about that choosing a healthy snack can be a challenge. I try to stock up on healthy options that can easily be taken with us when we’re on the go. I recently Read more [...]

I received products from Sel Terre for my review. All opinions are my own. Finding skincare products that work with my dramatic skin can be a challenge. Not only do I have eczema, but I am also allergic to coconut oil. That combination rules out most of the skincare lines. When I find a skincare line that will work with my skin, I really enjoy sharing it will all of you…just in case one of you also has problematic skin. Today, I want to share with you Sel Terre skincare products. Sel Terre Read more [...]

I received products from Eternal Summer Boutique for my review. All opinions are my own. This month, Oregon has had some unseasonably warm weather. Last week, my daughters were running through the sprinkler and it was 80 degrees on our deck. It was beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of it. This week, it is a little cooler and we have had some typical Oregon rain. Either way, it is obvious that warmer weather is right around the corner. It is FINALLY time to rotate heavy clothing to the back Read more [...]

I received product from Natural Vitality for my review. All opinions are my own. One day last week, my mom was REALLY excited to tell me about this new product she had found. She couldn't remember the company name, but knew the product was called “calm something…” She was enthusiastic about this product because of all the nutritional properties. She went on and on about how much she was looking forward to her and her husband taking it and seeing if it benefited their health. When she was Read more [...]

I received products from Racor Home Storage Solutions for my review. All opinions are my own. Our house is currently on the market. We had a house showing a few weeks ago and the potential buyers really liked our house but didn’t like the condition of our neighbors’ yards. Unfortunately, that’s not the first time we’ve heard this. We did some brainstorming with our agent and the agent who had just shown our house, and together we decided to rent a dumpster and have a home and neighborhood Read more [...]

I received products from Gallo Family Vineyards for my review. All opinions are my own. As you can tell from the name…Gallo Family Vineyards is family owned and operated and has been that way since 1933.   A company doesn’t stay in business for 80 years, and involve 4 generations, without having a quality product and great customer service. For my review, I received three varieties of Gallo Family wine:  the Moscato-Western Cape, Pink Moscato-Argentina and Red Moscato-Argentina.  Read more [...]
