I received a SHINE fitness tracker for my review. All opinions are my own. I have been working really hard to live a healthy lifestyle. I try to eat nutritious foods, drink water, get the appropriate amount of rest, and get my daily exercise. For this reason, I was super excited to partner with Misfit Wearables for a review of their SHINE fitness tracker. I was disappointed when I learned that I needed an iPhone, iPad or iPod to sync with the SHINE fitness tracker, as I don’t have any of those Read more [...]

I received products from Peaceable Kingdom for this review. All opinions are my own. Some years I really struggle with what to include in my daughters Christmas Stockings, but that wasn’t the case this year! I found a plethora of stocking-stuffers at Peaceable Kingdom. They have stickers, card games and more that are perfect for stockings. For my review, I received- Diaries, Sticker Packs, Glitter & Foil Stickers, Scratch & Sniff Stickers, Vinyl Cling Sticker Totes, and Card Games. Read more [...]

I received products from Winning Moves Games for this review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to deciding what Christmas gifts to give my nieces and nephews, I try to think about their ages, skill levels and what would get the most use. I usually come up with an idea and try to apply it to each of them. This year, I focused on games. I wanted the gifts to encourage patience, team work and to allow the kids to use their problem solving skills. I turned to Winning Moves Games, one of Read more [...]

I received product from PowerSox for this review. All opinions are my own. As I shared earlier, we always gift socks for Christmas. It’s just one of those items we always seem to need. My husband is particularly tough on his socks. I suspect it is a combination of being on his feet all day, working in rough work environments and wearing rugged work boots. This year, I turned to PowerSox for his new socks. PowerSox are a family brand along with GoldToe socks. PowerSox were designed with Read more [...]

I received products from GoldToe for this review. All opinions are my own. I have two young daughters. For us, sitting down as a family to write our letters to Santa Claus is a fun event. It’s a chance to really connect with our kids, share the message of what is really important, celebrate the magic of the holiday and spend some precious family time. We start by making a list of all the things we are thankful for. Then we make our Christmas wish lists with three “needs” and three “wants”. Read more [...]

I received product from Skinnygirl for this review. All opinions are my own. I am a bit of a picky drinker when it comes to alcoholic beverages. I like them to be “foofy” drinks, meaning I like them to be a bit sweet, perhaps fruity, and I don’t want to taste the alcohol. I also want them to be light on calories and low alcohol content. This combination was hard to find in prepared drinks, until Skinnygirl hit the market. Skinnygirl offers a line of low-calorie alcoholic drinks. They Read more [...]

I received product from Jim Beam for this review. All opinions are my own. My father-in-law is almost as difficult to shop for as my mother-in-law. It’s not that they don’t need or want anything, it’s that their idea of a perfect gift is time; time spent with their kids and grandkids. I can give them time but I also like gifting them something they can enjoy after we have left. I asked my mother-in-law for a few gift ideas for my father-in-law and she suggested “consumables!” Read more [...]

I received product from Innovation Factory for this review. All opinions are my own. Last August, I shared with you a new multi-purpose tool from Innovation Factory called the Trucker’s Friend. Trucker’s Friend does it all; it has an axe, hammer, nail puller, pry bar, lever, tire chain hook, wire twist and debris remover. It is a terrific tool. Today, I get to share another handy tool from Innovation Factory; this one is called the IceDozer Mini 2.0. The IceDozer Mini 2.0 is a Read more [...]

I received products from NOW Foods for this review. All opinions are my own. As I shared earlier, every year, we find a new toothbrush in our Christmas stocking. Along with our new toothbrush, we receive new toothpaste and mouthwash. I am not really sure how or when this tradition started, but I think it is a good one to hold on to. This year, I turned to NOW Foods for our oral care products. NOW Foods specializes in natural products that have been designed to help you feel your best. Their Read more [...]
