I received product from Audiovox for this review. All opinions are my own. My husband and I have been thinking about purchasing a portable DVD player for a while now. We couldn't decide which would fit our needs better, a portable DVD player or a DVD player installed into my vehicle. We decided a portable DVD player because that way we could take it in either of our vehicles and once we reached our destination, we could take the DVD player inside with us if we chose to. A couple times Read more [...]

I received product from Think Fun for this review. All opinions are my own. Think Fun is a company that was launched in the mid-1980s by an entrepreneurial husband and wife team.  Their goal was to develop and produce simple games that helped kids get in touch with their inner engineer, mathematician and/or inventor abilities.  What better way to pull those sometimes hidden talents out of a child than thru play.   Although their toys have changed throughout the last almost 30 years, the Read more [...]

I received products from Gymboree for this review. All opinions are my own. My love for Gymboree children’s apparel and accessories started with an introduction by my Grandmother-in-law. Ever since my oldest daughter’s first Christmas, my Grandmother-in-law has been gifting my daughters items from Gymboree. I had never heard of Gymboree prior to her gift. Now, Gymboree has become my go-to store for my daughters’ wardrobes. When it came time to create a list of companies I wanted to Read more [...]

I received products from Bradley Smokers for this review. All opinions are my own. Several members of our family thoroughly enjoy hunting and fishing.  For them, there’s nothing better than a day of camaraderie on the boat or walking an area for wild game.  Luckily for the rest of the family, they’re usually successful and come home with Steelhead, Chinook, Bass, elk, grouse, etc. Sometimes we take the “fruits of their labor” and cook it up right away.  There’s nothing Read more [...]

I received products from Wahl for this review. All opinions are my own. My husband and I met at a hair cutting salon. I was a receptionist and he was a customer. From the first time I talked with him, I was enamored. I quickly figured out his haircut schedule and I would make sure I was working the Saturdays when I thought he would be coming in for a haircut. This borderline “stalking” crush went on for a year before he finally came to his senses and asked me out. When I left my job at Read more [...]

I received products from Violife for this review. All opinions are my own. Another of our family Christmas traditions is including new toothbrushes in our stockings. This year, I turned to Violife for our new toothbrushes. Violife offers electric and manual toothbrushes in a variety of sizes and styles. For our review, we received two Slim Sonic toothbrushes, two Rockee toothbrushes and replacement brush heads for all. Slim Sonic cleans with 22,000 brush strokes per minute. It is Read more [...]

I received products from Piggy Paint for this review. All opinions are my own. For the last three years, I have included Piggy Paints in my daughters’ Christmas gifts. They and I, LOVE Piggy Paints. We love that there is finally a safe nail polish that is non-toxic, odorless and kid-friendly clean-up. What do I mean by kid-friendly clean-up? Let me tell you about our first experience with Piggy Paint. It was a dark stormy night in Oregon. My husband was at the end of a week-long hunting Read more [...]

I received products from Husky Liners for this review. All opinions are my own. My husband has a dirty job.  There are days when he comes home covered in dirt and/or diesel grease. And because we live in Oregon, there are many days he comes home muddy and wet. His truck is a typical work-truck. The inside has a layer of dust on it. He has floor mats but they don’t cover much space and aren’t water proof so the mess soaks through them and stains the carpeting. I thought it would be nice Read more [...]

I received products from Educational Insights for this review. All opinions are my own. Like most kids, my kids learn best through play. If they are having fun doing something, they are going to be much more open to learning a lesson or skill.  So when I find a company with fun AND educational products, I become a fan quickly. I am fanatic about Educational Insights and would like to share a few of their products with you. First, let me tell you about Educational Insights. Their products Read more [...]
