This year, my girls are in 1st grade and preschool. As we were preparing for school to start, I asked them what clothing items they both wanted more of this year. It was unanimous, they both wanted more dresses. I quickly logged on to the Nohi Kids website and found the dresses I/we wanted. For our review, Nohi Kids sent the girls two dresses. Savannah is wearing the Sash Dress Snowflake Navy and Cheyenne is wearing the Neck Ruffle Dress Navy Stripe. Savannah’s Sash Dress Snowflake Navy Read more [...]

I have become quite fond of statement necklaces. I love the pop of color, declaration of texture and testimony of pattern that a necklace can add to your outfits. The only real rule to statement necklace is that there are NO rules. Wear these necklaces with anything and everything. Wear them not just because they “go-with” your outfit, but wear them because they make you feel and look sensational! One of my new favorite shops for statement necklaces is a boutique called the Hawthorn Collection. Read more [...]

My two darling daughters are not the most patient people in the world. I put all of the blame on their mom! Yep, they picked this up from me. All three of us, seem to “want what we want, when we want it”, but I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing…as long as we are willing to work for it. I am trying to show them how to work hard for the things that they want in life. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” I am also trying to teach us, how to increase our patience. What better Read more [...]

The girls and I love finding cute eco-friendly clothing. As the girls were headed back to school, we were looking for some new clothing pieces that were fashionable and earth friendly. We were all impressed when we stumbled upon Dhana EcoKids. Dhana EcoKids knows that kids have a fresh and innocent way of viewing the world. They want to embrace this feeling by creating a clothing line that is eco-friendly, embraces different cultures and celebrates childhood. Dhana EcoKids offer a line of organic Read more [...]

For the last at least two years, I have heard my mom say how much she wanted a pair of clogs. She used to wear them back in her “hippy” days (her words) and wished she could find some in today’s fashion styles.  She said she loves the craftsmanship, the look and the way they make her feet feel. Her birthday was in early September. This year I was able to get her a gift I knew she would love and cherish. I was able to get her Sandgrens Clogs! For my review, I received the Philly boot in Read more [...]

I am a mom to two very active little girls. Lately I have really begun to notice how girls’ clothing styles are changing. They have gone from cute designs with modest cuts to styles that aren’t very conservative and are a bit too provocative for this mom.  I believe in clothing that covers, is comfortable to wear and allows little girls to be active and explore the world. One company that shares my beliefs is Girl Gotch. Girl Gotch offers young girls a line of underwear that is both fashionable Read more [...]

After having two kids, I was left with some stretch marks. Obviously, they aren’t visible when I am clothed, but they still really bother me. Over the years, I have tried a few products to help with reducing the appearance of stretch marks, but nothing has helped. I have also tried creams that promised to smooth the texture of my skin, but again, haven’t had much luck. When I was asked to review Hydroxatone Celtrixa Intensive Stretch Mark Lotion I was a bit skeptical. But then, I asked myself, Read more [...]

As we speak, I am doing laundry. With two young daughters, a husband with a physically demanding job, a dog and me, we always seem to have laundry waiting. With so much laundry, it is important to me that I make sure I am being effective, efficient and eco-friendly. I make sure our load sizes are correct for our machines, I adjust the settings, I use an eco-friendly washing ball and have Woolzies dryer balls. This combination allows me to keep our clothes clean while still being nice to the world Read more [...]

Who doesn’t love being able to customize something. It doesn’t matter what your age is, which gender you are, or what the item may be, when something can be customized to your liking, it is going to be better than the standard option. We were recently asked to review Manhattan Toy’s line of customizable wooden toy vehicles, called Motorworks. Motorworks are available in three different levels- Street Series, Speed Series and Extreme Series. Vehicle accessories packs, custom car decals and Read more [...]

About a year ago, I began making changes in my life and promised myself that I would live healthier. I wanted to be able to be more physically active with my little girls. I wanted to look attractive for my husband. I wanted to feel more confident for myself. I did some research and came up with a list of changes that I could easily make in my life. I changed the foods I was eating, reduced portions, started drinking more water and tried to integrate more activity into my schedule. By doing this, Read more [...]
