Kids Garden VeggiePOPS~ Review & #Giveaway US 9/11

I received products from Bloomer's Island for my review. All opinions are my own.
I was blessed with two daughters who love vegetables. There are only a couple vegetables that they have turned up their noses at. I know I am extremely lucky.

From very early on, we asked our kids to eat three bites of everything on Read more [...]
Going Back To School With Kohl’s #OOTD & Review

Finding Allergy Relief With AllerEase Bedding ~ Review

I received products from AllerEase Bedding for my review. All opinions are my own.
My daughters have allergies. We believe our youngest is allergic to grass seed. This might not sound like a big deal to some people, but we live in the “grass seed capital of the world”.
