Thank you to Kan Jam for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. The KanJam Illuminate Game Set is advertised as America’s #1 Party Sport that Keeps the Party Going All Night. If you ask the members of our family, we would agree with that. What a blast!!! This is a game that can be played day or night because of the LED light pods that are in the two translucent goals and the LED flying disc. The darker it is outside, the more fun you’re Read more [...]

Thank you to Flex Seal for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. We live in Oregon and although our weather usually isn’t extremely hot or cold, we do have situations where the warm weather uncovers a leak or two or a fast freeze causes cracks, etc. When this happens, our “go-to” product is Flex Seal. They have every product you can think of from sprays to liquids, to glue, to tape…and in a wide variety of colors. No longer are your choices Read more [...]

Thank you to Quevos for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Our family is focusing on making healthy food choices. One of those healthy food choices that work for us is following a ketogenic diet plan. We have found that the diet gives us plenty of options for each family member’s specific likes and needs. That brings us to Quevos Chips. Quevos Chips are a great treat that satisfies our cravings for a salty snack while still putting healthy Read more [...]

Thank you to Baiden Mitten for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. For as long as I can remember, my daughter has had "bumpy skin". The bumps kind of resemble a cross between a pimple and a goosebump. Over the years, we have talked with multiple pediatricians about them. They have each given us different diagnoses and treatment plans. We have tried special creams, oral prescriptions, and elimination diets. Nothing has significantly helped. Here Read more [...]

Thank you to Redmond Life for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Our family is focusing on making healthy choices…this includes choices that center on our diet, attitudes, environment, relationships, and general lifestyle. When it comes to our healthy diet choices, we know that the proper seasoning can turn an otherwise rather boring or mundane meal into something spectacular.

Thank you to Bear Mountain BBQ for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Whether it’s just the four of us or we include family and friends, our family loves a good old fashioned outdoor barbeque event. ….and barbecuing isn’t just for beef. We enjoy grilling all sorts of fish, poultry, pork, vegetables, and fruit. We’ve even tried barbequing desserts. The trick to quality barbequing is not only the food item that you’re grilling but Read more [...]

Thank you to Yoobi for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Like many of you, we finished the school year with remote learning. Every day, my daughters logged into their school program to receive their lessons for the day, completed them, and participated in group video chats. It wasn't always easy, but they got it done. As they finished the school year, it became pretty clear to me, that we needed to set-up dedicated work zones for the girls Read more [...]

Like many of you, I am scrambling to come up with different ways to entertain my kids while we shelter in place. One idea that came to my mind was outdoor games. As we speak, it is raining, but soon we will have nice weather and will be able to spend more time outside. Fortunately for us, we have a large yard with room to roam and play. When I need help with ideas, I hit the internet. I reached out to my Facebook friends asking what some of their favorite yard games were. As always they came through Read more [...]

Thank you to Zak Designs for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Boy, what a school year that was! Who would have ever guessed that Friday, March 13th would be our last day in school? My girls were rock stars thorough what will no doubt be one of the strangest times in their lives. They made remote learning look easy. I never had to remind them to do their work or check to see if they were getting everything done. They accepted what was and Read more [...]

Thank you to Shelburne Farms for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I don't think there is anything much better than waking up on Sunday morning and having a hot breakfast with your family. In my opinion, it is the perfect way to start my day. While I am preparing and enjoying the meal, I get to spend time with my family and discuss what lies ahead. It is a great time for all family members to reconnect with each other. My family and I Read more [...]
