Building Paper Punk 3D Models ~ Review

I received products from Paper Punk for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. Ah, summer vacation! We started our summer vacation off immediately when the girls were let out of school. My husband, I and Kaylee our lab, picked the girls up with a loaded car. We were off for our annual trip to our favorite resort. Our resort has several fun activities for the kids to enjoy: a water park, tennis and pickleball courts, bike trails, regular and miniature golf, shopping, and more. I also Read more [...]

Affordable Individually Portioned Frozen Yogurt – Cold Summer Snack Idea

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Yoplait®. The opinions and text are all mine. Yogurt has been a breakfast staple in my household for quite a while.

Mayapple Baby ~ Teething Toys & Corner Cushion Safety + Giveaway (US) 7/31

  Thank you to Mayapple Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Teething babies are rarely much fun.  Our first daughter was terrible during teething.  She would spike 104+ temps and be inconsolable the night before a new tooth would arrive.  Come morning, she'd be her typical happy self with no signs of lingering distress and only her new tooth left as a reminder.  Thankfully, none of our other kids got quite Read more [...]
