Thank you to Sweet Reads Box for sending The Maid Book Box for review in exchange for my honest opinion.      My little girl went back to school yesterday and I started back to work full time this week too. Now more than ever, in the business of life it's important that I take some "me time". And, I encourage you to take some "you time" too! Fall is a great time to curl up with a good book. I love to read, but I don't get the chance to do it as much as I would like. A new book Read more [...]

Thank you to Ethos Seed Company for sending seeds for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Do you tend a garden? It seems like gardening has gotten more popular since the pandemic. I've been gardening since I was a little girl. My grandmother first taught me the art of growing flowers and vegetables in her big garden. When I met my husband I was excited to find out that as a single guy in his early twenties, he tended his own garden! We've now been gardening together for the last 10 years, Read more [...]

Thanks to MyChelle for sending me these products. As always, all opinions are my own.

I've been using MyChelle Dermaceuticals products for almost a year now, and I've been so impressed with them. I started back in 2021 with the Hydrate Collection and this summer I also tried their Natural Tinted Sunscreen. Most recently I'm using their Soothe Collection which has been perfect considering it's summer and I'm out in the sun quite a bit.

This 'Back to Campus SABRE Products That Help Keep Students Safe' is sponsored by SABRE.  As always, all opinions are my own.
Once your babies become teenagers, time appears to speed up.  With every passing year, time seems to move more quickly than you ever imagined possible.  Life with your once tiny baby is now just a memory, whether you're ready or not for that change.  This week, my oldest began full time college.  She's just 17 and I still vividly remember the Read more [...]

Thanks to AutoBrush for sending my kids such fun products! As always, all opinions are my own.

How does brushing teeth with kids go in your household? While ours are pretty good about wanting to brush, they definitely have mornings and evenings where they don't have the motivation. However, that's recently changed since we found AutoBrush! AutoBrush has made it so much more FUN for the kids to practice good oral hygiene.

My kids have always been pretty good about brushing their teeth at Read more [...]

This BOLDE BLENDER BOTTLE post is sponsored by BOLDE Bottle.  As always, all opinions are my own.
Shaker bottles are all the rage these days.  Have you jumped on the bandwagon yet?  The main purpose of a shaker cup (or bottle) is to mix up protein shakes.  But they can also be used for any drink—from juice to sports drink to iced coffee or just plain water.

Thank you to Innova for sending a 5310 CarScan Inspector Tool in exchange for this honest opinion review.  My husband is a pretty handy guy. He works full time as a farmer and also works part time at a local auto repair shop. I'm thankful that he is able to complete almost all of our vehicle maintenance right here at our house. He's always wanted a car scanner so he can check the code(s) on our vehicles without having to take them to the auto repair shop. Recently Innova gave us the opportunity Read more [...]

Thanks to Ollny for sending me these lights! As always, all opinions are my own.

For the past few years our kids have really been begging us to decorate our house with Christmas lights around the holidays. I've been searching for high-quality lights that won't break the bank and that are also not so hard on the electric bill; and just recently, I've found them! Ollny has solar string lights that are powered by the sun, affordable, and so pretty! I'm excited to share them with you, and I've got Read more [...]

I was sent product samples from CBDInfusionz. All opinions are my own. 

CBD Infusionz is a brand that makes CBD products as well as delta 9 products. Back when CBD first started becoming more popular, I tried a variety of CBD products. I have generalized anxiety so I was primarily interested in how CBD was said to assist with that. I have also tried topical pain relief products that contain CBD, among others. 

Ultimately, I haven't been convinced that CBD by itself definitely helps Read more [...]
