I was sent a shipment from Nadine West. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post.  If you're new to the idea of Nadine West, it's a women's clothing subscription service. They send you clothes in the mail each month that are a surprise to you. However, they aren't totally random - they're based on information you provide when you sign up. You tell them things like whether you like wearing just gold-toned, just silver-toned, or both colors of jewelry. You can also tell Read more [...]

I was sent clothing from Homage's go-to line for review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. Homage brand clothing review Ryan had a birthday recently. The clothing that he wears around the house has gotten a bit old and worn out. When I had the chance to try out some Homage brand clothing, their "go-to" line stood out to me.  Homage in general offers a lot of clothing based around teams and pop culture. Ryan isn't one to like many graphic t-shirts or things Read more [...]

10 Life Lessons Of Attending Summer Camp Have your children attended summer camp or have you considered sending them?  Now's the time to sign up as most camp registration is now open! I grew up attending a local camp.  It was a sleep-away overnight camp where we'd spend 4 nights each summer.  Honestly, it was nerve-racking for me at first.  I was an introvert, picky eater, and struggled with self-confidence.  But in the end, it was a really great experience overall.  Read more [...]

Thank you to Hisamitsu for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. No matter what our age is or the kind of physical shape we’re in, I think it’s safe to say that we all overdo it from time to time. It could be too much yard work, a new exercise routine or sports activity, or it may be that constant ache from arthritis or bursitis. Maybe you’ve strained or sprained your back, shoulder, knees, elbows, or neck area. If you’re experiencing discomfort Read more [...]

I was sent a pair of glasses from DiscountGlasses.com for review. All opinions are my own. I was surprised to learn that basic medicare doesn't include vision insurance. My dad is in his mid 70's and his only income is social security. He's worn glasses for decades. Since retiring from his job and switching from employer-provided insurance to medicare, he's only got new glasses twice!  When you don't have vision coverage and need bifocals or progressive lenses, it can be quite expensive.

There are affiliate links in this post.  My dad is in his mid-70's and has never owned a computer or a smartphone. He tried a flip-phone style cell phone several years ago but gave it up after a couple of months. He's just not an internet or modern technology kinda guy. Part of this means he does all of his shopping in local retail stores still.  It really shouldn't have surprised me when he went to buy some gallon freezer bags at a small local grocery store that were $3.50 for 10 Read more [...]

I received the WORX 20V Hydroshot Portable Power Cleaner in exchange for this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Spring is here and it's time to start our spring cleaning!  I just had a huge garage sale and so we've been going through all our stuff, cleaning out the basement and garage, and just getting everything back into tip-top shape again.  Along with all this clean up and prep comes straightening up outdoors too.  We just washed our car for the first time in months Read more [...]

Thank you to Goliath Games for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Our family and extended family are big on games, especially family games that pull all ages and generations together. Over the past year, games have even become more important to us since we find ourselves spending so much time at home or in small family gatherings. Today I want to share with you a few of the games we have in our game cabinet.  Games for kids ages 4-years-old Read more [...]

Thanks to Promptly Journals for sending me these beautiful keepsakes. As always, all opinions are my own.  Did you fill out baby books for your children? I did for both my kids, but unfortunately those end by age five. Now that my kids are five and almost eight, I wanted something to record memories and experiences for the rest of their childhood. I heard of Promptly Journals and immediately fell in love with their Childhood History Journals!  What is a Childhood History Journal? Promptly Read more [...]
