Thank you to The Escape Game for providing me product to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Have you ever been to an Escape Room?  The Escape Game has 17 locations all across the United States so you'll definitely want to visit one once the country is back up and running.  While the closest one to us is about 1 1/2 hours away, we've visited several times already.  It is DEFINITELY worth the drive; especially if you can get  group of friends to go with you!  But since Read more [...]

Thanks so much to Celebrations in the Kitchen for sending me these adorable cookie decorating kits. As always, all opinions are my own. So, how is your family doing during this crazy time? We're doing pretty well overall; my husband is considered essential so he's still employed right now, and since I homeschool our day-to-day hasn't changed too drastically. Of course we miss seeing friends and family, but it's getting a little warmer outside so we've been able to play in the yard and chat with Read more [...]

I started this blog in 2009, so it's now more than a decade old! When I started blogging, it was to create content related to my Etsy shop, in hopes of making that into a bigger business. I found that I really enjoyed blogging, even more than I enjoyed the Etsy shop so eventually, I switched my focus to blogging about other things. I started working with brands on product reviews and after a while I started adding on other writers to help write even more reviews. For many years now, I've emailed Read more [...]

Thank you to Dream Pairs for sending sandals for review in exchange for my honest opinion. A good quality summer sandal that doesn't break the bank was on my list of things I needed to get for my daughter this spring. Last year I found some great athletic shoes for her (DREAM PAIRS Shoes Review). So, DREAM PAIRS was the first place I looked, and I was able to find the perfect pair of summer sandals for her. These summer sandals come in 17 different color combinations! I picked the Coral/Mint/Light Read more [...]

This is a sponsored guest post. There’s been a lot of talk recently about what you should be doing with your quarantine time. People are being encouraged to learn a new language, get into the best shape of their lives, or start up a side hustle – and while this all sounds great in theory, that’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself during a time of unpredictability and confusion. It’s important to stay busy and engaged during quarantine, but that doesn’t mean you have to push yourself Read more [...]

Thank you to Bogs for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. It's Spring! Finally we are starting to see a few green blades of grass shoot up through the brown. My 4-year-old daughter has been itching to jump in some puddles with her new rain boots from Bogs! Unfortunately for her, we've had quite a dry spring this year, so there haven't been any puddles! Since all the community Easter Egg hunts are cancelled this year, we decided to do an Easter Egg hunt in our Read more [...]

This is a sponsored blog post with BestCanvas.Ca. Mother's day is about a month away. In some ways it feels like 2020 has been a really long year already, and in others, it's hard to believe it's already April. The world just feels strange right now, and I for one am not sure what to expect the future to look like as we go farther into 2020. However, I think it's certainly possible that we will all still be sheltering in place for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this may mean that we may not be able Read more [...]

Thank you to Winning Moves Games for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Approximately three weeks ago, our schools were closed and we were urged to stay at home, to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. The last few weeks have been pretty scary. No one really knows what is going on or how to react. Things are stressful for everyone. Playing games and working puzzles has been a great way for me to entertain and distract our kids and myself.

I received the Quartz Cuckoo Clock Black Forest House from CukooClocks.com to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. As a child, I was always fascinated by cuckoo clocks.  Now as an adult, I'm still just as in awe.   They are truly a beautiful and timeless piece of functional art!  But even more, they are also kid-friendly and fun. Cuckoo Clocks - A Long Standing Tradition Many homes have been adorned with a Cuckoo Clock over the years.  But I honestly wasn't even Read more [...]
