Who doesn't love a good brownie?! Just because my family follows the ketogenic diet, doesn't mean we don't enjoy our sweet treats every now and then. Brownies are one of our favorite "go to" desserts. When you have a good basic brownie recipe, you can do a lot to change them up. Sometimes we leave the recipe alone and enjoy the simple treat as is. Other times we like to add an extra ingredient or two to the recipe to make them new and exciting. Today I am going to share my my favorite keto Read more [...]

I was sent a travel pillow from Honeydew for review. All opinions are my own. Remember my Honeydew Scrumptious Side-Sleeper pillow review? The Honeydew Scrumptious side-sleeper pillow was my favorite item from our whole 2019 holiday gift guide! I loved how the curved bottom of the pillow made it possible to get the pillow up under the side of my face without smashing excess pillow material into my shoulder. However, I also thought it would be nice if the edge of the pillow would be behind my Read more [...]

I was sent wireless earbuds from Tranya for review. All opinions are my own. Ryan started a new job back in June. For the first six months or so he was on his feet almost all day. He realized his work day could go a lot faster if he could listen to an audiobook or a podcast while working. In December he got promoted to an office job so he sits most of the day now. He decided that he wanted to try out some wireless earbuds now that he isn't too active. Yet he also wanted earbuds that fit well so Read more [...]

I received product from Mr IRONSTONE to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. If you're like me, you probably know it can be hard to find nice furniture pieces that are also affordable.  Last winter and spring, we renovated almost our entire house.  On top of renovating a bedroom into a pantry, opening up our living room, and redoing our dining room, we also took out a wall to make an upstairs loft area.  This space used to be our foster care bedroom.  But since we closed Read more [...]

My husband & I just returned from a vacation in Jamaica. It was our second visit to Jamaica, we also vacationed there in 2013. This year, my husband's parents gifted the whole family (8 adults total) the trip for Christmas. It was the first time we have gone on a tropical vacation together since we've been married and also the first time we've both been away from our children. We both love Jamaica and wanted to share our Top 5 Reasons To Vacation In Jamaica. #1 Friendly Locals & Great Read more [...]

This is a sponsored guest post. All opinions are my own. People are becoming more and more conscious of the environment and sustainability, so much so that eco-friendliness is becoming a lifestyle. And for the people who make this commitment to take the planet seriously, it cannot be exempt from any part of their lives. People are taking steps right here, right now, in their everyday life, and at more important events, like at their wedding. Think wedding gift ideas. So, what do you give Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband has been receiving SprezzaBoxes for about a year-and-a-half now. Overall, he's been pleased with some of the fun finds in the boxes he's received. So often he's tried out different things that he didn't know if he would like and actually did end up using/liking the product. There have been some things throughout the boxes that my husband didn't love, so we've given those items to his brothers, Read more [...]

I was sent products from InJoy Premium CBD for this review. This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Ryan injured his knee in high school by cutting it on a picnic table while colliding into it. He has a large, super-smooth scar where the cut was at. I imagine in part due to that injury, he battles with knee pain as that is his worst knee. Though he has pain in both knees and no injury happened to the other, so perhaps it's a combination of things. The pain seems to come and go, and Read more [...]
