I received product from NCircle Entertainment to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Once summer ends, it starts to get COLD here in Minnesota.  So while we don't spend much time in front of the screens during the hot summer days, winter is a different story.  On the days that it's just way too cold out... We love to hang out in the living room as a family and sit down to watch a dvd together.  Sitting in front of the fireplace, all curled up in blankets, snuggled together Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. Subscription boxes are so fun! The fun of a surprise never wears off. I'm not sure who is more excited to open my husband's monthly SprezzaBox - him or I?! Some of the boxes have been 'home runs' and a few haven't quite been my husband's style. This box was one of the latter. Last month we had a box that was a 'home run' and you can check out that review: SprezzaBox Review June 2019 Read more [...]

I was sent products from Fruit Of The Loom. All opinions are my own. In my area, kids go back to school next week. So everyone is working on last-minute school shopping now. While we think of items like new backpacks, outfits and pencils when back to school shopping, it's important to remember underclothes too. Even though it's been years since I've attended school, I often buy myself socks and sometimes underwear as well, this time of year. Many stores have those sorts of clothing on sale Read more [...]

Thank you to PBS for sending DVDs for review in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we love PBS in this house! My husband and I both grew up on PBS and now our kids are as well. At three-and-a-half-years-old my daughter has decided she doesn't need a nap anymore. This makes for one exhausted momma most days! So, I am trying to do a 'quiet/rest time' in the afternoons even if she does not sleep. Lately I have been turning to some new favorite Read more [...]

Thanks to Stuck On You for sending me all of these goodies! As always, all opinions are my own. As we head into the school season, I've noticed that Target is absolutely packed the last few times I've been there. I can only assume it's everyone grabbing their last minute back-to-school items and I'll tell you, I have wanted to completely avoid that whole mess this year! While our kids are homeschooled, I still purchase supplies each year for them to use at home and at our homeschool co-op. This Read more [...]

I received product from Giggly Goggles.  As always, all opinions are my own. My kids LOVE water.   We've been taking them to lakes and pools since they've been infants.  In part, I definitely credit this early introduction to their love of swimming.  It's so nice seeing them enjoy days at the beach, splashing and playing.  Watching them have so much fun brings me lots of joy.  But even with their love of water play, one thing they don't love is getting water splashed in their eyes. The Read more [...]

Desert Essence sent me hair care products to review. All opinions are my own. I've been using the curly girl method on my hair for about 16 months now. My whole life I had assumed my hair was straight but I was brushing it straight out of the shower and wondering why it was often poofy and frizzy. After learning natural curly hair care methods from the curly girl method I found that my hair is primarily wavy with some "true" curls (meaning full 360 degree spin ringlets). However, I had still struggled Read more [...]

Thank you to Clear Ear for sending the OTO-TIP for review in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. Earwax. Just the word makes most people shudder at least a little. Earwax is made in the outer ear canal by special glands. The medical term for earwax is cerumen. Why do we have earwax? It has several jobs: it protects and moisturizes the skin of ear canal, it contains special chemicals that fight off infections, and it acts as a buffer between the outside world and the eardrum. Earwax Read more [...]

I received product from Tiny Love to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Back-to-school season can be an exciting time, even for new parents whose little ones may still be in early stages of development!  Although your baby may not be heading to the classroom just yet, learning can still start with a fun, developmental mats from Tiny Love! Tiny Love Toys And Gear I've been a HUGE fan of Tiny Love products for years now.  Ever since I discovered them with our first Read more [...]
