Thank you to Comfort Zone for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. We often host family gatherings. It isn't abnormal for us to have 20-30 people in our home during these events. With that many people, our two dogs often show signs of anxiety and stress. I looked into different calming products but didn't find one I liked. Then I was asked to review Comfort Zone dog Calming Vest for anxiety and stress relief and liked the what I read. Comfort Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post with BroBasket. I have experienced BroBasket gift sets first hand in the past. All opinions are my own. When I think about gift baskets, I tend to think about women first. I love getting bath or beauty themed gift baskets myself. You just don't usually see as many gift baskets for men in general. I love that BroBasket caters to gift baskets for men. Most BroBaskets feature alcohol gift sets, though they have some alcohol-free BroBaskets (boozeless, as they say on their Read more [...]

Thank you to Natural First Look for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I recently accepted an offer to review Natural First Look's TarlEl’s Arm Lift & Toner System. When I was telling my mom about TarlEl’s Arm Lift & Toner System, she asked if she could give them a try. The following are her words. I am not usually “that” critical of my body given it’s 63 years old but if I am going to complain, it’s about my upper arms. Read more [...]

Thank you to True Growth for sending a True Tot Tower for review in exchange for my honest opinion. We have had a True Growth True Tot Tower for our daughter since October. We have used it for so many things! We Colored Easter Eggs using it, have done tons of arts and crafts projects and she has done a great deal of assisting in the kitchen and supervising my cooking and baking as well. She loves that she can be right in the action, and I love that she is safe! I am looking forward to looking Read more [...]

I was sent a clothing bag from Nadine West for review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. Ryan was talking to me about how he needs new summer clothing recently. I realized I don't need to do much shopping myself, and it's because I conveniently get clothing sent to me from Nadine West instead. It's so nice to be able to try out clothing without having to browse tons of stores. They send you items each month and you send back anything you don't want, and you'll only Read more [...]

Thank you to The Fishing Caddy for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband and I love to fish. We grew up fishing with our dads and have very fond memories related to fishing. We both knew that fishing was something we wanted to do with our children as well, so we started bringing our daughter fishing in her tiny life jacket when she was just 6 months old. We did the same thing with our son, he has already been fishing with us in the boat this summer in that Read more [...]

I was sent an eLuxury mattress for review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. My dad was 46 when I was born, and he retired at 62, when I was in 11th grade. He's always been a pretty simple person, but as he's gotten older I've found it harder and harder to come up with gift ideas for him. He likes to fish, but he has a handful of fishing poles and a boat. He's never been one for fancy equipment. He likes to wear his clothes until they fall apart. He enjoys keeping Read more [...]

I received product from Starlux Games to facilitate this post.  As usual, all opinions are my own. Summer has finally hit here in Minnesota and you know what we did last weekend?  We played Capture the Flag Redux, an interactive, glowing game that kids AND adults love!  After my cousin's annal bean bag tournament, we sat around the fire waiting for dark.  Once it hit, we were off!  Starlux Games has placed a spin on this classic childhood game, making it even better.  It was definitely a Read more [...]

I received product from Veyo Kids to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Summer is here!  I love that June has finally arrived.  We've already gone on a couple of family bike rides, stopped to splash at the beach for a bit, and even had our first summer swimming lessons for the three youngest kids.  But best of all, the sun has actually been shining here in Minnesota!  After a May snowstorm this year, summer is more than welcome to stick around for awhile. Sun Protection We Read more [...]
