Thank you to Cortex Toys - Baby Says for sending Chalkboard Shoes for review in exchange for my honest opinion. If you follow the blog you know that I am an aspiring photographer. I still have a lot to learn, but learning is half the fun! I most enjoy taking photos of my own children, but I also enjoy taking photos for others and have dabbled in newborn, milestone, children, family, engagement and maternity photos for friends and family as well. I am always on the lookout for fun props to Read more [...]

That being said, sometimes I'm the "mean mom" who needs her cushions to be ON the couch and not heaped around the living room covered in blankets. When I heard about AirFort, I knew it would be the perfect fit for our family because it goes up and down in just seconds! That means I can be the "cool mom" and let my kids have Read more [...]

I received product from Acme Made to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. With Father's Day approaching, it's time to start pondering what you'd like to get dad this year.  Do you find it hard to settle on a great gift idea?  He probably has enough ties already.  If he's like my husband, he may not even really need anything.  Or perhaps, he doesn't even realize what he's missing?  So this year, consider giving him a useful gift that he will absolutely love once he has Read more [...]
