Thank you to iHealth for sending a thermometer in exchange for this feature post. Both of my children were sick last weekend. It started with my son and soon my daughter got it too. A nasty stomach bug. Now that both kids are feeling better I thought I would write a post about My Top 5 Things To Have On Hand When Your Child Is Sick. It seems like kids never get sick at 'convenient' times. If it's late at night, early in the morning or you are at home by yourself, you don't want to be running Read more [...]

I received product from Love Sun Body to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. We are SO ready for summer here in Minnesota.  Because did you hear that we had a big snowstorm in May this year!?  Yes, MAY!  Instead of the old adage 'April showers bring May flowers'.  We received snow.  I had literally just put our winter gear away a few days previously because it truly felt like spring had sprung.  And then Mother Nature laughed and got the last word.  But now that we're Read more [...]

Thanks to Y'OUR for sending me a personalized skincare kit. As always, all opinions are my own.

This winter, I did notice that my skin was more dry than usual and I thought it may be time to add a moisturizer. When I heard about Y'OUR Personalized Skin Care, I immediately Read more [...]

The Sweets & Snacks Expo has four acres of products from the confectionery and snack industries Read more [...]

I've never had braces.  My husband has never had braces.  We had really hoped that our kids would not need braces.  Because "your child needs braces" is something that no parent ever wants to hear.  We all know that braces are expensive.  And from what I've heard from almost everyone I know ..... is that insurance very rarely covers them either.  After checking around with a couple of orthodontists and talking to our insurance company, we found that to be true in our case as well.  We were Read more [...]

I received product from Feltman Brothers to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Do you get your little kids dressed up in true Father's Day style for all the festivities of the day?  Whether heading out to brunch, church, picnic, or just a simple family gathering, Feltman Brother offers classic styles that everyone loves.  I have to say, I'm a little sad about the fact that this will be the last Father's Day our sweet little girl will fit in Feltman Brother's gorgeous clothes.  Read more [...]
