Thank you to PBS for sending two DVDs for review in exchange for my honest opinion. We try to limit the TV and screen time our daughter gets daily, but this winter the screen time limit definitely was stretched due to the frigid temperatures and the massive amounts of snow we had (plus a newborn baby in the house). Now that it's spring I want her getting outside, get moving and get as much fresh air as possible. TV is going to be reserved for rest time and rainy days. When we do let our daughter Read more [...]

This is a sponsored guest post. Men's wedding rings are usually the cynosure of commitment, marriage, and love as we have come to know. But it isn't always so for some men at least. A single man will not place those emphases on his ring since he is not getting married but can still enjoy the look of a band. A ring can be just like any other piece of jewelry a man puts on to make his fashion statement standout. Unlike a wedding ring though, it aims to reveal a certain part of the male's body Read more [...]

I received product from Yönalé Birch Water to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. If I'm completely honest, my beverage of choice is almost always water.  But if you would have asked me 15 years ago, my answer would have been very different.  Sure, I'd drink some water.  But you'd also find me drinking a minimum of a soda per day as well as lemonade, milk, and other juices.  These days, my metabolism has definitely slowed down and I try to watch what I eat and drink Read more [...]

Thank you to Stuck On You for sending me these adorable Bento Boxes. As always, all opinions are my own. I've been on the hunt for bento boxes for quite awhile now. In the summer, we're always heading out the door and packing lunches to take along. I figured bento boxes would be the perfect option for the kids, since they keep everything separate and allow for a variety of food options. When I heard about Stuck On You's Mini Bento Boxes, I knew they would be perfect for our kids, especially since Read more [...]

I received product from Antsy Pants to help facilitate this review.  As always, all opinions are my own. Well, the sun has been shining bright over the past few days and, here in Minnesota, we couldn't be more delighted!  Why, you ask?  Because we STILL HAVE SNOW!  Isn't that crazy?  Just a week or so ago, we had another huge snowstorm.  But with March over half way over, we can't wait for Spring to finally arrive.  And to celebrate, we're gearing up with Antsy Pants Toys, a company that Read more [...]

Thank you to Maxi-Cosi for sending me a Lara Stroller to review. As always, all opinions are my own. If you've been keeping up with my posts, you've probably read that we're headed to the west coast later this spring and I couldn't be more excited! Mostly I'm excited because this has been a never-ending winter (with record snowfall for Minnesota in February!) and I've got the travel bug BAD. Our kids are going to be six and three when we travel this time. We're planning to do a few days in Seattle, Read more [...]

Thank you to Homegrown Garden Co. for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Today is one of the warmest days we have had this year. This nice weather has me thinking about our summer garden. We are going to do things a little bit different this year. This year, we want to better focus our plantings. We are going to grow fewer varieties, but plant larger numbers of the items we enjoy. We also have a new greenhouse. Our area isn't quite warm enough Read more [...]

Thank you to Ancient Harvest for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Last November, I switched to a gluten-free lifestyle. In the beginning, I completely cut out all grains for fear of accidentally eating something with gluten. As I became more educated in the world of gluten-free foods, I learned which grains were safe to add back into my diet. Quinoa is one of them. I make quinoa a few times a week. The trick is coming up with different Read more [...]
