I was sent a Nadine West subscription box for review. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. I get so excited when the big pink envelope shows up from Nadine West! It comes in an envelope so I guess it's not really a subscription 'box' but it's incredible how much they can pack into a big bubble mailer! This time my Nadine West bag included 10 items. If you are new to hearing about Nadine West, they mail you clothing and accessories based on your style profile. You get Read more [...]

Thank you to Stencil Revolution for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Lately, I have been doing a lot of DIY Crafts.

Last month, I found a company called Stencil Revolution. Stencil Revolution is the place to go for craft stencils. They have a plethora of stencils Read more [...]

Thank you to LilGadgets for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. We're planning a trip to the west coast this spring, and we are SO excited! I've never been Seattle or the Portland area before, and my husband hasn't since he was a teenager. We're really looking forward to this trip, but as you can imagine, planning travel with two kids under six can be tough. Not only do we have all the packing and car seat safety to consider, we're also thinking about how to make the three Read more [...]

This is a sponsored guest post.  There is one thing that is most important to parents at the end of a long day, and that is sleep. Having two kids of my own, I can say I have a lot of experience in this area. I know many tips and tricks to make bedtime easier. Stick To A Routine You definitely need to stick to a bedtime routine.

As a teenager and in my early 20's I was the type of person who would take 13 days to finish a 10-day antibiotic regimen. I just couldn't get in the habit of remembering medications so I'd always miss a few. When I had my first epileptic seizure at age 23, and a second two days later and was told I now had epilepsy and would require seizure medication to keep myself from having more seizures? I knew that I had to find a way to get good at remembering my medications, and fast. Medication Reminder Read more [...]

Over the years, our home has changed quite a bit.  When we first moved in, we completely gutted the kitchen.  Taking out the peninsula, yes you had to walk around 3 sets of "cupboards" to get into the actual kitchen, made a huge difference.  The layout of the house was still the same but we felt making some changes made it more practical. We Need An Office The one problem we had though was a lack of an office.  For many years, our "office" was just a large desk located in our living room.  Read more [...]

I received product from Gold Pigeon Shoes to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. It's finally happening.  Both my husband and I noticed a change in the air this week.  Things feel just a bit warmer here in Minnesota, the sun has more power, and I think it's time to start dreaming about Spring!  Unfortunately, we are not taking any spring vacations this year.  But that won't stop me from planning for the warmer weather and days at the local beach. Spring, Summer, Sun, & Read more [...]

Thank you to Jill at Baby Rabies for giving me a free copy of this amazing eBook! This post contains affiliate links. As always, all opinions are my own. For the past few years, one of my biggest challenges while leaving the house is deciding whether to bring my "big" DSLR camera or my phone to take photos. Obviously my camera takes higher quality photos, but GOSH it can get heavy and bulky to carry around, especially with kids and all of the other stuff I'm hauling for them. On top of that, I Read more [...]
