Thank you to Gentleman's Box for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. My husband is hard to shop for, and since we just recently finished celebrating Christmas, I was at a loss as to what to give him for Valentine's Day. Gift giving is my love language, so it's important to me to find personal gifts he'll really love and use. One thing he seems to be lacking in right now are clothes and accessories for dressy occasions. We attend a few weddings, banquets, and other events during Read more [...]

There are affiliate links in this post. There is a paid link in this article.  I've seen people talk about self-care quite a bit but I used to skip over most of those posts. While I haven't specifically taken time aside to take care of myself, I felt like I got by pretty well without needing to do that. I did some therapy as a teenager and learned some coping methods that were pretty helpful. So although I battle anxiety, I think I manage well most of the time. Back in the fall, I Read more [...]

I received a copy of this game at no cost to facilitate an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own. We're always looking for new and fun games to play as a family! While we have two young kids, we often visit my parents and my siblings come home for long weekends. During these times, we love to play some games when the kids go to sleep each night. Trivia games tend to be our favorites, and we can get pretty competitive! When I heard about the game Are You Dumber Than a Box of Rocks?, Read more [...]

I was sent a Chala charming crossbody handbag for review. All opinions are my own. Back in December I introduced you to Chala Bags in my Chala Bowling Bag review (pictured above). I really liked it and felt it was really well made, but it was a bit big for me. It will be great for other uses, but I decided to turn back to Chala handbags for a slightly smaller handbag to use every day. This time I chose the Chala Crossbody Handbag. It comes in 9 different color options. I was sent dark Read more [...]

Thank you to DoorFoto for providing me with a sample to facilitate this post.  As usual, all opinions are my own. When I used to do daycare, I would go all out when decorating.  The walls and doors would be beautifully decorated for every occasion.  But over the years, I've tired with how difficult it is to keep construction paper and plastic decorations adhered.  So I've kind of given up.  But just recently, I was introduced to a new way to decorate the doors in your life.  And I think you're Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West subscription in exchange for this review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. Monthly Clothing subscriptions are a fun way to try out new outfits from the comfort of your own home. I love Nadine Westbecause they send affordable clothing. Many other monthly clothing subscription services send really expensive clothing which just isn't within my budget. Most items from Nadine West range from about $15-$35 per piece. They will send you several Read more [...]
