Thank you to Tree Tribe for sending me these awesome water bottles! As always, all opinions are my own. At the beginning of every year I make a resolution to drink more water. Throughout the year I have ups and downs where I do really great for awhile and then I fall off the wagon. I think it's especially hard for me to remember to drink enough water in the winter because it's just so cold in Minnesota. Summer is much easier, because I'm always thirsty from the heat! This year I started 2019 with Read more [...]

Thank you to Kiddo Lab for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I am just finishing up my maternity leave from work. It was so fun to be able to spend ten weeks with both of my kids full time. Since we spent most of our days at home, my three-year-old daughter started to get a little bored. It was fun to be able to pull out some new toys from KiddoLab to entertain them. At 2.5 months old, my little guy has just found his hands. He is starting to bring them to Read more [...]

Crane USA sent a humidifier in partnership with this post. All opinions are my own. I don't know if this is true for your family, but winter for us typically means more illnesses go through our house than the rest of the year. Our son has been prone to respiratory colds since he was just a baby, and he likes to pass those around with the rest of us sometimes, too! Our daughter tends to get nosebleeds at the changing of the seasons, especially as we head into winter. We live in a very old house Read more [...]

Thank you to Swaddle Designs for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My little boy is now almost two and a half months old. How is this possible? It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with him. Sleep is something I tend to talk a lot about on the blog, as I am always on the lookout for products that will help with my family's sleep. It is crazy to me when friends and family members talk about their babies sleeping through the night, some as early as just Read more [...]

I received some of Softsoap's new holiday body washes to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Are you ready!?  I can hardly believe it but Christmas is almost here!  My kids are thrilled.  I'm excited but not as much as usual.  Why?  Honestly, I'm a little stressed right now!  We just started remodeling (the week before Christmas......WHO does that!?!)  So about half of our house is out of commission right now.  And our living room.  Yeah.  That's located in the garage currently.  Read more [...]
