Thank you to Wall Charmers for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband and I recently built a large shed on our property. It is my husband's dream shed and includes a loft space that will become his 'Man Cave'. Lately I have been on the lookout for fun decor pieces to add to his new space. When I came across Wall Charmers I was instantly intrigued. Even though my husband and I are both hunters, I do love the idea of "no harm, all charm" animal friendly decorations Read more [...]

Thank you Smart Games for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are my own. I'm a huge fan of brain teasers, riddles, and puzzles.  I like how a seemingly easy task or question turns into minutes or even hours of intense reflection, back-and-forth attempts, and often leads to out-of-the-box thinking. Oh, and few things are as satisfying as when you finally figure out a puzzle after wreaking your brains for who knows how long! As you probably already know, Read more [...]

I partnered with The Good Stuff of Coupons.com on this sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Going on vacation with your family is lots of fun, but the packing process can get quite hectic, especially when you have little ones running around. Then, you arrive at your destination, only to realize that you forgot some important things. If this happens to you, big-box retail stores, like Target and Walmart, can be lifesavers. Here's a look at some of the most common items people forget when vacationing Read more [...]

At the beginning of summer break, we have our daughters each write a summer bucket list. Their lists include anything and everything they hope to do that summer while on vacation from school. This year's summer bucket lists included family bike rides, swimming, play dates, slumber parties with their cousins, camping, a day at the beach, going to the county fair, watching a movie at the theater and trying new foods. When asked what new foods they wanted to try, my oldest said she wanted to try Read more [...]

Thank you to SoapSox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   It's no secret, my daughter is a huge SoapSox fan! Since we got to review her first SoapSox character Ava the Dolphin about a year ago, she hasn't taken a bath without her. Last winter we added Nemo to our bathtime pals and now the newest additions to our SoapSox menagerie are Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Mickey was meant to be for her little brother this fall, but she's having a great time with Mickey while Read more [...]

I received product from Colgate-Palmolive to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. I LOVE our Minnesota summers.  While last year never quite seemed warm enough for a beach day, this year was great!  We had lots of perfect days that were warm, but comfortable.  And there were even a few hot days where we enjoyed staying cool at the beach. Summer Loving, Had Me A Blast Seriously.  I think this was my favorite summer to date.  The kids are all self sufficient so there were no diaper Read more [...]

Thank you to Casio for providing me with product to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Have you started your back to school shopping yet?  September will be here before we know it!  I haven't gotten too much yet, in way of supplies.  Mainly just have the curriculum purchased for our homeschooling.  I will get the rest of our supplies soon though.  We've just been enjoying the beautiful weather too much to spend a day shopping!  But the brand I know and love every year that I Read more [...]

I partnered with Bright Settings on this sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Yesterday was my sisters 1 year anniversary. It's hard to believe it's been a full year since their wedding already! It was fun to be her bridesmaid and to get to help with planning a little bit. When you're planning a party, decorations are a huge part of setting the mood. When walking into a party or event, the look of the table settings is often the first thing to grab my attention. For example, walking Read more [...]
