Thank you to ONE Brands for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.

I try to make sure I have an assortment of healthy items for them to choose from. While searching the internet for high-protein/low-sugar snacks, I found ONE Brands Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West style bag for review. All opinions are my own. Those of you who have been following for a while know that I've done a few Nadine West Reviews now.

The style profile includes details on your size, which colors you like to wear, and so on. However, it also includes a general style portion that shows you some examples of clothing and you Read more [...]

I was provided with this African Sunflower Wreath by CSI Soundcore to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. I've always wanted a welcoming entry to our home.   And honestly, it's taken many years to get to that point.  When we first bought the farm from my husbands parents, the entry way actually had a wall down the center of it.  This made it a tight cramped place where there was literally nowhere to go or space to be had for removing coats and shoes.  So the very first thing we Read more [...]

I was sent a Bialtti pan in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own. We have a few meals that I regularly make, which tend to spill over our regular frying pans. Bialetti's Covered Deep Saute pan has come to the rescue, so to speak! I've found it to be a really nice, versatile pan. It's from The Bialetti Ceramic Pro line.

Thank you to Cupbuzz for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Now that I'm pregnant, and it's summertime, I am trying really hard to stay well hydrated. I am admittedly not as good at at staying hydrated and drinking water as I should be. As a nurse, I am well aware of the health benefits of staying well hydrated. One problem is, I don't care for water that isn't cold. I was excited to partner with Cupbuzz to create a custom tumbler that I can use at home and on the Read more [...]
