Do you ever want to just sit down with the family and watch a movie but don't know what to see?  While we limit screen time majorly in our home, about once a month we love having family movie night.  Sometimes we skip out during the summer and just hang out in the yard till well past bedtime.  But throughout the year, it's always nice to have some options for in-climate weather.  While I knot you can get movies digitally from many places, we don't subscribe to any.  So instead, we utilize our Read more [...]

Thank you to GiftsForYouNow for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Right now, we are in the process of building a large shed/man cave at our house. My husband is super excited about his dream becoming a reality! I had the pleasure of partnering with GiftsForYouNow to get my husband the perfect gift this year - a custom sign for his new 'man cave'. The shed will have a loft area, which my husband plans to use as his new hang out space when friends come over. His current Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West subscription in exchange for sharing my review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. I fell in love with the concept of Nadine West during my first review back in February. I got another fashion shipment from them in April and did a second Nadine West review. This is my third one and I'm excited to share a bit more of a spring-focused Nadine West bag with you! Just as a quick overview for those who missed the first two posts, Nadine West is Read more [...]

Thank you to Crepe Erase for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Chances are pretty good you have seen the commercials for Crepe Erase. Crepe Erase is the product that helps to reduce "crepey" skin. Every time I see the commercial, I wonder if it really works. Well, a few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to try it for myself. I was excited until I learned that Crepe Erase contains coconut oil. I am allergic to coconut oil so I wouldn't Read more [...]

Thank you to Tasterie for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to myself.  For a long time I have known that dairy and I just don't agree with each other after eating any amount of it I almost always was met with some unfortunate cramps and pain in my lower abdomen. I began avoiding dairy in most forms (except butter) and most of my family did as well since I was the one doing the cooking and shopping. Recently (within the last year or so) I've noticed my six Read more [...]

Do you have any college or high school graduates in your life this year?  Both are huge milestones and the achievement should be celebrated.  While there are many momentous occasions in a lifetime, the stepping stones of graduating is definitely big.  And along with celebrating the graduates, I love to find fun gifts to give in honor of the occasion.  So today, I'm excited to partner with PAPYRUS and share just a few of their fun choices. Graduation Gifts From PAPYRUS PAPYRUS Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post in partnership with The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. My grandparents' kitchen always smelled of coffee. We called my grandpa "Papa" and he made his coffee with a glass percolator. Even now, I don't drink coffee myself, but I've always enjoyed the smell, and there was even a comfort in the noise of the percolator dripping on the stove. When I was a kid, my mom had about a 20 minute commute to work and she had to leave before she could get us on the school bus. She'd Read more [...]

I received product from Colgate-Palmolive to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Summer is almost here!  So with spring in full swing, we are totally enjoying all that the change in seasons has to offer.  With all the warm weather we've been having in Minnesota, it's been a welcome change from the bitter cold winter that went into April this year!   It's also time to get outside and get busy.  We have a variety of projects in the works.   From a new playground install to just Read more [...]

I was sent a pair of SAS Shelly sandals for review. All opinions are my own. I've always had wide feet. I've purchased shoes that are 1/2 or 1 full size larger than my foot size, to gain the extra width needed, especially for heels or sandals. While sizing up for width reduces how much pain I get from the sides of the shoes, it often causes issues with my gait because the shoe doesn't stay in place as well. I used to buy simple men's flip-flops, because they are wider than women's for the Read more [...]
